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

[FlightyPouch]

Mayweather vs McGregor was perhaps one of the biggest fights so far in this century. You can compare it with an exhibition match. Mayweather earned around $280 million during the fight against Mcgregor and this was perhaps the largest paycheck of all time for a single match. Ideally you should be comparing with the revenues from KSI vs. Logan Paul, which was much lower. 

It was the first really big cross over between MMA and Boxing and people were really excited. In the end it was a bit boring that they didn't switch up and to the Cage in a second match. It should be more fair. Same with now Logan Paul calling out Conor McGregor to box with him. If you really have balls and want to proof something you should take him on his real profession not a boxing ring. I am afraid Mayweather is just going to crush Logan Paul.

I wouldn't use the word "crush", we should just use straight up destroy. Floyd Mayweather would destroy Logan Paul, no doubt about it. But since we are talking about an exhibition match, surely Floyd would stretch this game to maybe 2 rounds or 3 rounds but I don't think that would change the outcome of this bout. I wonder if some online casinos would include this match.

But definitely it will not be as big as what he earned during the Mcgregor fight, it might millions but I'm sure it will not hit over $100 million in this fight. Logan Paul is popular as a youtuber, but I'm sure not all his subscribers or whatsoever will watch the fight, some would even just watch a free live streaming.

the biggest exhibition match of the century? yes, but the biggest fight of the century? no. as far as I know at the time of their match McGregor was an amateur in the professional world of boxing. everybody(at least most people I know) knew that he didn't stand a chance against Mayweather. not being biased but I think Pacquiao vs Mayweather was the biggest fight of the century. both boxers have an incredible(maybe the best) boxing record and fight history amongst other boxers on their era which what makes their fight the biggest in the century(but also disappointing).

Agree, the McGregor and Mayweather fight is purely just for a show and money. Switching from one sport to another is difficult for any athletes, you cannot make a boxer out of an MMA player over night or even in a month. Mayweather's exhibition matches will not make too much hype and excitement as it was before he retired boxing.

We will see on this upcoming fight, it might not create as big as the hype before, but we are still talking of millions here and how good Mayweather in making money by fooling people, sorry to say that, I just feel that if we continue to support his fight, we might see more of this in the future as it's easier to do than a real competition.

People wants to see a Mayweather vs Pacquiao even just for an exhibition, I think it's possible, isn't it?

And if Mayweather loss, he is still undefeated since this is just an exhibition.

The match is one-sided but if there's no doubt that some site would gonna make some room for this match maybe just to promote their sites or services. Nevertheless, this match is just fun to watch and after all, they already signed the contract the fight will happen next year. To be honest, I want to see Floyd fight again even though it's a exhibition match.

But I guess Mayweather is afraid to get a loss in this fight, base on the article that I read (posted below) Mayweather was trained hard and risking his position or did not take his exhibition fight against Logan Paul. However, we will expect that Mayweather will win this fight but who knows if Logan Paul will luckily beat Mayweather that would be a big jackpot on him.

But let see what will happen, this fight will bring excitement even though just for money and entertainment.

The article only said that but Mayweather knows his opponent is just an amateur, he can play with him because Mayweather is not a kind of a fighter who would knock out an opponent early, maybe this will end until the last round but for sure Mayweather would win.

Articles are just hyping the fight, the writer could be paid to promote a fight, or the writer just trying to caught the attention of the people to read his article.

At the end of the game it will resulted as scripted and the winner of course was Mayweather, he would be announce as a winner via unanimous decision. This might be a total waste of time and money because first, the players or boxers doesn't fit according to the source Logan was an amateur and Mayweather were as what we know a player full of confidence. This article were only aiming to get a profit from readers in my own observation.

As a big fan of boxing, we already know that this is not going to be a good fight to see, it's not the usual one, but the fact that we are talking it here, it only says one thing, they are popular and Mayweather is making this bout more popular.

An exhibition fight is a no bearing fight, they can make a script and no one will complain, and as a promoter they have invested in this fight because they know what people think, and they believe they will make money from this fight, huge money.

