Tickets go on sale May 14th!
Tickets officially go on sale Friday, May 14 12 p.m. ET for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul special exhibition that will air live on Showtime Pay-Per-View (PPV). The clash will take place Sunday, June 6 in Miami Gardens, Florida. You can purchase them through Ticketmaster.com
Love it or hate it, this collision will occur live from the Hard Rock Stadium in front of thousands of fans. Boxing purists have voiced displeasure over the Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather (with his perfect record of 50-0) taking on the YouTube superstar upstart in Logan “The Maverick” Paul. But with the rising trend of legendary fighters putting on exhibition shows for the masses, the June 6 PPV will no doubt get its fair share of attention. Talks have been going on for a while about these two megastars (in their own lanes) squaring off in the ring. They were supposed to fight in February but the match was rescheduled so that fans can now attend as the pandemic restrictions have waned.
So just how many fans will be allowed to watch in person? The Hard Rock Stadium’s capacity is 64,767 but the Mayweather-Paul contest will be equipped to hold an extra 10,000 spectators with seats near ringside and on the field. The arena is home to the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Hurricanes and also the Orange Bowl.
And now this stadium will host the sport of boxing. The exhibition will ignite June 6 as the two strong personalities go toe to toe in the squared circle.
It will be interesting to see how fast tickets sell and if the stadium sells out? The recent Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders did incredible numbers with over 73,000 fans flocking to Texas to watch the fireworks in the ring. But that was a bona fide boxing match involving the biggest Mexican superstar in the world right now.
Time will tell if the viewers’ interest in celebrity exhibitions with famed fighters continue to rise.
Floyd, 44, last laced up against Conor McGregor in August 2017; Logan Paul’s first professional boxing match happened in November 2019 (a loss to KSI/Olajide William Olatunji). While the disparities in experience and record is quite obvious, the pair promise to put on an entertaining show for “bragging rights.” Logan’s brother Jake Paul has also shared some major trash talking with Mayweather (who says he’ll fight BOTH brothers).
The undercard will showcase WBA champ Jean Pascal versus world champion Badou Jack in the co-main and rematch between the two men. Jarrett Hurd will also be featured in his bout against Luis Arias.
And in a fourth PPV bout, former NFL star wide receiver Chad Johnson will make his boxing debut in an exhibition match against an opponent to be announced!
Lots of action coming your way on June 6.
