The big variable here, however, is weight. Since the fight is being conducted as an exhibition and the two fighters are distinctly different in size, Logan Paul will be coming into the contest with a full 30 lbs on Floyd Mayweather. This makes things interesting as there is a greater probability than ever than Mayweather could be succeptible to a big shot from Paul that could send him to the canvas.

Paul has looked pretty good fighting against amateurs in his last couple of fights and you really can’t have a greater step up in quality than taking on Mayweather but the fact remains that he does know how to box and he can take a punch so it could get interesting if he is able to actually penetrate Mayweather’s defence early in the fight.
As usual, it could be conditioning that wins it for Mayweather and he may know that his boxing ability will deliver the fight for him via decision - his preferred method of victory - so he might prefer not to try to knock Paul out and merely stick it to him over the eight rounds of the fight.
Right now, the bookmakers have Floyd Mayweather trading at a very slim 1/9 price to win the fight by any method while Logan Paul can be backed around an 8/1 price with the draw sitting at a 20/1 margin. Despite the fight only being six rounds, it’s unlikely that you’ll see a scenrio where Logan Paul is picking up 10//9’s against Mayweather so a potential draw should be a 66/1 shout here.
The method of victory wagering is interesting, however, with Mayweather favoured to win by a KO or TKO and it priced at 8/11 at this stage. A points victory for Mayweather rewards at a 6/4 margin and that might actually be the bet. Logan Paul to win by KO or TKO rewards at a 12/1 margin (what a moment that would be) while a decision victory is price dat 20/1.
Looking at the round betting, you’ll find Mayweather at a 4/1 margin to win in the first or second round while he is 7/1 for round 3. A final round victory for Mayweather would pay out at a 12/1 margin.
