Logan Paul Claims He ‘Busted’ Floyd Mayweather’s Eardrum During Their Fight
For Logan Paul, fighting Floyd Mayweather is possibly the most enthralling experience of his life. The 26-year-old recently described what it was like to share the ring with one of the all-time greats on his podcast, ‘Impaulsive’.
Speaking with his brother Jake Paul, he shared that he instantly figured out that landing on Mayweather won’t be easy. But as the fight progressed, ‘Maverick’ began feeling more confident in his abilities.
“This man is hard to hit. I am long and I got him with a couple good jabs… Every time I hit him, my confidence just went up, ‘Oh, he’s just a man’,” Paul said.
Further detailing the fight, he also shared that he apparently ruptured Mayweather’s eardrum. “My chest pumps out a little and I feel ‘I can do it He is a human’, granted tough ass fucking guy. I busted his ear like I busted his ear. I heard from behind the scenes. Guess what, in the fight I didn’t know. And he kept coming at me,” he told his younger brother.

Paul’s grit also was impressed Mayweather during the fight. “Great young fighter. Strong, tough. He’s better than I thought he was,” Mayweather said during his post-fight interview.
