Utter, utter farce. Fair play to them both for conning the public out of money though. Whoever paid for this shite deserves to be conned.

For it to be an exchange, surely Canelo needs to respond? Or maybe he's responded and I missed it?
Canelo has been very dismissive of those boys and warned that this nonsense should stop before someone gets killed. He's unlikely to engage and rightly so. Personally though it is a bit of a shame.
I wish one of them convinces themselves that they can get in with Canelo or GGG even. I'd 100% watch that brutal decimation
Everyone will fall for this again when Logan Paul fights Mike Tyson.
God what a farce this was. Embarrassing.
No one can convince me that had any positive effect on boxing or the image of it.
100% with you on that. I also hoped that common sense would prevail and that folks would ignore the fight - wishful thinking on my part
Isn’t this just like the football match where celebrities play with/against retired players? Think it’s called Soccer Aid? Good fun to watch but only idiots would think the result should be taken seriously.
Be nice if some money went to charity, mind you….

We live in times when kids donate money to millionaires for sitting at home and playing Fortnite.
Mayweather was never going to hurt him was he? You realise how much worse it would have been for boxing if Mayweather seriously hurt the gimp?
Fair point.
How so?
There would be a serious enquiry into how the moderating bodies in boxing allowed this to happen.
Question; Canelo and GGG, who is better? I don't watch too much boxing but saw their two fights.
Just looking at the records you would say Canelo there but I swear GGG seemed to have been robbed?
Gennady was the better fighter over both fights and I had him winning both, but if they fought now I would fear that Canelo would win quite comfortably for whatever reasons, age, drugs, judges, etc.
It's an exhibition fight, it is what it is.
I think exactly the same. I swear that first fight felt completely fixed.
Yeah but surely there's some regulation still for insurance at the minimum? I doubt me and Canelo can argue on Twitter and suddenly be in a sanctioned boxing exhibition
I don't think he'd go in to seriously hurt him in an exhibition. I'd imagine people would of expected a bit more though. From what I've read literally nothing happened. More fool people for paying for it I suppose.
Mayweather is the master of making money out of daft shit though. I reckon he'll do something like this again and people would pay for it! He'll fight the other brother next with the build up based around the theft of the hat.
These fights are as fake as WWF, the script was to go the full rounds and don’t hurt Logan . How people pay for this rubbish is beyond me. Greed wins

Only one way to find out...
Looks exhausted to me.
Looks like Paul put up a better show than McGregor
To be fair, if he worked the body in moments like that he may have had some success. Paul, not Boris I mean.
You think it’d look good for boxing if the best fighter of his generation seriously hurt a youtuber just to make some extra cash?
Right. just threw some racial slurs his way. I'll wait patiently for my 20 million dollar exhibition. I didnt
Let me get this straight: Mayweather dominated the entire match, connected a few decent punches and won on points. Logan "managed" to "survive" all rounds, which is a victory to him.
So neither Mayweather nor Logan really lost, and they both earned a feckton of money? Yeah, I can understand why people are pissed
There were no judges, so no "points" and no winner or loser. Put me in the same boat as the "why the feck would anyone pay for this" lot.
Well, it would make boxing seem like a professional sport instead of a scripted WWE fight.
It was always an exhibition to be fair, however the two actors, Sky Sports, and other outlets who stood to gain from this did their best to try and make it seem more serious that it was
Looked knocked out to me.
Was anyone under the illusion this was going to be a genuine professional bout?
Likewise.
I don't get the out roar tbh. It's brought more eyes to the sport. Fair play to them for making the money, I would wager that most fighters would love to fight one of the Pauls.
Isn't Jake Paul vs Askren in the top 10 most bought fights ever?
I dont get people mocking anyone for paying to watch this when the same people will turn round and pay more to watch Joshua fighting blown up light heavyweights and no hopers over and over.
Its boxing most people know what they are going to get

As someone who doesn't watch boxing regularly, I just find the idea of a sporting event where it's obvious that the whole thing is staged(no one actually trying to win) to be utterly pointless. On top of this: aren't both Logan and Mayweather proven cnuts? Well, both cnuts are laughing all the way to the bank now.
I can't believe people genuinely watched the fight. This thing was setup it was never going to be a proper fight its just about making money and keeping logan Paul relevant.
That's a joke right? Everyone Joshua fights is a seasoned pro with extensive amateur pedigree. Skilled fighters fighting the best.
Not some YouTube kid who cant box against an old man who is there just to take it the 8 rounds for the exhibition that it is. To make it worse it was horribly boring.
I did not and would not pay to watch it, but Logan Paul has a massive following and if they want to shell out their hard earned, thats up to them.
People can watch whatever they want, it's their money. Spend it on One Direction, Transformers, Logan v Mayweather... Whatever.
I would personally not like to fund these cnuts but that's just me.
