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

[bryant.coleman]

It never came to my mind that Logan Paul will win this match.

Retired boxers are still continuously training because it's already part of their lives. And Floyd has said to be coming out of his retirement because of reasons like this.

There's really a chance that Logan can win through a very lucky throw punch.

There is no guarantee that Floyd Mayweather will win this match. Perhaps he is having a 99% probability, but then we need to remember that 99% is not always equal to 100%. Similar upsets have happened in the past. Let's not forget the fact that Mayweather is no longer in his prime. He is one of the best boxers in the recorded history, but he is almost 44 years of age and there is a small chance that he may commit some mistake on 20th February.

[virasisog]

I never knew that Logan Paul had been doing boxing. This match is just all for the money,  and even without looking at the stats of each boxer this is clearly not a match worth watching. This will not make hype in a boxing scene even if it's Floyd who is already retired. I just hope Floyd will have some beneficiary for his exhibition matches.

Logan Paul has the slimmest chance to win this match. You can't be a pro boxer overnight even if you train your ass out for a month or maybe even a year. He may be at his prime, but Floyd still is a pro boxer who I think continuously trains out of a habit.

In a business perspective, this is excellent for both fighters given that the undefeated fighter and some Youtube Star will garner millions of views from around the world. But in a boxing perspective, maybe this fight would be relatively boring in a way that Mayweather will again, play by the rules and by the points. Nevertheless, I look forward in this fight but I do not expect anything explosive that will happen in the following rounds.

Is anyone even considering the possibility of a win by Logan Paul? Or do you guys think that there is not even a 0.0001% chance of that happening? Floyd Mayweather retired from professional boxing many years ago and he is no longer training regularly. So I would assume that there is a remote chance that Paul may land some of his shots on the right position.... well.. even for me it sounds ridiculous.. If Paul manages to beat Mayweather, it will be the greatest boxing upset of all time.

Nah, Floyd will play this match by the points and just try his best to avoid those punches. He knows this too well that Logan is undeniably larger than him, that is why he will safe in this match.

No, hard no.  This guy has absolutely zero chance to beat floyd.  Zero, I can't believe sports books would even put odds on this fight.  Floyd's skill level combined with his ego and pride would never let this guy even come close to winning.  I would be incredibly surprised if Logan even wins one round let alone the fight.  Should be a ko or tko in this one fairly early unless Floyd's wants to stretch it out and make it a fight

Sorry for this but Pointing "Zero chance" is not fair since They both have power and strategy .

there are some Fight that a Punch landed exactly to the weak spot of the opponent ,or accidentally landed.

So i believe that 99% is not the same to Zero chance.

just my 2 cents mate..

One punch isn't going to knock out floyd, I didn't say he couldn't land a punch.  I just said he can't win.  Boxing is one sport where you can't match up pros versus amateurs ut doesn't work.  Throw me in a game of horse in basketball with Ray Allen and if I go first I have a chance to beat him.  Way different than throwing to guys in a boxing ring.  If you want to not accept 100% then fine but the only way Logan wins is if floyd gets a non contact injury, like blowing out his acl going to sit down on the chair between rounds lol.  If anyone thinks this guy can actually win by outboxing him or throwing a knockout haymaker on floyd, I will argue you know nothing about boxing.  Sorry but thats the truth, this match is silly and shouldn't be a thing.

Well, I do not get why you wouldn't want to make money? I mean I hate Mayweather as much as the next person because of all the things he has done, starting with beating his own wife, that is an evil thing to do and would be moooore than enough to hate someone, but at the end of the day he is a boxer, so dude is double evil for doing something like this and it is unthinkable how he could be forgiven.

But I also do understand why he would want to fight, this is his profession and he is making 10+ million dollars from this fight so I do understand why he would accept this. "He just wants the money from this fight" is totally understandable, what did you expected him to want? To fight for the belt? At his age? Obviously all he cares about is money at this point, he got all the accolades he could from boxing and now using his fame, that is totally acceptable and I would have done the same.

[South Park]

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.

This is not about boxing, the fact that he chose this opponent has made that awfully clear, then what is this about? Money and attention, Floyd strikes as the type of person that cannot be out of the spotlight for long and he wants to be the centre of attention again, and he is seeing all of these old boxers coming back to the ring and he thinks he can do better, and I think he can, but he selects an opponent that will not land a single hit on him thinking this will impress the fans even more when we all know what is happening.

He doesnt care on what fans do look into his fights specially this exhibition ones because it doesnt show everything but rather on pure hype and money making situation.  
No matter what people do look upon him neither great or mostly become a shit fighter which do focuses mainly on making money but still its his gain not ours.
Management do make out those fight arrangement and of course both parties should really agree and the next? Hyping it out to generate attention and awareness
which means the more people do know the fight the high chance on stashing more bucks.

[hulla]

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.

Well, as much as i hate floyd for being a opportunistic capitalist. I'd like to see him beat Jake Paul instead. This two brothers are really annoying, someone has to teach them a lesson.
A good trashtalker fighter could knocked them out to reality. So maybe they could change into Jake instead of Logan.

You shouldn't expect anything slighter from the two siblings (Jake and Logan Paul), they are both Youtuber and the lover of almost the same thing. Besides, they have to do something to promote themselves so their Youtube channel will gain more traffic which is what I think they are doing mate.

