It was the farce I expected it to be. Paul just clinched and lay on him to stop anything happening.

Let’s be honest. Floyd is an absolute master and has for a long time just contained people and picked them off on points. So no surprise that’s what he did tonight. Especially against someone he could have genuinely hurt who is playing at being a boxer
I don’t think Tyron Woodley will have the same approach in August against Jake Paul. He’s also a much bigger bellend than Logan so I am more than happy to see him get sparked out
Threw less than half the punches but landed over double.
As you say, that's his career.
Don't know why I expected (hoped) he'd absolutely cripple that Paul.
There’s a reason why Floyd looks like he’s never boxed a round in his life (physically). He’s too clever, he’s too quick. I watched him live in Vegas once and it was one of the most boring fights I’ve ever seen. He knew he was better so just danced around, kept his distance and gradually picked the guy off on points. Was dull but it was a masterclass in ring craft
People who complain about him don't understand how scoring works.
He understands perfectly well and always does enough.
Disappointed he's doing these daft bouts mind. I guess that's why he's called Money.

He looks old. Few years earlier and it would have been more decisive. That should be Floyd’s last fight.
Lost a lot of respect for Mayweather there. He pulled several punches, landed ghost shots all night. It wasn't age, it was scripted to go 8 rounds.
I don't mind him making money through these 'exhibitions' - if people are stupid enough to buy something, there's nothing wrong with selling them it - but don't disrespect the sport so blatantly whilst doing so. He'll make the excuse that 'he didn't want to hurt the kid' or something, but in that case don't sell a 'boxing match' with him.

An exhibition is a glorified spar isn't it really. You're not supposed to really try to knock the opponent out. The whole thing was a farce. Exhibitions should just be a thing to raise money for charity.

I almost feel ripped off just reading about this farce, but really, did anyone think it'd be any different?
If people are willing to pay £50 to watch this kind of nonsense then fair enough. Don't think it does anything much positive for the sport of boxing though.

For someone as high profile and as good as Mayweather why has he even entertained these pathetic fights? I suppose if idiots will fall for the trash talk and pay there 50 quid then they will keep doing it. A 'kin gobshite of a youtuber against arguably the best pound for pound fighter ever.

A fool and his money... etc etc
Nail on head. It's panto. Mad how upset and infuriated some people have got over a YouTuber.
I doubt Mayweather has the appetite for putting non-boxers in wheelchairs when it's just an exhibition.
