The referee did not have to make a decision as the fight went the distance and in a way was definitely a victory for Logan Paul. <\/p>\n<p><strong>CBS Sports HQ<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aONT7atzqfw?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The first two rounds did not have a lot of action as Logan Paul went after Mayweather with big punches and did not find anyone home. Mayweather either needed a couple of rounds to gauge Paul\u2019s speed and style or he was playing with the crowd in order to give them their money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n<p>Mayweather started turning on the heat from the third round as he started walking down Paul who started getting tired as the fight progressed. Money Mayweather did land a few punishing shots to the body and a couple of left hooks to the head but Logan Paul ate them and did not get wobbled. <\/p>\n<h2>Another Big Payday For Mayweather <\/h2>\n<p>Mayweather did his best to try and KO his opponent but Paul had enough training to clinch and evade a lot of the shots. Towards the end, Paul started to taunt Mayweather as he realized that the fight was going to go the distance and that in itself was a victory for the YouTuber.<\/p>\n<p>Mayweather would have definitely won the fight if the judges were involved but will be a tad disappointed that he was unable to stop Logan Paul. However, Mayweather isn\u2019t going to let that bother him as he <strong>is set to collect close to $100 million for this exhibition fight<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Mayweather showered Logan Paul with praise after the fight and did not rule out an exhibition fight with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/jake-paul-gets-flooded-with-offers-from-mma-fighters\/\">Jake Paul<\/a>, younger brother to Logan Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hardcore boxing fans may not have tuned in to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul exhibition fight on Sunday, June 6 but millions of new boxing fans bought the Showtime pay-per view while millions of other fans illegally streamed the fight.
