Logan Paul said on In Depth With Graham Bensinger that he declined two requests from Floyd Mayweather Jr. to have a rematch of their June 2021 exhibition bout.
“Yeah. He asked me. He asked me. Twice. He was supposed to fight someone on top of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai – it fell through. He asked if I wanted to step in. I said no. He’s not a person you take a fight on six weeks notice with, and not with the goal that I have. I already fought Floyd Mayweather. If I did it again, it would be to beat Floyd Mayweather – which I think is doable. I just need to train proper… And also if I fought him again it wouldn’t be 85/15, it’s 50/50. ‘F–k you bro, I don’t need this s–t. You need it way more than I do.'”

Although Paul isn’t interested in fighting the 47-year-old Mayweather again, he believes he’d defeat the former boxing champion and undefeated pugilist (5-0).
“I think I’d beat him…Because I was so enthralled with the idea of fighting Floyd Mayweather. In my head he’s this 5’2″ giant, but he’s just 5’2”, Paul said.
“He’s beatable. I’m a YouTuber and I went eight rounds with ‘the greatest fighter of all time?’ Yeah right.”
Mayweather actually stands a half-foot taller at 5’8″, but Paul’s sentiments on the matter were made abundantly clear. It doesn’t appear that a rematch will go down, though.
“Probably not,” Paul said.

“Maybe, but I just feel like I got bigger fish to fry, literally. But the idea of being the only person to knock out Floyd Mayweather excites me. I would also request 10 rounds, because I was coming alive at the end. He was not.”
Boxing doesn’t seem to be in Paul’s future at the moment, regardless. The now-WWE superstar currently holds the promotion’s United States Champion belt. He’ll be defending that title at WrestleMania XL in a triple threat match against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.
