Floyd Mayweather is zeroing in on a date and location to fight Logan Paul — and multiple sources tell us the target is Sunday June 6 in Miami.
We’re told the date is not set in stone — but Floyd’s camp is really pushing for the Sunday date.
So, why not shoot for Saturday night like most major Pay-Per-View boxing events?
We’re told the hope of having a bunch of live fans at the venue for the fight is playing a key role.
One source tells us the Sunday date works better with the intended venue in Miami — a venue that would be able to hold a large crowd, which is very important to Floyd.
Floyd and Logan Paul were originally scheduled to fight on February 20th — but the event was postponed due to “COVID and other things.”
Since then, there have been questions about if the fight was ever going to happen — but we’re told Floyd is 100% in and can’t wait to get it on.
The fight would technically be considered an exhibition — which means it would not count on either fighters’ professional record.
26-year-old Logan is 0-1 record as a pro — but he’s full of confidence … especially after his brother Jake Paul obliterated MMA star Ben Askren.

Plus, the Paul brothers have proven to be legitimate PPV draws — which we’re certain is appealing to Floyd.
44-year-old Mayweather is 50-0 and widely considered one of the greatest boxers of all-time with wins over legends like Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Alvarez and Manny Pacquiao.
And we all remember what he did to Conor McGregor …
