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

[Yamifoud]

Now that the fight is over, I'm wondering if how much is the revenue of the PPV because according to some article, Mayweather gets 50% of the revenue.

How much did Floyd Mayweather earn from Logan Paul fight?
As with most boxing matches the fighters' prize money consists of an initial fee plus whatever is made from the subsequent pay-per-view TV sales. Mayweather's base salary for this match is said to be as much as $10 million and 50 % pay-per-view shares. Meanwhile, Paul will make $250,000 while earning 10% in pay-per-view revenue.

He made already $10 million in that boring fight, but doesn he earn more because of the success in PPV?

Well, you need to know it's called exhibition for a reason .

trust me , if there this is a 'real fight' logan paul will surely get knocked out by Floyd.

Well, I know and that's the same reason why I hate exhibition matches. If they want to fight, make it professional. They're clearly doing it for the money (no need to remind me of that, because I know it from the very beginning) and I'm just mad because people are supporting it and hyping it to sell the fight.

If it's a real fight, I doubt Logan would be easily knocked out. I mean he's bigger, younger, and can clinch all the time to avoid hard blows. That's the least he can do by fighting an undefeated pro boxer.

I guess the promoter did not make a lot of money from PPV buys, that's according to this latest article.

Mayweather And Logan Paul Earn Huge Purses Despite Disappointing PPV Buys

According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer, the advanced PPV numbers were “horrible” despite the PPV price being considerably cheaper than Mayweather’s previous fights.

Good for them they are still paid, but bad for the promoter, and for sure they will think twice about promoting an exhibition fight as people do not support it that much anymore.

This fight earned Booos which isnt really surprising.Its obvious that Floyd is just making too easy to let it last until longer rounds.

and it didnt end up on a knockdown.

No Judges and No decision but its clear that gap is too wide.

That's the brand of Mayweather, a boring fight. He had a lot of boring fights during his pro, he should at least give an entertaining one in exhibition fights. Probably this is the complete opposite of the Mayweather vs Mcgregor fight, I'm wondering who would Mayweather fight next.

The advanced PPV sales might have been slow but on the day of the fight the hype was immense. Showtime, the network distributing the fight, was not able to keep up with demand and we saw that people who watched on the app were having problems all night. Most people order fights on the same day of the event so I am sure they did very good business and Showtime will be better prepared for the Jake Paul vs. Woodley fight.

It looks like their exhibition match is a big joke this year, obviously they are just playing around and I don’t see the real intensity on the ring, now we hated Mayweather that much again because many lose their bet expecting him to be the winner, such a big waste of time and money its good that I didn’t bet.

Logan Paul earned 20 million for this circus show and everyone who payed to watch this just wasted time, but story is not over because Logan Paul wants a rematch.
This needs to be separate sport and it should not be called boxing.

now, he is realising that this will be a very good way to earn million bucks beating other professional boxers in terms of payout. as people are still paying this kind of fight, they will arrange more exhibition fights that may possibly get the interest of their fans.
however, going back to this exhibition fight, this is really disappointing, given mayweather's record in boxing. so it is understandable about the negative comments thrown to him. don't know if they have prior arrangements regarding what to do on this fight. but man, this is awful performance of him. logan paul, a nonprof boxer survived up until 8 rounds... this really doesn't deserve to be listed in sportsbooks even if they have the reading of winner.

Well at $20million wouldn't you want a rematch too? 😅

This was a terrible fight.  I hope floyd hangs up the gloves but with these kinds of payouts I think more and more fighters will sign up to these circus matches.  People paid 10s of thousands of dollars to watch this ringside.  Smh

Many MMA fighters like Nganou and Costas are now questioning what they are doing wrong why a Youtuber is getting $20 million for an exhibition match and real fighters like them are getting a fraction of that amount

Francis Nganou tweeted

The UFC man wrote: 'It's crazy to think that Logan Paul (0-1) just made $20M on a boxing exhibition.

'WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG?' he added, before inserting a questioning face emoji.

well with millions of followers like Paul he deserves that paycheck.

I don't find any intensity on the game and seems I waste my minutes watching them  thats really terrible fight to be honest. Don't know if people who paid thousands dollar in the ring side enjoy the match since they are like throwing there money for non sense thing.

Anyways for that huge amount in the pot I expect that there's a rematch or either his brother will take a revenge for another exhibitation match.

As if people would still watch the second time around after we have witness no how boring the first was? thats an easy 20 million for giving out some lame
punches on Floyd.

This isnt really boxing as this fight involves hugging or clinching and i was bit surprised that Floyd is on Attack mode? You can barely see him like that.

Also, this scorecard looks believable?

[STT]

Someone I was watching the fight with said it was boring but I thought it was entertaining and I think they lack some experience in how quick these can be over vs the extremes of 15 rounds though this was half that.   Main problem I have is they lent on the show side of it far more then many would have wanted, it was almost a deliberate draw type scenario by arrangement which makes it a bit dubious in terms of betting.

You cant really see nor feel the intensity or excitement of a boxing match even though its exhibition but you are already anticipating that the fight would end up as it should be.They are just playing and dancing around and that makes millions and i read up above about rematch which is no sense.
Earning money through that should be enough.

[harizen]

Not sure but I think there are sportsbooks that have a betting rule that in an event of a draw on that match, it won't be considered and bets will be returned. The rules were created because of the terms of that match including a no-winner so more of it will be decided by KO's or something along those lines.

Not sure though if that was true. I've just read in a comment section on a social media platform wherein there's a guy mocking those bettors who put bet on Mayweather's Knockout.

Is anyone here does put an actual bet on this match for real? Want to share your betting experience?

There is no betting experience as the sites i usually wage did not have a line on the event and i did not search extensively because the odds will be really bad and you never know what happens in an exhibition bout as there is always a chance to a draw and that is what happened in this exhibition bout as well. I am yet to see the complete fight even though i saw some of the clips.

[famososMuertos]

well nothing to add, a few minutes watching an episode of Rocky in its 2021 version.
As for who won, I saw each round win ...

...That is mere entertainment, a video plus one more "content" for the timeline of that youtuber, he is the big winner.

[Joca97]

This match was such a waste of time and money. Its like they rigged the match to go all 8 rounds. I knew something was fishy from the first day they announce this match.the exibition part made it even more stupid. Mayweather just boxed for fun and not going 100%

[acroman08]

I tried watching it but I can't even bring myself to finish the first round. this kind of match should be banned(I know it is impossible but I felt like saying it). it is clearly a way for "boxers" to get money not because of their skill but because of their fame. I feel bad(not really) for the people who had to watch that fight in the stadium. on the bright side, at least there are gamblers who made money from this abomination of a fight.
