A major boxing event was planned to take place at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday night. Floyd Mayweather, the legendary former five-division champion, fought YouTube phenom Logan Paul in an exhibition match.

Mayweather, who had a professional record of 50-0, was at a substantial size disadvantage versus Paul, who has only fought once in his career. Paul weighed in at 189.5 pounds to Mayweather’s 155 during Saturday’s ceremonial weigh-ins. Paul will also have a six-inch height advantage, but he will be significantly outmatched in terms of genuine boxing talent and experience.

Despite the fact that neither combatant could claim victory without a knockout, both were hoping for a lot of activity in the 24 minutes allotted for the bout. There were no judges at ringside to score the bout, and knockdowns and knockouts will be at the referee’s discretion. When they throw punches with 10-ounce gloves, neither will wear a helmet.

Chad Johnson, a former NFL wide receiver, will make his debut on the card. To start off the PPV celebrations, the former All Pro will compete in a four-round demonstration versus MMA and Bare Knuckle fighter Brian Maxwell. He’s done some boxing training and sparring at his local gyms, but he’s never gone into the ring. Plus, Jarrett Hurd returns to the middleweight division as he fights Luis Arias.
