Sunday night, 50-0 Floyd Mayweather faced off against Jake Paul’s brother, Logan Paul, in an eight-round exhibition on Showtime PPV. The fight took place at Hard Rock Stadium down in Miami Florida and attracted a full stadium and huge PPV numbers. With Floyd Mayweather set to make $10 Million plus 50% of all PPV revenue and Logan Paul set to make 250K plus 10% of PPV revenue, this fight seemed more as an entertainment venue than an actual fight. And that is exactly what occurred during the eight-round exhibition, merely an entertainment bout between one of the best boxers to ever live and young YouTube sensation turned fighter.

With Jake Paul standing ring-side, Logan Paul came out aggressive and swinging in the first couple of rounds. As expected, however, he was not able to land anything meaningful on Floyd, who is known for his defensive wizardry. It appeared early that Floyd was going to allow Paul to hang around and tire himself out the first couple of rounds, and then take advantage of that and go after him later in the fight. This, however, did not happen and Floyd never put Logan Paul away.

After a series of rounds where Paul was unable to land anything on Floyd (connecting on just 13% of total punches and jabs thrown), the fight ended without a knockdown or any crucial blows at all. As expected, the fight turned out to be an entertaining fight leaving the fans wanting more. After the fight, Floyd when asked about his future was not willing to make any decisions or give away any information. After all he is a businessman. On the other hand Paul was asked the same question about his future. He jokingly asked for a rematch between him and Floyd. So let’s see what happens next for both fighters.
