Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul will lock horns against each other on June 6 at the Hard Rock Stadium, putting a keenly awaited matchup to the display. They have already made a tremendous noise with their controversial face-off last week. Hence, the fight community seems to have stuck its sights on the event.
Apart from the eye-catchy headliner, the event has already confirmed two more fights. The third one of them will feature EX-NFL star Chad Johnson’s debut against a yet-to-be-named opponent. So, it has the potential to garner recording-breaking PPV sales in the coming days.
