Watch video from the Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul bout.
Floyd Mayweather had yet another exhibition bout, taking on a YouTuber in Logan Paul. There was a big size and weight disadvantage, but it was 50-0 vs 0-1, so many expected one outcome. In the end, the 44-year-old Mayweather just played with his food in the early rounds, while Paul refused to engage and just clinched to try and survive in the latter rounds.
Paul’s coach wasn’t shy about their goal, telling him that surviving would be a victory in their eyes. It went the full eight rounds, in a largely ugly contest.
Watch highlights from the bout below, along with a snippet from our play-by-play of the bout:
Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul – Round 8
Logan Paul just smiling. Saying something to Floyd. Left hook tags Mayweather. Left hook lands for Mayweather. Paul continues to try and rough up Floyd. Keeps closing the distance and not landing much consequential and occasionally getting countered. One minute to go. Mayweather misses on the counter but lands a hook. Logan doing some taunting at the end. They’re gonna be rich. 79-73 Floyd but who cares? There’s no winner.
