Logan Paul moving to Puerto Rico, fight back on?

[eaLiTy]

I don't know why Mayweather exhibition matches are even making any hype. I mean there are a lot of aspiring boxers out there why give the spotlight to those who are already retired and just making money fighting amateur boxers. I would gladly pay for this if this is a charity fight where proceeds would go for those who are in need especially during this pandemic. It's too obvious who would win this fight, and this is not entertaining for a boxing match.

There is no hype for the Mayweather and Paul Logan fight and so is the reason we did not hear anything about it after that. These are promotional tactics that they follow to throw a match up and if it creates a buzz online then they will proceed with it. I would pay for a fight if Mayweather is fighting someone who is much heavier than him from a different background rather than some amateur boxers .

This fight is cancelled and I don't think that they will consider it again. Mayweather thought that he will get a $50 million plus paycheck, for a few minutes of fighting. But unfortunately the fans were not interested as they kept the PPV pricing too high. Most of them would have spent $9.99 or $19.99 on the PPV. But this match was priced at $69.99 and most of the fans found it unaffordable.

Times have changed, Mayweather thought that he could still attract big crowds by himself, and while that was true in the past this is not the case anymore, and there are too many factors about it, to begin with his opponent, if we can even call it that, is not going to present any kind of meaningful opposition, second we know that Mayweather is no longer on the best shape as his age and lack of training has taken its toll, if he wants a big payday and wants to return to the spotlight then a rematch with Canelo could be the way to do it but I doubt it will happen.

I doubt Mayweather would risk his undefeated record fighting Canelo no matter how much money is dangled in front of him. I’m guessing he’s probably feeling his age and reconsidering even the Logan fight. He was assured enough money to make it worth his while. Maybe he’s not as confident about beating Logan Paul as everyone else is that he will.

this match was priced at $69.99

No wonder then, the price had to adjust for the lack of revenue and there wasn't enough hype.   If they had a million willing to pay then between the price wouldn't have to be so high but seems the audience was well below 100k possible sales hence they pull it, I think something similar is still possible in future but with more realistic targets.   Floyd is unlikely to fight for less then the biggest amounts, he doesnt have to so Logan is going to be forced to do this the hard way like any job requires.    We'll find out how much he really wants to be a boxer when he is the same as anyone else.  
   Logan isnt a global figure, maybe Pewdiepie steps up  

There is no hype for the Mayweather and Paul Logan fight

Shouldn't be that hard, people will go to see cars smashed to bits in stock car races; I think lockdown was not an aid to their hype this time.

oh that's why it canceled, maybe they found it unaffordable because they will only watch the fight via sattelite which is not exciting anymore because you could not see and hear the real action, maybe they only gather few amounts of money knowing that Mayweather is a high value boxer literally because everyone that wants to challenge him gets the little amount of money and of course the winner will be him, I thought the reason why it is canceled because of the pandemic.

Logan Paul announcing he’s moving to Puerto Rico to save on income taxes seems to me like a move one would make if they were planning a big payday. That makes me think the fight with him and Mayweather may actually happen.  That or he’s got some other big business moves in the works, but I can’t think of any.

What do you think? Will this fight still happen?

I hope not because it makes a mockery of the sport, this youtube guy is a real douche bag. If by some chance the fight happens I hope Mayweather goes hard & really hurts him.

To be able to find out if this fight happens, we need to ask people who bough PPV, as access to it was on sale long before the fight and closer to fight date, PPV price rose. If they got their money back, then the fight is 100% cancelled. If not, then fighters and their managers are simply selling the fight, spreading news and rumors.

Logan Paul moving to Puerto Rico is not related to their fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., I think. Based on the article I've read, it is purely just because of tax rates, but I was surprised with this;

Once Paul is settled in, he is in for a huge shock because while compared to the lower 48 states, sure, the taxes are lower. But, and this is a huge but, according to Forbes, you are still legally liable to pay taxes on all assets accumulated prior to the move to the island. That’s a 37% federal rate plus, since Paul is from California, an additional 13%. The tax perks are only applicable to income accrued after you become a citizen of Puerto Rico, and for at least the next decade, Paul will be paying taxes on his estimated $19 million dollars in assets that he accrued prior.

And I think Logan Paul didn't think about this. About the fight, Mayweather said that it is really going to happen. But in my opinion, Logan will probably always avoid this fight happening by giving lame excuses since he is just a spoiled kid even in his age, but really scared fighting a pro boxer. Just pure boasting and trying to get everyone's attention (attention seeker).

Myself too think the same. There is no big discussion about the fight between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather. Everything will have some form of connectivity. Right now the statement is to make promotional push for the fight. Slowly people start discussing about his decision associating with the tax and other concern. Further it'll end with the fight between two, so everything seems to be some form of tactics.

I have read it from the different sources that the corruption in Puerto Rico is through the roof. Very low business ethics, liars, thieves are everywhere... I know Peter Schiff lives in PR too for the same reason (low taxes) but I don't know if it is really worth it. Probably a good place if you are a HNWI that doesn't have to work for a living and probably a hell for the middle class people.

