[Boxing] Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - June 6

[FinneysTrueVision]

After the success of the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. exhibition fight, Floyd Mayweather has decided to follow in their footsteps and will be fighting Logan Paul in an exhibition fight. Logan did not look good in his fights against KSi so this should be an easy fight for Floyd. The one advantage the Youtuber has is his size, he is a natural cruiserweight. The fight will be on Sunday June 6th at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Of course, this is more on money exhibition fight here.  Did they disclose where the proceeds will go? At least make this exhibition fight a worthwhile one for others.

Money. Money. Money. Not surprising at all.

As per Floyd Mayweather itself, he will be only taking an exhibition match and will not fight again in a professional and titled match.

Unlike in Tyson's exhibition match that serves a purpose, this Mayweather vs Paul fight is more of a street trash talk that wants to settle everything in an official match. More hype = more money.

[fortunecrypto]

Unless it's for a cause I will not support this match, Floyd just wants to take advantage of this mix-match to make money again, he is spending a lot of fo money and he needs a source of money to sustain his luxurious life.

This is going to be a one-sided match something similar to the one he had with a Japanese guy, even if Paul has a weight advantage, no way he can beat or even match Mayweather's skill.

Floyd Mayweather has decided to follow in their footsteps and will be fighting Logan Paul in an exhibition fight.

Mayweather is not following those legends' footsteps about having an exhibition match.

After retirement, Mayweather already involved in an exhibition match last 2018 against a Japanese MMA fighter.

He earned $9 million for the two-minute bout so he will just stick to exhibition match in his retirement period. Earning big money with little effort.

You may not share with my views but this doesn't seem interesting at all. I am a boxing fan, albeit not a very avid one, and I always appreciate fair and competitive matches, which is very much unlike this one.

To a certain extent, this is a disgrace to boxing itself, I mean serious boxing. Why don't promoters provide the fans a match worth waiting and watching and betting?

Why did they have to dignify the challenge of a Youtuber who had just defeated someone who is not also a boxer himself? You won't automatically become an elite boxer by merely defeating an old and short basketball player.

Mayweather is having a good life now, imagine making millions of dollars on exhibition matches with low rated opponents or against opponents who cannot hurt him like what Pacquiao did, so many boxers big name in boxing cannot even make $5 million on their big night.
I doubt if Floyd will come back to active boxing to fight top caliber fighters when he is already making big bucks the easy way.

I don't even know who the heck is Logan Paul, I think this fight is one-sided again just like what happened to the Japanese guy he fought a few years ago. There's nothing to see in this fight, really? I think if he just fights with Manny Pacquiao, he would have made lots of money than this if he really wanted to get a lot of it.

[gagux123]

Well, in my opinion it is clear that this fight will be for money and I think it will be a fight for exhibition

I also say that Mayweather is having a great life now, and he will only attend this event for exhibition

[Kemarit]

Yes, just saw this tweet a while ago, not surprised though, Floyd have said multiple times that if he ever will comeback, it will be on exhibition match. So easy money for him, Logan is also hype in the social media so win win situation for both of them.

And I think Floyd will continue to do this as long as he can, not damage on him physically, and then the money is to great to refused.

There are no more exhibition and comedy stunts in MMA than real fight. Mayweather is also a actor more than a fighter but at least he have some professional fighting background. I guess it's okay that they are doing this to raise funds but it's making it more like WWE than real fight.

With Floyd Mayweather, I do not think that there will be any charities, you know that his moniker is "Money". The thing about this exhibition fight is it will be a highlight of young guns versus the old guns. To be honest, this fight will be boring because I know how Floyd plays.

[acroman08]

what a joke and to be honest an insult to every boxer who diligently trying their best to be at the top so they can fight world-class champion boxers. I don't care if this match is for a cause or something like that(which I doubt it will) they should pick a boxer that is worth to be fought by Mayweather(I am not a huge fan of Mayweather but he is still a world-class and a great boxer).

The one advantage the Youtuber has is his size, he is a natural cruiserweight.

his advantage means nothing. he is still an amateur and lacks experience.

Tyson -Jones success owed it because of the cause, this MAYWEATHER -Paul fight is not going to be entertaining knowing that Paul has a limited boxing skill, nothing to be expected on this one, but to give our money to Floyd who likes to make a cash cow on these amateurs, he should get back and fight Pacquiao or anyone between Spence or Crawford.

If Pacquaio versus Mayweather happens again, I think that it will be the same as the last time. Let's give Logan some slack in this fight because miracles happen and they happen at unexpected turn of events. Bookies will be the only winners of this fight to be honest.

[Ziskinberg]

Here we go again, Floyld trying to make easy money again, maybe he is really done proving to people and still believe that he is the best boxer in the world. This would generate money for him but not as big as what he could potentially make if he will come back from retirement and give Manny Pacquioa a rematch.

[LogitechMouse]

As expected, this is for the sake of money and entertainment (maybe) and possible pride too.

Put McGregor in a boxing ring against Mayweather and for sure McGregor will lose. Now put Mayweather in the octagon against him and we know the results already. Logan Paul isn't really a boxer unlike Mayweather which is undefeated and him in the boxing ring again, we know who will be the victorious here already. I just hope that they can get enough money for the both of them though. Not interested .

It was actually Jake Paul who had been taunting Mayweather for this match for a long time now. Mayweather might not have gave him attention but he kept on challenging him on twitter for a brawl. This surely is a hype being created for the viewership. Mayweather came out of retirement and Jake Paul is an entertainer. Jake Pual haven't won his way through any competition to be fight worthy to Mayweather.

[Astvile]

The one advantage the Youtuber has is his size, he is a natural cruiserweight. There are no details on what the weight limit will be for this fight.

IMO, size will mean nothing when you are faced with a high caliber boxer like Mayweather. 6 inch in height difference may sound so big but the skill set of each player is like roof to floor in difference. Logan Paul will not stand a chance against Mayweather, even Pacquaio had a hard time against Mayweather and lose thinking that Pacquaio already is a world class boxer not like Logan Paul who literally have 1 match and lose in his name in boxing.

Hmm... thanks for that information, I think Mayweather sees the opportunity to make easy money and probably a decent amount.

So this fight is undefeated vs undefeated, Jake Paul here had an impressive 100% KO rate as he won 2 fight by KO.

However, this is Mayweather, he knows how to fight, he will just play along and beat this guy,
honestly, I don't see this fight special.
