Why did the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul bout become so intense?

The stare-down showed how intense the exhibition is. Despite there being no official winner, both fighters want to knock each other out. So why has an exhibition bout turned into a heated affair?

For Mayweather, things turned sour in the first press conference when Logan Paul’s brother, Jake Paul, tried to troll him. A massive brawl followed, and Mayweather showed a side of him which no one had ever seen before. After that, it was clear Mayweather was going to take this seriously.

Logan Paul, on the other hand, goes into this bout on the back of heaps of criticism. Many have questioned whether he even deserves to face one of the best fighters in history. Therefore, he is eager to prove his worth and shut down all the critics.

Thus, if the face-off is anything to go by, fans can look forward to a no-nonsense fight on Sunday night. Only time will tell if Mayweather and Paul live up to their words of taking the fight seriously.
