Twitter Reacts To Floyd Mayweather And Logan Paul’s Exhibition Draw

The match was scheduled for eight three-minute rounds and while there was no official winner, knockouts were legal. A tally posted on-screen by ShowTime showed Mayweather had a clear advantage in jabs landed, power, and total punches landed.
"I don't want anyone to tell me anything is impossible ever again," Paul said. "The fact that I'm in here with one of the best boxers of all times proves the odds can be beat."
