Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather: Showtime server crashes before match, fans say 'pay us back'

Many users shared pictures on Twitter showing how a black screen with a message interrupted the streaming of Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather match

The hype for the much-awaited face-off between the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather and renowned YouTuber Logan Paul is so real that the server of Showtime crashed ahead of their match. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the match since the clash was announced in late 2020.

The eight-round exhibition match between Mayweather and Paul is all set to take place on Sunday, June 6, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The fight will be aired on Showtime PPV. However, it seems a lot of fans experienced difficulty in watching the showdown premiere as it showed them the “offline” message with a black screen. Speaking of the fight, Logan had earlier said, “I’m younger, I’m longer, I’m stronger, I’m more powerful than him and I want it more." On the other hand, Mayweather is a 15-time champion and will be looking forward to adding one more win to his long list of titles.
