Former NFL All-Pro WR Chad Johnson will be fighting on the undercard for the Floyd Mayweather-Logan Paul exhibition fight on June 6 in Miami, however, he will not be fighting former NFL bad boy Pacman Jones. According to reports, Chad flat out said no to the prospect of fighting Pacman.

“Per the source, Johnson — who has agreed to be on the card — flatly refused to fight Jones.

Jones could end up on the card, but fighting someone other than Johnson. Unless Johnson has a change of heart. Otherwise, both former NFL players would end up fighting separate opponents in the Mayweather-Paul undercard.”

Pacman Jones is not a guy you want to get into a fight with, the guy has plenty of experience fighting outside the ring.

“Everything in life I’m good at outside of golf,” Johnson said on the podcast. “June 6, ‘Sweet Feet Johnson’ is going to go in there and do what I do best.”

Hopefully Chad will match up with an opponent far less menacing than Pacman.
