Ahead of their June 6 exhibition matchup which won’t count on anyone’s record and isn’t sanctioned, Logan Paul says Floyd Mayweather has “everything to lose,” a concept that works along the same lines as The Rock having “everything to lose” when he faced John Cena at WrestleMania XXVIII. “I have nothing to lose.

Posted on 05/16/2021 By: Hans Themistode The sport of boxing has always had a specific pecking order.

Posted on 05/16/2021 By: Hans Themistode Over the past few weeks, Stephen Fulton was asked to put on his analysis cap.