Exactly, Logan Paul vs KSI might earn millions of dollars but probably way below what Mayweather earned during the Conor Mcgregor fight, however, millions is still money and Mayweather has a lot of followers too, so probably it will be a big payday for both but not gonna hit higher that what Mayweather previously earn against Mcgregor.

People are getting used to exhibition fight, so excitement won't be the same anymore.

and also people are Enough for mayweather , Lets make this bout as an example as the boxing news does not making noise about this.

Even in my Country comparing when the Fight against Manny Pacquiao  happens and asking for a rematch ?Floyd continues to be in social media but now?

I haven't heard or watch a single News about this ,even in my facebook account though i have many Boxing community friends and we also update each other about which good fight to bet in.

What i'm thinking is would this Fight can cover the talent fee of Floyd? and also of logan.

floyd wont agree to have this fight if he knows that they will not cover even his talent fee here. so yeah, definitely, they already looked those numbers and come up with some approximates here. remember, both of these fighters want to have a good payday here the reason why they are using the social media to hype up this event. we all know that mayweather will win this easily and logan paul just want to get a piece of mayweather so he can increase his subscribers...lol

[South Park]

Mayweather is not "coming back to boxing" at all. This is an exhibition match and not a real fight, it is totally a useless fight as well and not a real one, the fights you see on the streets are more realistic than this fight.

What will happen here is that Mayweather will try to get some more money, which won't be as high as connor fight obviously, but it will be free money to make, and go out there with a bit of training and just lt Logan try to punch him as much as he can, to get as much money as he can, and in the end he will just punch him out, very easily. Just like he did to connor.

At least connor was a real fighter, he wasn't a boxer so he lost quite easily, but he was a fighter in UFC, look at Logan though, dude is not a fighter at all, no respectful place would rank him anywhere, he only finds fights because he is a celebrity.

I agree, during the last years boxing exhibitions have become more common and popular and I get it, who does not like to see the legends of old coming back for one last fight, however many of the exhibitions that I have seen included two legendary fighters while this one only includes Floyd, and while his star power is enough to make this a success I have doubts about the quality of the spectacle the fight is going to offer as Floyd is a defensive fighter and his opponent is an amateur.

[mezzaluna]

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. There are no details on what the weight limit will be for this fight.

This would clearly be a blow-out win by Mayweather. Floyd will really mess up this kid since all Logan is doing is for publicity stunts. We should just wait for the match to happen but it would really be clearly won by Mayweather. The difference is experience is a large gap and Mayweather surely faced better fighters and he also faced much bigger opponents.

Is this still a surprising thing?

Even just hearing out those names directly then even closing my eyes will tell you on whose the clear winner.It isn't just right on trying to box out a real boxer and a YouTube sensation.

Even this guy had some serious bodybuild but doesn't mean that he would boxed out Mayweather just because for that reason? Ill be seeing Logans ass to be whopped with this but of
 course the management or the organization wont really be allowing that.

All of the money obviously.!

Boxing is business and its normal for them to make such exhibition fights to make more.

We can expect that there would be more fights like this in the future if fighters and management do see that they can make tons of money
out of these fights even though it would really be a on crossed sport or just purely being built in the hype.

Exhibition fights are made by potentially known fighters and only recently they started to make exhibition fights because they know that they can make big amount of money and Logan Paul proved that he could make millions with his debut fight while professional boxers who make their debut make around $1k  and Floyd Mayweather knows to conduct business.

Punches are real but pretty sure that those wouldnt really pass 50% of total power. What you think?

You cannot expect a technical fighter to throw punches in full power but i expect Logan Paul to throw with his full power as a knockout against Floyd Mayweather could raise his valuation which means he could make another fight that could raise millions.

You cannot compare with the Mayweather and Conor McGregor fight as it was the biggest fight in terms of revenue in history and you cannot replicate the same business.

~
All of us see that coming, all about money and additional promotion for his name.

