How Mayweather v. Paul Boxing Event Came Together
The recent boxing exhibition between retired boxer Floyd Mayweather and YouTube and social media star Logan Paul became one of 2021's most successful pay-per-views, but it took some work for Mayweather to agree to the fight, according to the South Florida attorney and CEO involved.
The boxing exhibition took place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL, in June, thanks to a deal brokered between pay-per-view provider Fanmio, cable TV network Showtime, Mayweather Promotions and the two boxers.
Attorney Yosef Shwedel, a partner at GS2Law, a boutique law firm based in New York and Miami, represented Miami Beach-based Fanmio. Shwedel practices law both in Miami and in Mexico. GS2Law opened up its Miami office during the height of the pandemic in August 2020.
