The world just experienced an exhibition boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Logan Paul. As expected, Twitter was on fire for the event and remained opinioned as they reacted to Mayweather vs. Paul.
An Uneventful Exhibition
As expected, Floyd Mayweather virtually toyed around with Logan Paul for eight rounds. High tech 4k cameras caught Mayweather on video smiling for nearly the entire fight. He feinted, ducked, dodged, and threw counter punches when he felt like it. He tired out Paul, then walked him down to the ropes to prove to the world that he wasn’t concerned with Logan’s power.
At one point, fans of the sport thought Mayweather would stop playing with his food and finish the fight. However, Paul took every opportunity to hold onto Mayweather as tight as he could, as if he were riding on the back of a motorcycle or having his first prom dance.
Twitter Reacts to Mayweather vs. Paul
Of course, post-fight clarity kicked in immediately after the fight was over. Once the realization hit that fans paid their hard-earned money for an exhibition match, Twitter voiced their opinions as they reacted to what they witnessed.

Well that was the most obvious casual carry Floyd has ever done. If his record was actually on the line he'd have murdered him. #FloydvsLogan pic.twitter.com/9lC0hPG7BX

“Conor McGregor watching Logan Paul go 8 full rounds with Floyd and laugh afterward. #MayweatherPaul”
And, of course, the tweet of the night came from Alex B Smith on Twitter.
Drunk OJ out here with fight analysis. He scored the fight 5-3 Floyd but we know his history with decisions coming from a judge. https://t.co/IJ2yHc7DGl

Also, FWIW, Jake is better than Logan. And yeah, I know, the competition has been different, but it’s clear to me.

It's crazy to think that Logan Paul (0-1) just made $20M on a boxing exhibition.

Potential Rematch
All in all, fight fans went home feeling robbed of their money. But, both Mayweather and Paul left the ring millions of dollars richer. Sadly enough, all of this could happen again in a rematch. And more than likely, the world will repeat its sense of unfulfillment.
