Nobody won betting on Mayweather vs Paul. Well... except...

[Nash out]

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

No way. He would have known fine well what was going to happen. What people say, and what people really think, and what they really know, don't always match up.

[KTFOKING]

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.

I mean we saw Floyd land some clean shots and Paul just held right after. He was coached and trained well. Being an all state wrestler is a damn good accomplishment and that means he could have competed in a D1 college if he chose to. Paul would clinch the hell out of Floyd and used that wrestling background perfectly.

I'm sure a slight minority won and the rest lost. No question about that. But I just feel like people throw out Floyd as being TBE or the greatest but act like he is the same version that fought Canelo or is some sort of big puncher. He's just not that. If Floyd took boxing serious still and trained how he did when he fought actual boxers? Then MAYBE he has a chance to hurt guys like Paul and would be a lot sharper, but that's not what he is at this point. Give him a fight against a real boxer where he knows there is a threat of him getting hurt or losing? Then he would actually train like a dog and try to win. But now he's just a small old former great fighter that occasionally hits the gym.

nobody won betting on the fight. There was no market on the fight going the distance. That's what I'm against. That's why I am skeptical. Nobody won. 0 People won betting on this fight. That can't stand. it's boxing, there has to be a winning market.

Nobody won... except for Floyd.

Finally, someone who gets it. I don't work in boxing, or in betting, but I know the betting market as a better of 20 years, I know boxing as a fan of 30 years, and I know the entertainment industry as I have worked in it for fifteen years and it's shady as F***

logan fell into him and yeah if manlet mayweahter wasnt there he could have fell from exhaustion plus that punch.

What does Floyd Mayweather gain by not knocking Logan Paul out?

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.

What does Floyd Mayweather gain by not knocking Logan Paul out?

They both gained. As did many others. it was not an official fight. If the fact that not a single person won by betting on this fight does not set alarm bells off for you, then I don't know what else to say.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Again, what did Mayweather gain by not knocking out Logan Paul?

There’s no answer.

The only potential answer out there was a bet.

I had heard people say that he held Paul up because he bet on the fight to go the distance.

But I’m quoting your words and research:

”not a single person won by betting on this fight.”

So that answer is out, apparently.

I hope you give me an actual answer instead of saying I should be feeling paranoid for a reason I can’t figure out.

You are not understanding the bet. No member of the public won, but the betting companies, promoters, and boxers were in on it and they all shared the pie. That's why in the week of the fight, all bets of the fight going the distance were voided. This is a fact.
