Floyd Mayweather Jr. appears to be the overwhelming fan favorite in Sunday's exhibition match with YouTuber Logan Paul.

A map created by Sportsinsider.com based on geotagged Twitter data from the last month - over 120,000 tweets - shows 42 states are rooting for Mayweather, compared to just eight that are backing Paul.

Mayweather is 50-0 in his pro career while Paul is 0-1, having lost to fellow YouTuber KSI in 2019.