With his age and his achievements in terms of career it can consider that he don't need anything or no reason to fight along the way.
But money is much bigger than anything, with $$ in front of you, it's simply calling you to continue doing things you love the most
just keep collecting while fans still paying for you.

Floyd Mayweather created a media personality and that is when he started to make money and before that he was not able to make that kind of money and he is smart enough to promote his media personality and anyone purchasing his fights wants to see him knocked out cold but he knows very well how to manage a win with his boring fighting style and still make millions .

Well if they were looking for the biggest douchebag vs douchebag fight on the planet, this very well might be the best fight they could come up with.  As much as I can't stand the "youtube star" Logan Paul, I think I dislike the racist, wife beating, royal pos of shit Floyd Mayweather even less.  We all know Mayweather is going to win this fight, but maybe we might just get lucky and Logan lands a punch that Floyd can't recover from...one can only dream.

[snip]
But if Paul will get a lucky shot and make Mayweather sleep then this is a huge break for him and he will get more fame in this boxing scene.

If Paul gets a lucky shot on Mayweather, it could do harm to his body but I still expect Mayweather to regain his resilience and win the fight cause ever since he fought Big Show at the Wrestle Mania xxiv i never underestimate Mayweather resilience.
I hope Paul is ready for the beating of his life.

Lucky shot? If it happen then that wont really be enough on taking down mayweather, boxers stamina and toughness isnt something that can be taken down by a blow into dude
who doesnt even taken a step on a boxing ring.

Paul should really be ready for his life but same as other said where they wont really be beating him up because that would really be resulting into lots of criticisms instead of praise.

Even this is just an exhibition then there would be still lots of talks that these fights do happen for the sake of making money depending on the hype it do generated.

[TopTort777]

I think Paul wont even land a clear punch. I wonder what is Floyds tactics, win as quick as possible, or entertain spectatora for few rounds.
Damn I just dont understand Floyd, he has so much fights, titles, belts and money. And it is still not enough for him. If this was his passion for boxing, he would have chosen a better opponent.

I should really hit the gym so much that I would be buff if I will be facing Mayweather. He may be retired but let's not forget that he is a professional boxer who holds one of the best records of a boxer to ever retire. Just imagine what an undefeated professional could do to an amateur boxer with just 2 matches under his gloves. Professional boxers even have a hard time hitting a solid hit to Mayweather. If Logan Paul can land a hit to Floyd, we could really say that he prepared for his fight, I can't say that it is as lucky shot.

[Ziskinberg]

If Logan Paul can land a hit to Floyd, we could really say that he prepared for his fight, I can't say that it is as lucky shot.

99% accurate it would not, lol.. and we don't know his Logan Paul really has a power punch that could knock out a fighter with good training and Mayweather have face a lot of boxers where he always got KO but he was able to survive, so this is easy for him even if Logan Paul will trained so hard.

I agree this fight is going to be lopsided.  I heard a lot of peoe talking about this one going the distance. Lol.  If I had to guess Money will body shot this guy so much he won't be able move by the 5th round.  Not worth the ppv fee on this one, pass.

I don't think many people will be willing to pay for the PPV here, unless, they are hardcore fans of these 2.
Let us just wait the full video after fight here. There will be free videos afterwards. lol
Just want to see how Mayweather will end this fight. Logan on the other hand, will bank on his YT followers.

Yes there are free streaming in this fight, that's what I'm looking, it's like watching the fight but not supporting it because they won't make money from us. However, I still believe that the vast majority who will watch this fight will pay for the PPV.

Just want to see how Mayweather will end this fight.

He'll win without a doubt, but not gonna be a KO.

Logan on the other hand, will bank on his YT followers.

And another millions of followers to come.

We already know this is not even a close fight. This fight is just unfair considering the experience and the record that Floyd Mayweather has. Looking at the matches Logan fought, which is the same individual, is not even comparable to Floyd. The jump of the level of difficulty of the opponent of this Youtube content creator is just amazing. Hope that I am that confident.
