Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Logan Paul Fight Predictions
44-year-old legendary American boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr., who finished his career in 2017, in the status of undefeated world champion in 5 weight categories, will hold an exhibition fight with his compatriot, famous youtuber and showman, Paul Logan, on June 6, at Hard Rock Stadium (Miami). The regulations provide for a 3-round format, while Mayweather gives a serious handicap in weight – the opponent must meet 86.2 kg, and Floyd will box as a middleweight (up to 72.5 kg).
Performing in the pro ring since 1996, "Handsome" (Floyd's nickname) defeated elite fighters of the 5 divisions, among which were such superstars as Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Ricky Hatton, Shane Mosley, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, and others. BoxRec put Mayweather-Jr. on the 2nd place in the ranking of the best boxers in the world in history, regardless of the weight category.
Floyd's high-profile wins and titles helped popularize the middle divisions, which previously could not compete with the heavyweights. Fights with the participation of "Handsome" broke box office records, and the amount of fees made him the highest-paid athlete in the world (he held this status until 2018).
In the debut fight of this format (25.08.2018), Logan met with the famous British video blogger, gamer and rapper, Olajide Olatunji ("KSI"), ending the fight in a draw (bloggers earned $40 million –fees that are rarely obtained by the current elite boxers participating in megafights). The stunning financial success was the catalyst for the ongoing showdown, and after a "convincing" 2-way thrash, the parties announced a rematch. This time, the" showdown " in the ring brought victory to KSI, by a split decision (09.11.2019).
Paul Logan is 26 years old (a native of Westlake, Ohio). He received the status of a professional boxer in 2018. He fights in the left-hand stand, fighting weight 90.72 kg (cruiserweight), height 188 cm. The nickname "Maverick".
No matter how indifferent to the exorbitant fees Mayweather was presented (one of the nicknames, "Money," did not appear by chance), he will not put on the line the name that he earned through many years of performances at the highest level. The maximum that Floyd could agree to, signing up for such a "fight", is the performance of the role of a "supporting actor", allowing the newly minted professional some liberties, knowing that a heavy reckoning will not follow. No wonder the format of the match was limited to 3 rounds – the prolonged "game of cat and mouse" will reveal all the artificiality of the conceived scenario.
The arguments of Paul's fans that he is almost 20 years younger and almost 20 kg heavier than his opponent can only be considered as dry statistics, which in this case has nothing to do with the real criteria for assessing the ratio of forces – they are simply incomparable.
With a high degree of probability, Mayweather will not limit the show to an early victory and will not seek to cause serious damage to the health of a talented video blogger and actor.

The upcoming fight can only be viewed from the angle of the show, where the financial component, not the sports component, comes to the fore. It is obvious that the new project requires a continuation (box office receipts are breaking all records) and the next upset (the victory of Jake Paul over Ben Askren) will simply "bury" the further interest of the public (for decency, it is necessary to maintain at least some status quo).
