⏫ This late-night TV throwback is inspiring cinematic TikTokers

⏬ Controversial YouTuber gets in the ring with all-star Floyd Mayweather
Logan Paul went head-to-head wit Mayweather in the boxing ring during Sunday’s Fight Night down in Florida. The fight was considered lackluster by audiences with no knockout. In the end, Paul and Mayweather made millions and we didn’t even get a winner. SMH.