Valid.
There is still a chance. But slightest chance won't make a player win especially in this aspect, which is sport. But for sure they will gain from doing so, more likely money purposes. If we will base on their statistics and capabilities, the winner would be obvious in a single glance. Disregarding the bias. In Sports, there are factors which will make an individual to be victorious and that I think is the advantage of Floyd in this match up. So even if it is valid to say that there is a chance for Paul, that chance would be close to zero, making it to not matter at all. Luck I think would help Paul with this thing but as I've said, I guess winning over the other player is not their aim in this mismatch, if I would say, because the common denominator why this match up was made in the first place is popularity.

Very true! They are just banking more on popularity here especially Logan Paul to gain their paycheck. What do you think is the main motivation for this exhibition fight? I only think of Money and nothing else. Logan is no match to Mayweather. And yet, he decided to get a fight with him because he has a lot of followers and the promoters think that they will also get their money share here. What else do you think is the reason why they pushed this fight other than money?

Yup! Even though we all don't want to get biased, we tend to do because the outcome of this would be pretty obvious. Here are my own reason why Floyd will win whatever happens:
1) It was an only an exhibition. We can presume that the whole fight is staged. Just what like happened in Mayweather vs Nasukawa fight (but hoping it wouldn't be too obvious this time).
2) It's all about money. and lastly,
3) Floyd will not definitely let his record get tarnished by an amateur boxer/Youtube vlogger .

Thus, it is safe to say that Paul got zero chance of winning. He can landed punch and make the fight a little but spicy but in the end it doesn't really matter. Floyd will prevail and that's the hard truth.

That slight chance can still Hurt the career of this legendary, So yeah i also don't agree on that No chance at all.
but of course In gambling we must be precise and small chance is not that considerable ,either we believe on our Bet or denied it,this is our call.

Mayweathers ability is really Legendary ,he won't reach that top if not.

This bout is just all for the show and money. I don't think it is worth watching a pro boxer and a youtube vlogger. You cannot even consider Logan as an amateur. I even didn't know that Logan had been involved in boxing aside from his last issue on his vlog about Japan. Both of them are attention seekers. This won't make any hype as much as most people think it will just because Mayweather is here.

If Mayweather wanted a real fight, then he could have agreed to the proposal by Manny Pacquiao for a rematch. But he refused the proposal, and said that he is no longer interested in professional boxing. So for him, he is in this fight only for the money. I don't think that there is anything wrong here. He will get a few tens of millions of USD, for spending a few hours on the boxing ring. Not bad for a retired boxer who is almost 44 years old.

[livingfree]

It never came to my mind that Logan Paul will win this match.

Retired boxers are still continuously training because it's already part of their lives. And Floyd has said to be coming out of his retirement because of reasons like this.

There's really a chance that Logan can win through a very lucky throw punch.

There is no guarantee that Floyd Mayweather will win this match. Perhaps he is having a 99% probability, but then we need to remember that 99% is not always equal to 100%. Similar upsets have happened in the past. Let's not forget the fact that Mayweather is no longer in his prime. He is one of the best boxers in the recorded history, but he is almost 44 years of age and there is a small chance that he may commit some mistake on 20th February.

Yes, I know that 1% can turn the tides surprisingly but that's still a huge probability that's favoring to Floyd. Experience, career and his mind setting during the match is a big factor. A professional boxer versus a content creator, that's why I don't see Floyd losing on this match. 44 is still a good age IMO.

Nah, Floyd will play this match by the points and just try his best to avoid those punches. He knows this too well that Logan is undeniably larger than him, that is why he will safe in this match.

Avoiding is one of his styles inside the ring. It's annoying but that's an effective strategy. I saw matches by just looking at it basing their height and having a quick thought of who will win the match but, it turned out to be the opposite result.

I understand your point believe me because Mayweather is really born to be a champion ,yeah maybe he is being bullied because of His style In ring but we must admit How strong when he deliver a punches and His speed really outstanding against others , But Boxers have their weakness and also in sports sometimes Luck turns the game into another side.
In Professional conversation Indeed 100% Floyd cannot be defeat by Logan (i'm not saying some who believes in me are not professional ) but what i'm pointing is Reality of Life ,that No one cannot be knocked if Luck and weakness Bind together to favor the opponent .

Obviously majority of bettor is for Floyd ,but like those who will risk for logan(if there;s any) even if this called Punch in the Moon yet chances are there.

But Nice exchanging of thoughts mate ,really enjoyed the topic.

this would be my last quote for your post as we have already enough exchanged of views in this matter.

Have a great one and happy holidays.

[NotATether]

I just saw this thread. So Logan Paul is getting into fights with pro boxers now? I think I can guess how this is going to end.

Seriously, a Youtuber with no professional boxing experience hopes to win or draw against someone like Mayweather? Even though he's retired... really? I just don't see how he can do it. This almost sounds like comedy

[FlightyPouch]

He will not do it, i don't remember any rematches that he agree to play with, and Mayweather will not let his guard down, he will not let other people win the game because they might do like what he did to them, if he will make a rematch with Manny expect that it will create a tons of money again, but the thing is he will not be the winner this time and I am sure of it, and if ever I will not bet in this game, I rather bet in not so well known boxer rather than a game with Floyd.

Mayweather will really hold into that record until he dies. I think it would be a miracle if Mayweather fights again Sen. Manny Pacquiao, if that is the case I find this rematch to be impossible. Maybe another rematch to McGregor is a match he would approve, because it would be another millions in his pocket. He's amazing to achieve an unbeatable run until he hang his gloves, we can't argue about that but accepting these matches might've hit some of the  boxers that wanted to face him.
