Floyd Mayweather is well aware that that mere boxing prowess isn't sufficient to fill seats in arenas. That's why the former champion chose a novice boxer with a massive following on social media as his next opponent.

Former Vine star Logan Paul, older brother of 'The Problem Child' Jake Paul, is set to face Mayweather on June 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The exhibition bout will most likely comprise eight three-minute rounds. Logan first called Floyd out via social media, and after months of contract negotiations, the undefeated boxer finally inked the dotted line.

Although boxing pundits have ruled out Logan Paul's chances of winning the bout, 'The Maverick' believes his massive size advantage will make up for his inadequate skillset against Floyd Mayweather. In a recent interview with Showtime Sports, the 26-year-old claimed that he is primed to swing at the boxing ace with bad intentions.

"I think on June 6, we're going to find out why there's weight classes in boxing. I'm not some guy going in there and tapping you. I ain't got pillow hands, I hit hard. I hit fast and I'm tall. My reach is 76" but I fight like I have an 86" reach," said Logan Paul.
