      by

      FLOYD MAYWEATHER and Logan Paul have agreed to a last minute rule change ahead of tomorrow night’s exhibition bout.The pair will take to the ring at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, with Mayweather set to pocket £72million and Paul raking in up to £10m.

      They were initially set to fight in 12-ounce gloves.
      But according to Marc Raimondi, they will now do battle in 10-ounce gloves instead – making a knockout more likely.
      The other quirky rules, however, remain the same.
      There will be no judges scoring the contest.
      And therefore no scorecards read out at the end.
      Knockouts ARE allowed, however, during the eight-round bout.
      Stoppages will be at the referee’s discretion.
      A fan vote has even been mooted to determine the winner, although this wouldn’t be official.

      Logan’s brother Jake, who KO’d an out of shape Ben Askren in April, told SunSport: “I think it’s great, I think it brings more eyeballs to the sport of boxing. People forget that boxing is entertainment.
      “All sports are designed for entertainment even dating back to the Roman Empire, they had Olympics sports for entertainment.
      “This is entertaining and I think that Floyd will again severely underestimate my brother, and there’s a size advantage, my brother’s fast and has knockout power.
      “I’m not saying he’s going to beat Floyd, I’m not going to say he’s going to lose against Floyd.
      “But I do think we’re going to see a good fight.”

      Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul a farce and YouTuber must be careful not wind Money up too much or he’ll get badly hurt

      by

      WE can sneer and ridicule all we like but taking part in another fake fight is expected to add £72million to Floyd Mayweather Jr’s £335m fortune.They don’t call him Money Mayweather for nothing. The last time he laced the gloves four years ago he earned £200m.

      Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul is little more than a farce… but a lucrative farce at thatCredit: Rex
      That’s when he made a fool of Conor McGregor, the Martial Arts hardman — holding him up before stopping him in the tenth round in front of the highest pay-per-view audience in history.
      This time Mayweather, the unbeaten five-weight former world champion, is back in the ring facing Logan Paul in an eight-round exhibition bout at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
      I’m not ashamed to admit I’d never heard of Mr Paul. Fortunately, I have teenage grandchildren and, after mocking my ignorance, they gave me the lowdown on loud-mouth Logan.
      He is a 26-year-old You Tuber from Ohio with a following of 22 million subscribers and is said to be one of the most recognised social media stars on the planet.

      Apparently, there is no end to Paul’s talents. His CV describes him as an actor, director, expert rapper, entrepreneur, podcast host and, unbelievably, professional boxer.
      American cable network Showtime has signed him on a long contract.
      To cash-in on his popularity and to make a PPV financial killing, they had no difficulty persuading Mayweather to come out of retirement to swoop up another mountain of cash and to indulge Paul’s fantasy that he can fight.
      Sky decided to boost their juvenile market and get in on the act — they have the gall to charge £16.95 to see this freak show in Britain.

      🥊 MAYWEATHER VS LOGAN PAUL: Where will the fight take place, what TV channel and live stream will it be on?

      There’s a special £7,500 package deal on offer for those who want to be close to this nonsense in the stadium.
      So what are they are likely to get for such a bargain? Somehow I don’t think Paul will trouble Mayweather more than Canelo Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao or Oscar de la Hoya did.
      It may beggar belief but Paul has had just ONE previous so-called pro contest — a points defeat against British rapper KSI three years ago.
      Mayweather can’t hide his delight at being involved in what he laughingly calls a legalised bank robbery.
      Former world cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew made a serious and very valid point when he told the BBC: “Someone is going to get hurt doing this and it’s going to come back on boxing.
      Jake Paul entered elite company
      “Boxing is a professionally dangerous, brutal business so nobody should mess about thinking it’s show business.”
      If Paul, who really does fancy himself, makes the stupid mistake of trying to prove to Mayweather he’s for real, Floyd will show no mercy and is likely to knock him out.
      Let’s hope it remains what it’s supposed to be — a bit of fun.               
      As P.T Barnum, America’s 19th Century super-showman said: “The bigger the humbug the better people like it.”
      That remark certainly fits the Mayweather-Paul farce as snugly as a 10oz boxing glove.

