Mayweather is an undefeated champion and considered as one of the world’s greats with a 50-0 record, multiple titles in five weight classes, and an Olympic bronze medal.
After defeating Conor McGregor in 2017, a fight that Forbes estimated generated more than $550 million in revenue, Mayweather announced his retirement from the professional boxing world.
Paul is best known for his controversial YouTube video where he filmed a dead body in a Japanese forest. He twice fought vlogger and rapper Olajide "KSI" Olatunji with the first bout ending in a draw and a second with KSI's victory over Paul.
In 2019, Mayweather announced that he was coming out of retirement in 2020, and with Logan, this will be the second exhibition fight for Mayweather since retiring. 'Money' made easy work of Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in Tokyo on New Year's Eve 2018.
The two have traded shots on social media in recent times, with reports of a possible match.
The price for the exhibition match is $24.95 for all boxing fans out there who will purchase before the buys reach one million, and will jump to $39.99 after a million virtual tickets sold, according to the Fanmio website.
Also, by December 29th, the price will increase to $59.99 on December 29th, then $69.99 from February 11th.
A venue for the special exhibition has yet to be revealed, though further details are to be released in due course, according to the Fanmio site.
