About
Logan Paul / Floyd Mayweather Kiss refers to jokes about a pre-match staredown between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather ahead of their boxing match. At the staredown, Mayweather got very close to Paul's face, and when Paul attempted to back off, Mayweather stepped up again. This led to jokes and photoshops that the two were close to kissing.
