The mind’s casuals matter because they’re 99% of the population.

Judging by Paul's showing last night and his previous fights, he would definitely get lit up by amateur boxers in and around his weight division, let alone journeyman who can take a real punch and are paid to spar top prospects and contenders

That's for promoters to figure out how to attract new fans. Turning casuals into followers of the sport, maybe if they made the fights we want that would be a start.
Similar things were said after Conor went 10 rounds with Floyd. And that was a sanctioned fight
It was a bigger blow to the superhuman aura of UFC fighters than of boxers. Logan Paul went the distance and took Floyd's punches better than Connor McGregor.