      Logan Paul reveals Tyson Fury offered to fight him after Floyd Mayweather… but admits he’s too scared to face Gypsy King

      by

      LOGAN PAUL cannot wait to take on Floyd Mayweather – but he’s running scared of Tyson Fury.The YouTube star takes on the legendary American in Miami on Sunday night and even though Mayweather boasts an incredible 50-0 record, Paul reckons he’s got a fighting chance.

      He may be the only person dreaming of sending Mayweather tumbling to the first defeat of his legendary career but when heavyweight king Fury came calling recently, there was only one answer.
      The Gypsy King wanted to set up Jake Paul, Logan’s brother, with Tommy Fury and tried to fix up a scrap himself.
      Logan doesn’t fancy that though and said: “I am so ready for Floyd but one boxer I don’t want to fight is Tyson Fury.
      “He pitched me in my DM’s and said my brother can fight Tommy Fury and I can fight him.
      “But I was like, no I’ll pass.”
      Massive pay-per-view figures are expected for the eight round tussle, especially considering Jake Paul insists his last fight in April against Ben Askren brought in a reported 1.5 million buys, thereby generating around $75 million.

      🥊 MAYWEATHER VS LOGAN PAUL: Where will the fight take place, what TV channel and live stream will it be on?
      The media scrum here in Miami showed that while many think this is nothing more than a money making joke, whenever Mayweather is in town, massive interest always follows.
      Logan, who will weigh around 190lbs with Mayweather likely to tip the scales at around 160 lbs, added: “This whole thing is just so crazy, we have already defied the odds.
      “When my manager asked if I wanted to fight Floyd Mayweather I just laughed.
      “But I will never laugh at him again. I can’t believe all this but I am determined to put on a show.
      “They can say it’s an exhibition but I am ready to fight. I really do believe that people will be surprised at my skills.
      “I am that dude, the guy who does something no-one else thinks they can do. That’s been me my whole life, I am here to achieve the impossible. Sunday night will be an extension of that.

      “I don’t give a f***. He hasn’t knocked anyone out in a decade and I can take a shot. “
      Paul, 26, took on fellow YouTuber KSI in 2018 which reportedly generated 1.3 million pay per view buys worldwide, before a rematch in 2019 in Los Angeles.
      Mayweather, meanwhile, last appeared in an officially sanctioned boxing bout in 2017 when he defeated UFC superstar Conor McGregor despite hanging up his gloves two years earlier.
      His most recent ring appearance was a first-round demolition of Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa on New Year’s Eve 2018 .
      This event is being labelled as an exhibition so judges won’t be ringside at the Hard Rock Stadium. That means there will be no winner unless someone is knocked out or stopped.
      Mayweather said: ”I may have retired from boxing but I never retired from entertaining, having fun and making money.”

      by

      Defeat in his UFC 257 showdown with Poirier, however, pumped the brakes on the rivals sharing the ring again.
      But boxing legend Mayweather insists he’s still willing to trade heavy leather with The Notorious.
      When asked if he’s open fighting the Irishman again, Mayweather told Showtime Sports: “Absolutely. He easy.”
      He added: “The beef is all these guys look up to me, steal my blueprint and then get to hating on me.”
      Mayweather’s sentiment was echoed by Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe.
      Ellerbe said of the UFC’s poster boy: “He’s been talking a lot of that s***.

      “Conor, if you’re listening, you can get that too. You can get that too.
      When asked if ‘Floyd would be down for a rematch’, Ellerbe replied: “Most definitely.
      “Because that right there is very personal.
      “I think after everything where they left the ring and they hugged and all that.
      “But things are a little different now. Things are a little different.”
      McGregor, the biggest star in MMA history, entered the boxing world in August 2017 for a multi-million-pound showdown with Money.

