These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games. 3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that bitch. @loganpaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.

Well, it’s difficult to imagine why Mayweather agreed to this fight, Logan Paul isn’t a boxer despite having an advantage in height and weight.
It would be an easy fight for Mayweather even at the age of 43 as he’s one of the all-time greats and Paul is just a guy on YouTube.
Good going bhiyaaa💥💥
