With the date set for this Sunday, June 6th, the rules have finally been set in place for the Logan Paul – Floyd Mayweather exhibition boxing match. To say some of these rules discredit this fight and make it seem like a joke would be an understatement.
According to ESPN Ringside, here are the official rules for the Logan Paul – Floyd Mayweather contest.

There will be no judges and no official winner will be declared or read aloud. What's the point then?
It's been well known that this is indeed an exhibition match, it was never going to count on Floyd Mayweather's official record and Logan Paul isn't a professional boxer anyways. But don't we watch sports, watch events like this to see a winner and a loser?
This will open up an array of theories including one now that Mayweather could just dance around the ring for eight rounds, throw a few jabs and collect a paycheck. In doing so, he doesn't absorb any hits, doesn't go viral for getting hit hard, avoids any damage and leaves with a hefty payday anyways.
With there being no judges and winner announced, what's the incentive for Mayweather to go all out? There isn't really one.
Logan Paul meanwhile, could take a more conservative approach as well now that there will be no declared winner.
This could very well head down a path where there is little action during the fight and both Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul declare themselves the winner at the end.
Perhaps the no judges and no winner is a minor detail and won't hold any weight. But it sure seems significant.
