Rules for Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul
A few days ahead of the fight, it was revealed that Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul will have no judges present for scoring as it is an exhibition bout, and therefore no official winner.
Knockouts were still allowed inside the ring and according to the referee's discretion, but the fight itself was not sanctioned by the Florida State Boxing Commission due to the significant difference in size between the two fighters.
The fight will be of eight three-minute rounds each and the competitors will have no headgear and 10oz gloves instead of 12oz, thanks to a late rule change.
