Mayweather, Paul Weights Photos Gallery - The weights are in, for Sunday's eight round exhibition clash between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and social media star Logan “The Maverick” Paul. The contest will headline a Showtime Pay-Per-View event from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Miami, Florida.
Floyd Mayweather ended his perfect pro career having won every fight that mattered, though there remains an audience convinced he will fall in one that won’t count. The majority of betting action has been placed on longshot underdog Logan Paul to conquer the Hall of Fame former five-division champion in their high-profile exhibition. Mayweather (50-0, 27KOs) remains the odds-on favorite to prevail although punters like the chances of Paul (0-1) to pull off the upset this Sunday, live on Showtime Pay-Per-View from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
HOLLYWOOD, Florida – Floyd Mayweather didn’t seem the least bit concerned Saturday afternoon about a size disadvantage against Logan Paul. The 6-feet-3 Paul weighed in at 189½ pounds at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for their eight-round exhibition, 34½ pounds more than the 5-feet-8 Mayweather, who weighed 155 pounds. Paul could not weigh more than 190 pounds Saturday, whereas Mayweather could’ve weighed whatever he wanted.

MIAMI BEACH, Florida – Logan Paul laughed. How else was he supposed to react when his manager, Jeff Levin, asked him for the first time eight months ago about fighting Floyd Mayweather? Paul, after all, lost his only professional fight to another YouTube star, essentially has no boxing background and walks around more than 50 pounds heavier than Mayweather.
MIAMI BEACH, Florida – The most Floyd Mayweather remembers an opponent out-weighing him by on fight night was approximately 20 pounds. The undefeated legend still won that bout very easily in June 2005, when he dominated the late Arturo Gatti for six rounds until their junior welterweight title fight mercifully was stopped. Mayweather estimated Thursday that Gatti weighed 160 pounds when they stepped into the ring at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, whereas Mayweather weighed 140.
MIAMI BEACH, Florida – Logan Paul fully understands that he’ll take quite a steep step up in competition Sunday night. His younger brother, however, doesn’t anticipate his upcoming Showtime Pay-Per-View bout being anywhere near as difficult. There is a world of difference, of course, between battling one of the best boxers in this sport’s storied history, even in an exhibition, and facing a fading former UFC champion who doesn’t have a boxing background.
Welterweight Vlad Panin says he was “surprised” by Logan Paul in sparring and does not believe that Floyd Mayweather Jr will knock him out. Mayweather takes on Paul in an eight-round exhibition at the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, with the YouTuber fighting for the first time since losing to fellow social media sensation, KSI in November 2019.
WBC, IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev has no problem with Floyd Mayweather, 44-year-old, returning to the ring for a boxing match with 26-year-old Youtube star Logan Paul.
MIAMI BEACH, Florida – Floyd Mayweather simply smiled Thursday when he was asked if beating Logan Paul on Sunday night will lead to facing his younger brother in another exhibition. That’s the logical consensus now that Jake Paul has signed a contract to fight exclusively on Showtime Pay-Per-View, the platform with which Mayweather has become ridiculously rich since February 2013. The 44-year-old Mayweather didn’t actually address whether he would face Jake Paul, assuming they win their upcoming bouts.
