Since many of us have been caught up in the heat of Logan Paul fighting Floyd, we might not have paid attention to some details. First and foremost let’s talk about what is an Exhibition Fight.
An exhibition match in boxing means the result from the match won’t count toward either fighter’s professional record. So, neither a winner nor loser is deemed as the result of an exhibition match.
Thus, even if Floyd miraculously losses to Logan, he will still maintain his 50-0 record. And Logan too won’t be able to professionally claim his victory.
Who Benefits From Exhibition Match; Logan or Floyd?
To be honest, Logan Paul has nothing to lose from this fight at all. If he wins, he will most likely break the internet, and still, some people will call the fight, rigged.
But for Floyd, he has nothing to earn really except for the huge monetary deal. Floyd’s entire image that he built throughout the years is one the line. If he wins the fight, it will be against just a YouTuber. There certainly is nothing to be proud about in that.

But if he losses? Can you imagine the trolls and memes, Floyd will have to deal with his entire life? So, from the Exhibition fight, Floyd Money Mayweather is the one who will benefit the most.
Although this match might be a piece of cake for Floyd, if in any case, he happens to lose; at least this loss won’t be in his professional record. Imagine losing your unbeaten legacy to a YouTuber? That would hurt the most. Therefore, an exhibition match is the safest one for Floyd.
No Official Winner In Boxing Meaning
Mayweather vs. Paul boxing match rules, as per Florida commission:
— No judges
— No official winner read
— Knockouts legal
— KO up to ref discretion
— No headgear
— 12 oz. gloves
— Eight 3-minute rounds
So, every other rule is as clear as can be. But the fans are losing their mind over how does no official winner work in a boxing match? Now, since they have mentioned there won’t be any judges, who are the ones who usually decided who wins the game, it is self-explanatory here.
No official winner in a boxing match means neither party will win the fight based on the technicalities like in a normal boxing match. So, the only way to clearly win here is through knockout. If either Logan or Floyd manages to knock out the other one, that is allowed. The match’s referee will be the one determining the knockouts.
And again going back to the exhibition fight rule, even if there is a clear knockout, the professional record remains untouched. This fight has a very high chance that none of the players will knock out the other one.
So, at the end of the day, these two will make money, and the fans have actually nothing to gain at all.