      The Irishman suffered a tenth-round TKO defeat to the undefeated Mayweather, who announced his third retirement from the sport after notching his 50th professional victory.
      Defeat to the former pound-for-pound king has long irked McGregor, who is adamant he’d get the better of the man formerly known as Pretty Boy second time around.
      During an impromptu Twitter Q&A, McGregor said of preparations for a potential rematch: “I’d have people press forward in sparring.
      “Especially in the later rounds. A fresh body pressing forward for the last 4 rounds.”
      After getting wind of Mike Tyson’s praising of his performance last March, he tweeted: “Thank you, Mike.
      “And just know that for the inevitable rematch, with the knowledge I now hold of Floyd’s style, plus under the tutelage of my old school boxing coach, I will crack the puzzle, and I will beat Floyd.
      “I promise my life on it.”
      Mayweather, 44, is currently gearing up for an eight-round exhibition bout against YouTuber Logan Paul, whom he’ll face in Miami on Monday morning.
      McGregor, meanwhile, is preparing for a crucial trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier, who he’ll rematch on July 10 in the main event of UFC 264 in Las Vegas.

      Anthony Joshua could give Dillian Whyte long-awaited rematch if Oleksandr Usyk deal not reached, reveals Eddie Hearn

      ANTHONY JOSHUA’s next fight could end being against Dillian Whyte if a deal for him to face Oleksandr Usyk can’t be reached.Negotiations over a showdown with the former undisputed cruiserweight king have been ongoing ever since the collapse of AJ’s blockbuster showdown with Tyson Fury.

      A deal for AJ’s WBO mandatory, however, has yet to be reached.
      And the delay has prompted Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, to entertain the prospect of vacating the belt and taking another fight – including a rematch with Whyte.
      The Matchroom Boxing chief told iFL TV: “Usyk is our preferred opponent, we want to hold onto the belts.
      “But there is a little bit of tiredness over being told who to fight and what split they have got to get and the inability to have flexibility in AJ’s schedule.
      “But at the same time, he hasn’t worked this hard to get the belts just to give them up.
      “We have made Usyk what we feel is a very fair offer we don’t have a deal yet but again it is our intention to make that fight but if we can’t we will make other plans.”

      He added: “I still feel the Dillian Whyte fight is one that is bound to happen in time and if we didn’t have so many mandatories I think that would have happened before.
      “Andy Ruiz has been on for no3, Luis Ortiz is another one that could be made in the US.
      “There are a few options. But our absolute preference is to defend against Usyk and maintain those belts.”
      Joshua vs Usyk is dangerously close to going to a purse bid, a scenario Hearn is eager to avoid.
      He said: “We’ll either make a deal or we’ll vacate.
      Eddie Hearn doesn’t want Joshua’s mandatory against Usyk to go to a purse bidCredit: Matchroom Boxing

      “I mean, we won’t be going to purse bids or anything like that, and mucking around.
      “By the way, I don’t blame the WBO. They were actually quite generous to us with our time. I mean, let’s be honest – it dragged on a lot, didn’t it?
      “So, I have to take my hat off to [WBO president] Paco Valcarcel, because he did put himself, his neck on the line, to allow that fight, when Usyk had a strong case for it not to be allowed.
      “But when the time come, [Valcarcel] had to do what he had to do. So, I’m not annoyed with the WBO.
      “I’m just annoyed that it seems that basically AJ is told who he’s got to fight every single time.
      “But that’s the problem of having three or four belts. That’s just how it is.”

      During his open workout on Wednesday, the social media star said: “This whole thing is surreal. Everything about it.
      “I told my manager and we kind of had an inside joke that until I get in the ring with him, I didn’t think this fight was happening.
      “But I think it’s safe to say that I can believe it now. I think it’s happening. It’s fight week.
