How to watch

The easiest way to watch online is via Fanmio

Those who want to see the fight will need to get pay-per-view access. A ticket to watch the fight comes with a T-shirt and costs $49.99 (£36, AU$64). 

Fanmio's site says that 20 US residents who sign up for Fanmio will also get a video meet-and-greet with the fighters -- and the giveaway rules say those winners do not have to buy the fight to enter the drawing.

There are other ways to watch, however. 

In the US you can pay Mayweather's usual partner Showtime $49.99 to watch the fight.

In the UK you can watch via Sky Sports Box Office for a relatively cheap £16.95. 

In Australia you can watch via Main Event for AU$49.95, which cheaper than you'll be paying on Fanmio, but you'll need access to Foxtel to access Main Event, which makes things trickier. If you don't already have a Foxtel subscription, best to just go the Fanmio route.

Fight and weigh-in details

This special exhibition is slated for eight rounds, each three minutes long. Both fighters will wear 12-ounce gloves.

On Saturday night, Logan Paul weighed in at 189.5 pounds and Mayweather at 155. Per his contract, Paul had to weigh in at 190 pounds or less for the fight, otherwise he would have been fined an eye-watering $100,000 for every pound he went overweight. Mayweather had to cap at 160. Mayweather faces a massive size disadvantage. Paul is around 6 foot 2 inches with a 76-inch reach, while Mayweather is around 5 foot 8 inches with a 72-inch reach.

Given the fight is an exhibition, it's been confirmed there will be no judges. Knockouts are legal and are to the judge's discretion. If the contest plays out to its conclusion there will be no official judges result, the Florida State Boxing Commission told Sky News.
