The exhibition match between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather was quite the spectacle. With neither combatant scoring a KO, the fight went the distance and no winner was declared. However, while many felt like Floyd would have won if judges were allowed to score the fight, due to the exhibition rules, the fight ended without anyone getting their arm raised, leading some to speculate what would have happened in a real bout and if Paul was even KO\u2019d at one point. Now, Mayweather has addressed those concerns. At the WBC Convention, he shed some new light into the match, his preparation and if he was even taking it seriously. Floyd Mayweather says he\u2019d KO Logan Paul in a real fight According to talkSPORT\u2019s Michael Benson, Mayweather revealed that his fight with Logan Paul and while it was \u201cfun\u201d it wasn\u2019t a true boxing match. \u201cI did an exhibition with the YouTuber Logan Paul. We had fun. People have gotta know, there\u2019s a difference between a real fight and an exhibition,\u201d Mayweather said, downplaying the spectacle. \u2018Money\u2019 then claimed that all he did to prepare was \u201cwork out from time to time,\u201d implying that he hardly trained in the lead-up to bout. To make things even crazier, he boasted that if he tried, it would have been over before the second round. Floyd Mayweather: &#8220;&#8221;I did an exhibition with the YouTuber Logan Paul. We had fun. People have gotta know, there&#8217;s a difference between a real fight and an exhibition. All I did was work out from time to time.

As Logan Paul readies for a rumored fight against Mike Tyson, one has to wonder if Floyd\u2019s comments could really damage his stock leading into it. If Mayweather was holding back as much as he says he was, then how would Logan handle a knockout machine like Iron Mike? We\u2019ll have to see what the future holds, but this certainly adds a new controversy to Logan Paul\u2019s boxing career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floyd Mayweather exposes the truth about Logan Paul boxing match: \u2018It wasn\u2019t real\u2019 Instagram\/floydmayweatherBoxing legend Floyd Mayweather has revealed new details about his fight with Logan Paul that may cast doubt on the YouTuber\u2019s real ability in the ring.