There are three identifiable understandings of corruption and anticorruption in the case of the Puerto Rican Summer: 1) colonial corruption and anticorruption policies implemented by the US government in PR; 2) corruption as a form of governmentality, and the Puerto Rican government’s anticorruption policies that focus on petty corruption, while ignoring the corruption of the powerful; 3) and decolonial approaches to corruption and/or the Puerto Rican Summer of 2019 as forms of decolonial justice.

Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth. Their political system is broken and their politicians are either Incompetent or Corrupt.

[iTradeChips]

Many are speculating that Logan Paul's move to Puerto Rico is not something to do with a boxing match but rather as a way to get out of the taxes he is getting in California. I mean look at the situation in California right now. There are many personalities that have already moved out of the state and big companies too have moved out as well. Those who cannot get out of the state suffer paying high taxes and not seeing any significant changes to the big cities, that makes them frustrated.

In some kind yes. But for good amount of money he will fight anyone, even Mayweather. Or even 2 
For 80 mil I would try to stand up against Mayweather, and I doubt that Logan is in worse condition (since he is pro fighter) than me 

[Ewox]

I think this fight is on, especially for Mayweather; he’s always in for the money. And as for Paul Logan, well maybe this’ll be one of his fights wherein people will remember.

Nah, everybody knows what they are after so I don't think people will waste money on a fixed fight. And as for Mayweather, he's always on an easy target that has a money so basically he's not wasting time for a hard fight anymore, he's just into a fight where he could easily win without a hard days of practice, I suppose.

Logan Paul might have some business in Puerto Rico that we still don't know once they made an official announcement. But maybe he's up to someone instead of Mayweather. Well, whatever, if it's a professional boxer then we already know again who's going to win.

[Twentyonepaylots]

US taxes keeps being bigger by the day so it's no surprise the guy would catch wind of this, he just perhaps wanted to really get away from paying too much taxes and enjoy the most out of his paycheck, since he's a youtuber and AFAIK they will start to be taxed soon enough by the US government. Or OP may be right and he is preparing for yet another big fight with someone. Perhaps Mayweather considering he's only fighting celebrities now.

I think this fight is on, especially for Mayweather; he’s always in for the money. And as for Paul Logan, well maybe this’ll be one of his fights wherein people will remember.

I don't feel like this will be remarkable actually, although we all know both are really famous. Logan's not that cool of a person, and Mayweather is almost exclusively would be in the fight if it's big paychecks at stake. So yeah.

I don't understand what they're talking about. His assets are his assets, wealth isn't taxed in the US, he has already paid income tax, so I don't see why he should continue to pay anything on the 19 million ?

Once he has moved to PR then obviously his income will be taxed according to PR rules. And there however from what I looked at I didn't see anything particularly advantageous, income tax is indeed 33%, corporate tax can be quite high too.

it will happen soon in my opinion cause its a big opportunity for logan paul to gain more  popularity around the Internet wherein against may weather, even though he had no ability to win the fight. Lol. We all knows he's an entertainer so there's no way they will reject this big opportunity, indeed its really a big help to convince people around the world to stay tune in their channel and etc. until the fight happens. More views and subscribers to come for logan and easy money for them especially may weather.. 

[Cling18]

I think it's his personal choice and it isn't related to his future fights or his fight about Mayweather. It's his choice to move back to Puerto Rico because he wants to change his path. He's being buried by high taxes in California and moving to Puerto Rico would help him save more and he could also gain new opportunities there.

[OgNasty]

Logan Paul has stated repeatedly in the last few days that this fight is still on and will be airing on Showtime.  I think they have everything lined up, but are just hoping they can get the all clear from Covid restrictions to have a live crowd there.  I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening, but I don't think the youtuber will mind much so long as he gets his chance against the champ.

[Silberman]

Times have changed, Mayweather thought that he could still attract big crowds by himself, and while that was true in the past this is not the case anymore, and there are too many factors about it, to begin with his opponent, if we can even call it that, is not going to present any kind of meaningful opposition, second we know that Mayweather is no longer on the best shape as his age and lack of training has taken its toll, if he wants a big payday and wants to return to the spotlight then a rematch with Canelo could be the way to do it but I doubt it will happen.

I doubt Mayweather would risk his undefeated record fighting Canelo no matter how much money is dangled in front of him. I’m guessing he’s probably feeling his age and reconsidering even the Logan fight. He was assured enough money to make it worth his while. Maybe he’s not as confident about beating Logan Paul as everyone else is that he will.

I agree, Mayweather has always cared too much about his undefeated record and always handpicked his opponents, his first fight with Canelo at least to me was an obvious attempt to get to him while he was still young and unexperienced and get the win, which he did, it would be interesting to see him fight Canelo on his prime, but as you said it is not going to happen, but if he really wanted to demonstrate he is the best then that will be the perfect way to show it.
