Eddie Hearn regrets promoting Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight

Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul took on each other in an eight-round exhibition fight last month; a bout which was heavily promoted by Eddie Hearn.

The famous boxing promoter has now admitted that he was uncomfortable promoting such a fight and further branded it as a ‘disgrace’.

Mayweather, an undisputed champion, went the entire eight rounds against the YouTuber in Miami in June and was mocked for failing to knock out the OAP.

Eddie Hearn who expressed disappointment about the fight now says such an encounter should never have occurred.
