One of the biggest events of the year is nearly here. A PPV showdown people have been talking for weeks about is finally set to commence when undefeated, former fifive-division champion Floyd Mayweather steps into the boxing ring with social media star Logan Paul for an exhibition match on Showtime PPV. The two will meet in the center of the ring live from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, in a match simply termed "bragging rights".
The Florida commission announced on Wednesday that the contest will feature 8 three-minute rounds. Neither fighter will wear headgear and there will be no judges or official winner read. Knockouts will be legal and up to the referee's discretion. Both fighters will wear 10-ounce gloves.
"It's one thing to sell a fight, and people can say what they want, but one thing no one is going to do, is disrespect me," Mayweather said after the incident.
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) ended his professional career with a 10th-round stoppage of UFC star Conor McGregor in August 2017. The 44-year-old later hopped a plane to Japan to destroy kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in one round on New Year's Eve in 2018.
Paul (0-1) returns to the sweet science for the first time since losing via split-decision to fellow social media personality KSI in November. Many are doubting Paul's chance to succeed. Who doesn't have that mindset? The 26-year-old from Ohio.
"Floyd came out of retirement, just to get re-retired," Paul said. "I'm about to beat the greatest fighter of all time."
