JAKE PAUL insisted his brother Logan ‘did better than Conor McGregor’ against Floyd Mayweather – with punch arguably stats to prove it. Mayweather officially retired as a professional in 2017, stopping ex-UFC champion McGregor in ten rounds.

He recently returned for an exhibition spectacle against YouTube star Logan, and to the surprise of many failed to score a knockout win.
Mayweather, 44, gave away TWO STONE, which proved decisive as it went the full eight round distance, meaning no winner was declared.
Logan, 26, claimed a moral victory by defining the odds to survive, and in the eyes of his younger brother Jake, bettered McGregor’s performance.
He said on an episode of the Impaulsive podcast: “Either way, you did better than Conor McGregor against Floyd Mayweather.”
Stats revealed Mayweather actually landed fewer jabs as well as power punches against Logan than he did with McGregor and was less accurate.
But offensively, McGregor, 32, was more accurate against Mayweather than Logan, throwing and landing more, but did have an extra two rounds.
Jake, 24, argued the final punch figures should be ignored regardless, believing his stats after knocking out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, were floored.
He said: “I saw a lot of people posting the stats. Like the side-by-side, punching stats, no, no, no, pause.

“It made you look like you didn’t do as good as people thought, right?
“But, in the Jake Paul vs Nate Robinson fight when they posted the side-by-side stats, the stats said that he hit me like eight times, and I only hit him like four times.
“Bro, so f*** those f***ing stats. Whoever’s counting that s*** is a f***ing idiot.
“Nate Robinson didn’t hit me once, and I hit him dozens of times and knocked him down to the ground three times.
“So, how could I only have hit him four times?”

‘The Chosen One’ Woodley has lost four UFC bouts on the spin since his 2018 victory over Darren Till.
And White remains as syncial as ever about the quality of Paul’s ‘boxing career’.
White told Sky: “Woodley is [39] years old, okay? He hasn’t won a fight in three years in something he’s actually supposed to be good at.
“Now he’s going to box?
“How do you sell that fight? Lots of other things other than that matters.
“Jake Paul will say mean things about me.”
White and Paul have history with the UFC chief regularly ripping into the online personality’s ‘fight career’.
He recently claimed Paul was ‘full of s***’ and accused him of lying about the amount of pay-per-views he sold for his win over Ben Askren.

And he also point-blank refused to do business with Paul after Kamaru Usman issued a chilling threat to the 24-year-old.
Many have suggested Paul have an MMA bout but he won’t be doing it in a UFC octagon, according to White.
But Paul did hit back at one point blasting White for the way he treats and pays UFC fighters.
Speaking about his upcoming bout with Woodley after a heated face-off, Paul said: “I can’t wait, this is what I do now. I’m active. I can’t wait to put on a show and shock the world again.
“That’s what I do – I shock the world every single time.
“Explosive, electrifying, quick. A boxing clinic, for real.
“It will be a boxing clinic – you will see me pick apart a UFC striker.”

I will knockout Nate Diaz after I knockout Woodley— Paul Paul (@jakepaul) June 13, 2021

Paul, who in April beat Ben Askren in one round in his last fight, faces Woodley in his fourth professional bout on August 28.
But he has made it clear who he is targeting afterwards, as he promised back-to-back KOs.
Paul, 24, tweeted: “I will knockout Nate Diaz after I knockout Woodley.”
Diaz, 36, was called out following his points loss to British welterweight Leon Edwards, 29, at UFC 263.
The American veteran now has one fight left on his UFC contract and will be free to make a switch to the boxing ring once his deal is up.
Paul revealed he is chasing a fight with Diaz to in turn convince Conor McGregor, 32, into a mega-money showdown.
He told ESPN in April: “I think people will immediately write me off but they’re going to tune into watch.
“It’s two massive names and it’s a massive pay-per-view.

“When people see me obliterate [Diaz], their jaws are going to drop, they’re not going to know how to react and they’re going to think it’s rigged again.
“At that moment in time, I’ll be undeniable to fight Conor McGregor because I beat the guy who beat him.
“The Jake Paul vs Conor fight is a massive fight so I’m like why wait?
“I don’t need to be in this sport forever, I don’t need 100 fights so why wait, let’s do it right away.”

White and boxing promoter Eddie Hearn were among those critical of the pay-per-view exhibition, which still sold a reported 1million pay-per-views.
But UFC commentator Rogan was full of praise for the spectacle bout, which Mayweather had boasted could earn him up to $100m (£70m).
He said on his renowned podcast: “For people who got mad at it, I get it — it’s not Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao from five years ago.
“But what it is is one of the best boxers of all time making $100million fighting a guy that’s three feet taller than him and 35 pounds heavier than him who can’t win.
“It’s amazing, it’s amazing. That fight was amazing.There’s a lot of amazing things. First of all, Floyd is amazing.
“The fact that Floyd has the balls at 44 years old to decide, ‘Oh I’m gonna fight some dude that’s 35 pounds heavier than me and 26 years old’.
“It’s crazy.”

He did make a brief return a year later in a one round demolition against featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in Tokyo.
Paul, 26, meanwhile had boxed only twice before, both against online rival KSI, drawing the first in 2018 before losing the rematch a year on.
But he did have a farcical TWO STONE weight advantage over Mayweather, which he used to survive and claim moral victory by going the distance.
White, who urged Mayweather to retire, attacked the exhibition showcase and argued the real losers were the paying customers.
He told UFC Arabia: “That wasn’t a f***ing boxing match. Like I said before, there’s always going to be a market for that kind of stuff.
“There’s always going to be people that are willing to put down $50 to watch that kind of stuff. That’s so far away [from what we do].
“Think about this — imagine if Kim Kardashian wanted to fight Amanda Nunes. How big do you think that fight would be? It would be huge.
“It would be the biggest [event] but give me a f***ing break.”

DANA WHITE urged Floyd Mayweather to retire and stop the ‘silly’ exhibitions – while he remains undecided on giving Logan Paul a shot in the UFC. Boxing legend Mayweather, to the shock of many, was taken the full eight round distance by YouTube star Paul in their Miami showcase bout.

But it was blasted by UFC president White, who called on his friend to hang up the gloves for good.
He told TMZ Sports: “Floyd should retire and he’s had an incredible career and to do these type of fights, it’s silly.”
Mayweather, 44, officially hung up the gloves in 2017 after stopping ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 32, in a fight White helped promote.
He did come back a year later, beating featherweight kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa in a similar spectacle.
The American great then announced he was ‘coming out of retirement’ and would work alongside White.
But amid the coronavirus pandemic, the pair never linked up, and are not likely to do so after Mayweather poured cold water on another return.
After fighting Paul, he said: “As far as me fighting again, absolutely not. As far as me doing another exhibition, probably not.”
Paul, 26, on the other hand opened the door to an MMA switch and believes his time as a high school wrestler leaves him more suited to the cage.

White has previously distanced himself from working with the social media sensation or his little brother Jake, 24.
But for the first time, he appeared to at least contemplate giving Paul a crack in the UFC.
White said: “There’s no doubt when you look at both those two kids, they take it seriously. They both really do train hard.
“They’re not just showing up for a pay cheque. I don’t know, man. I don’t know.
“Here’s the thing, not to say that I haven’t taken a guy in that’s been 0-0 into the UFC and done those types of fights before. I don’t know.”
