New Logan Paul Vs. Floyd Mayweather Odds Have Been Released—And The YouTube Star Is Gaining Traction

Now that Jake Paul has dispatched of Ben Askren, which then allowed sports books to post odds for his next potential opponent, it’s time for the oddsmakers to, once again, analyze the chances of Paul’s older brother to beat one of the best boxers in history. With The Athletic reporting that Logan Paul plans to meet Floyd Mayweather on Showtime PPV on June 5, one sports book has released some new odds on the boxing exhibition.

According BetOnline.ag, Floyd Mayweather is a -2000 betting favorite vs. Paul, meaning you’d have to wager $2,000 to win $100. Paul, meanwhile, is a +900 underdog, which means you’d earn a $900 payday on a $100 wager.

Originally, Mayweather opened as a -5000 favorite, and Paul was +1500. So, that means the sports book believed those original odds were too wide. Considering Mayweather is 50-0 as a pro and Paul lost his only professional fight to fellow YouTube star KSI in 2019, that’s an interesting adjustment.

But Paul might have some advantages vs. Mayweather. Paul could outweigh Mayweather by as much as 30 pounds (according to The Athletic, Mayweather can’t weigh more than 160 pounds and Paul can’t weigh more than 190), and Mayweather hasn’t fought a professional fight since knocking out Conor McGregor in 2017 and making a guaranteed $100 million (Mayweather also took on Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition a couple of years ago where Mayweather earned $9 million).

For what it’s worth, Paul also is about six inches taller than Mayweather. Still, he has almost no chance in beating Mayweather, assuming this is a normal boxing match with a winner and a loser (unlike the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. exhibition, which ended in a draw).

Here are some other odds for Mayweather vs. Paul.
