This may be one of the biggest fights of the year – even if there is no winner. Tonight, Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr., one of the best pound-for-pound boxer who’s ever lived, is up against Logan Paul, an 0-1 YouTube video blogger.
The Mayweather-Paul exhibition fight is scheduled tonight, June 6, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Pay-per-view coverage starts at 8 PM EST, with Mayweather and Paul expected to enter the ring at around 10 p.m. EST, depending on the lengths of the previous bouts.
