Boxing fans took to social media in their droves to post a series of hilarious memes after watching Logan Paul go the distance with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather on Sunday night.

While Paul was celebrating in the aftermath of the fight, some fans were underwhelmed by the lack of action after purchasing the pay-per-view showdown.

Although fight fans got to see the entire eight rounds, many believe the pair ‘just hugged’ throughout, with Mayweather later stating that Paul’s wrestling background made it difficult for him to get his punches in.
