Do people realise that there were two betting markets in this fight? Mayweather by KO/TKO/DQ and Paul the same? That means that every single person who bet on this fight lost. And this totalled multi-millions of pounds. The market changed around one week before the fight, and all bets on the fight going the distance were voided. NOBODY WON! Reevaluate your thoughts on this "fight" Absolute joke. Fortunately, I saw this coming, and never bet on this. Never trust an exhibition.

I guess this destroys the theory that Mayweather intentionally held Paul up to win a bet. -
No. Mayweather held Paul up to make sure it goes the distance so no member of the public won a bet. The bets that were placed, the money won by the bookies would have been divided between bookies, promoters, boxers, etc. It was well planned, but if you read the signs, it was quite clear what was going to happen.Comment

There is no need to overthink this lol. Paul is naturally 40-50 pounds heavier than Floyd while being a very good athlete. He was an all state HS wrestler and in great shape. Paul was too big, strong and held too much for Floyd to do any real damage. Floyd isn't a big puncher as it is and he damn sure isn't going to be hurting someone that big who is a real athlete. Only chance he had to drop Paul was to land some body shots when Paul tired a bit.
Paul would obviously get destroyed by any somewhat decent boxer at CW or even LHW, but Floyd is certainly not that.Comment

Anyone that bet on a fight that says "No declared winner" unless there is a KO needs their heads checked. I purposely went to betting sites and just laughed when i saw the odds, Paul was 37-1 to stop Mayweather. And we all know that wasn't going to happen even though he was a lot bigger than TBE.Comment

Floyd's coach predicted a KO within five rounds, I wonder if he put his money where his mouth is.Comment

Your points are valid. But it is a fact, that nobody won betting on this fight, and that multi-millions of pounds were spent. That isn't fair. There has to be a winning market for every bet.
Logan is a big, strong, tough dude, but there was no market on this fight going the distance. There was up until around one week before the fight, but all of those bets placed were voided, so nobody won betting on this fight, and that can't just be accepted. I didn't bet on this as I saw it coming, but as a regular better, I can accept betting and losing, but not betting and losing on something that has potentially no winning market. It reeks of fixed.Comment
