This year, Floyd Mayweather will battle Logan Paul.
The Mayweather vs Logan Paul Live Stream exhibition match has been rescheduled for June 6th at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The case will be televised on Showtime, reuniting Floyd Mayweather and the broadcast where the American engaged Conor McGregor in the "Money Battle" back in 2017. Mayweather Promotions broke the headlines.
The exhibition bout was originally scheduled for February 20th, 2021, with both superstars confirming the game, which was sponsored by user engagement website Fanmio. The war, however, was delayed because the arrangements had not been finalized.
The boxing match will be able to be shown in front of a full-capacity audience since it is being held in Florida. Last Saturday, UFC 261 took place in Florida in front of 15,000 supporters. Hard Rock Stadium can accommodate over 65,000 people.
Mayweather will be limited to weighing 160 pounds or less, while Paul will be limited to weighing no more than 190 pounds.
Mayweather, a retired boxer vs. YouTuber, last competed in 2017 against MMA superstar Conor McGregor in what turned out to be one of the best PPV fights in boxing history. The former five-weight boxing world champion captured the fight by TKO in Round 10 and finished his professional career unbeaten in 50 fights.
Logan Paul, 25, last battled in November 2019 against fellow YouTube sensation KSI. In his first competitive boxing match, he was defeated by decision. 'The Maverick' is the older brother of Jake Paul, a YouTuber who recently battled and knocked out MMA star Ben Askren in the first round. Paul's lone professional fight sparked a celebrity-boxing craze that has exploded in recent years, especially with his younger brother, who has gone 3-0 in his professional career.
Paul, who has 22 million YouTube viewers, has been very outspoken in the past, taunting Mayweather as the two traded insults on social media.
The fight is expected to generate huge PPV numbers when Mayweather takes on another boxing match against anyone from beyond the conventional boxing environment. As you can see, Mayweather and Paul are no newcomers to this sort of case.
