Floyd Mayweather Logan Paul Betting Props Stir Interest

• Floyd Mayweather is heavily favored with -3000 odds to beat Logan Paul in their exhibition match.
• Logan Paul has -500 odds to be the first fighter to bleed in the fight.
• The Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight is scheduled to take place on February 20, 2021, in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS — Boxing fans will have a lot to look forward to in 2021 as there are a variety of upcoming fights showcasing the past, present, and future of the sport. One of the biggest fights will be the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul bout taking place on February 20.

Mayweather is arguably one of the greatest boxers the sport has ever seen and YouTube star Logan Paul stepping into the ring against him doesn’t seem like it will be much of a contest and sports betting sites agree.

Boxing Odds

• Floyd Mayweather Jr -3000
• Logan Paul +1100

Mayweather being the favorite to win this fight at -3000 odds shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Floyd went 50-0 during his career and it’s hard to imagine him losing a fight to a YouTube sensation Logan Paul, who has yet to record his first win in a boxing ring.

Since the SU odds for this fight don’t provide a great return, boxing betting fans should turn to fight props to receive a better return on their wager.

BetOnline has posted a trio of props around the match that have better odds than just betting on who will win the fight.

If looking to place a bet on Mayweather without the -3000 these props are the best way to bet.

First to Bleed

• Logan Paul -500
• Floyd Mayweather +300

Floyd Mayweather is one of the best defensive boxers and it’ll be hard for Paul to land punches on him. The +300 odds on Mayweather to bleed first should be avoided at all costs.

Some of the best boxers in the world have failed to land significant punches and Paul isn’t on that level as a fighter, which is why Paul’s -500 odds on being the first to bleed should be taken with confidence.

Mayweather likely won’t get touched much in this fight making this one of the easier props to eat on out of the three.

Will Logan Paul be Knocked Down?

• Yes -400
• No +250

Yes, Logan Paul will be knocked down in this fight and the -400 odds are worth the risk for this prop. As the fight gets closer expect there to be a specific betting prop for how many times Paul will be knocked down as well.

As for this boxing prop, Paul being knocked down at least once in this fight is likely to happen as he has never faced a fighter of Mayweather’s caliber.

Will the Fight Go the Distance?

• No -300
• Yes +200

Although it is a bit risky the Paul-Mayweather fight could go the distance and the +200 odds make it worth it. Since this is an exhibition, this fight will not be 12 rounds, instead, this fight will only go six rounds, which will be the biggest aid in helping this fight go the distance.

Expect Mayweather to come out and put on a defensive showcase while patiently picking his spots to attack. Take a flier bet on the odds that Mayweather wins easily by a decision and not by a knockout.

Nonetheless, Mayweather is no stranger to fighting those who challenge him in the ring and he’s made sure to remind those of what has happened the last few times he’s stepped into the ring “for fun”.

These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games. 3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that bitch. @loganpaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.
