Specifically, the June 6 matchup of Floyd Mayweather Jr and Logan Paul is being sold as a “super exhibition.” Upon further review, that makes a lot of sense. It comes as no surprise that Mayweather is a massive Boxing odds favorite against Paul. Mayweather never lost a professional fight. Also, “Money” has some experience with exhibition fights. In 2017 he faced Connor McGregor of the UFC. Mayweather scored a 10th round technical knockout. But the real win was the payout. Mayweather was guaranteed $100 million. Yet the fight was such a draw he pocketed $280.

Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Logan Paul SBG Odds Overview
Why would Floyd Mayweather Jr come out of retirement to fight an exhibition match? And why would anyone pay to watch it? First, Mayweather rates with Canelo Alvarez as the biggest name in boxing. Even though “Money” is technically “retired.” The gambling community well knows his undefeated offshore betting record. Further, a lot of gamblers believe that Mayweather is “free money.” It is true that the price on Mayweather is through the roof. But nobody sees him going down to a YouTube TV star.
And then there is the reason why this fight is taking place at all. That aforementioned exhibition match between Mayweather and McGregor generated the second highest pay-per-view buy in history. It was not a world championship fight, but it outdrew all such bouts. So, purists may scoff at the Mayweather vs. Paul fight as a freak show. But fans and gamblers will be down for all of it.
Does Logan Paul Have a Puncher’s Chance?
Logan Paul is a world-class entrepreneur and camera hound. What is ironic is that he is not even the best boxer in his family. Jake Paul holds that distinction with a larger body of work. Overall, Logan Paul has two career fights. Both were against KSI. He ended up with a draw and a split decision loss to KSI in those fights. When you compare the paper-thin resume of Paul up against the world championship Hall of Fame resume of Mayweather, it’s embarrassing. Floyd has shown the ability to dance around the ring to avoid opponents. If he tries that with Mayweather, he will eventually pay the price later. Accordingly, that is what ended up as Connor McGregor’s fate. Mayweather is age 44. Compared to Paul at age 26.
Fashion that nobody is taking this fight seriously except the promoters. And with the hundreds of millions of dollars expected in revenue, they should be serious. On the whole, Paul has the least amount of boxing experience of any Mayweather opponent ever.
It’s All About the Money
No boxing “purist” has any right to be upset with this Boxing odds matchup. It’s all about exploding public demand. Fans and gamblers will pay to watch and bet on Floyd Mayweather. In turn, they’d rather bet Mayweather freak show fights than many of the “legitimate” world championship fights. More emphatically, this “super exhibition” is all about money. And more money will flow to bet this fight than be pocketed.
