Logan Paul says his WWE gig is much harder than fighting Floyd Mayweather was. Paul competed in an exhibition match against the former boxing champ back in 2021. He went the distance against Mayweather in a bout that did not have a winner declared.
Meanwhile, Paul has found quite a bit of success in WWE where he is currently part of The Vision. He appeared on ESPN First Take and was asked which of the two was harder for him. He also spoke about what he’s learned from The Vision’s Wise Man Paul Heyman. You can see the highlights below:
Logan Paul on Which Is Harder Between WWE & Fighting Mayweather:
“Yeah, between fighting Floyd Mayweather and doing WWE. You know, it’s a hard question just because of how good I am at most everything. And also how humble I am. And that’s not just me saying that, That’s just what everyone says. But I would definitely have to say WWE is way harder than fighting Floyd Mayweather. I’ve said this before, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done by a mile.”
“Boxing is is obviously difficult, Floyd Mayweather is very good. But wrestling involves a 360 degree skillset where you have to work every part of your mind and body that I just have not experienced before in a craft.”
On What He’s Learned From Paul Heyman:
“I think a better question is what haven’t I learned from Paul Heyman? That guy is a wealth of knowledge. I spend every second I can with him backstage when we’re not wrestling just learning the craft. He’s taught me a bunch. I can get into like granular wrestling terms, or I can keep it high-level. And the one thing that he’s definitely taught me is that with him by my side, I have someone on the executive team who can speak for me so I don’t have to make stupid decisions backstage where I would lose my job. Like attacking CM Punk because he pisses me off.
“Instead of doing that, I can just go to Paul Heyman, right? And he can talk to the executives and handle it professionally. So he keeps me in check and now that I have a unit, I just don’t see how we’re going to be stopped at all.”
