Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul are going to box on Pay-Per-View this Sunday, June 6th. It will be an exhibition match, so rules will be unconventional; we knew that going in, but the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation just released the actual rules and it leaves some questions.
Here they are (as reported by dazn.com)
· NO WINNER AND NO JUDGES
· KNOCKOUTS ALLOWED
· THREE-MINUTE ROUNDS
· 12 OZ. GLOVES, NO HEADGEAR
· WEIGHT LIMITS
- Paul will have to step into the ring at a maximum of 190 pounds, or face a $100,000 fine for every pound he goes over.
- Mayweather is expected to tip the scales at 160 lbs on Sunday.
The BIG ONE is probably the first one: NO WINNER AND NO JUDGES. Are they going to call their own fouls too and check the ball at the top of the key?
This yields the obvious questions, especially for the betting aspects:
So what happens if the is “no winner?”
What is the point of fighting if there is no winner?
What am I paying for?
I honestly don’t have the answer to these. Personally, I am not buying the fight, when I can just watch whatever happens on social media after the fact. All I know is that regardless of the outcome, or no outcome, these guys are getting paid out so is there really a “loser?”
