Logan Paul told "the gig is up" after YouTube star’s fight with Floyd Mayweather

Logan Paul has been told he can call himself a boxer after going the distance with ring legend Floyd Mayweather.

Paul went all eight rounds against former five-weight world champion Mayweather last June in an exhibition fight. It was Paul's third fight in the ring, having previously only competed in white-collar and professional bouts against fellow YouTuber KSI.

The 27-year-old has alleged he is still owed money from Mayweather for the clash almost a year later and insists that he hasn't been paid in full. But given Paul has stepped in the ring against one of the greatest boxers of all time, UFC analyst Chael Sonnen thinks he is now part of the boxing community.
