Mayweather is one of the greatest to have ever stepped into the boxing ring and has an unblemished 50-0 professional record. He’s a fighter with unrivalled punching accuracy, who could dodge a bullet if he wanted to.
However, he’s 44 and used to fighting opponents around 50lb lighter and six-inches shorter than YouTuber-turned-brawler Logan Paul.
But can he make it count? Logan Paul has only fought professionally once – a defeat at the hands of a fellow novice who was both shorter and lighter than him – whereas Mayweather has beaten all of the fellow greats of his era, including the famously hard-hitting Diego Corrales. But Logan Paul did manage to steal Mayweather’s cap at the press conference, so at least he’s got that!
Love it or hate it, this could be intriguing contest that will almost certainly end with a heavily battered ego. Here’s all you need to know about Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul date, time, live stream options and more.
Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul: time and date
This will be Mayweather’s first fight in 28 months, and Logan Paul’s first in a year and a half – the event is set to take place on Sunday, May 6.
Showtime’s PPV presentation is slated to start at 8pm ET / 5pm PT, so we’d expect the fighters to head to the ring at around midnight ET / 9pm PT. That’s 5am BST in the UK and 2pm AEST in Australia on Sunday, May 7.
Where to watch Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul
US folk looking for a Mayweather vs Paul live stream will need shell out $49.99 on the pay-per-view event on Showtime. You can get Showtime on a selection of devices including iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV (4th Gen+), Roku, Xbox One, as well as simply on its website.
Across the Atlantic in the UK, it’s been announced as a Sky Sports Box Office pay-per-view at a price of £16.95. Now that’s actually cheaper than most events on the platform, but that hasn’t stopped a lot of people on social media deriding the cost. To be clear, this won’t make up part of your usual Sky Sports or Sky TV packages.
Australian fight fans won’t be surprised to see Main Event’s name attached to this one, Orders are open, and it’s priced up at $49.95.
Not in those countries? Both Floyd and Logan are promoting little-known Fanmio alongside Showtime as the official website for PPVs as the ‘worldwide’ streaming option. Fanmio is charging $49.99 and it comes with a free t-shirt and you get entered into a contest to win a “video meet and greet”!
How to watch Mayweather vs Logan Paul if you’re away from your country
As we say, PPV platforms have this wrapped up pretty much everywhere. But if you’re abroad and discover that your coverage is geo-blocked, then the only alternative that we know is to use a VPN to dial in to a country that is showing the fight.
The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location – and all through a safe, encrypted connection. Here’s how to get started.
Use a VPN to live stream boxing from anywhere
ExpressVPN is the world’s top VPN
We’ve tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It’s compatible with loads of devices including iOS, Android, Amazon Fire Stick, PlayStation, Apple TV and such, and we found it secure, speedy and simple-to-use.
Another great perk is the fact that it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee and 3-months FREE, so you can see if it’s right for you with no strings attached.
Once you’ve downloaded the software, just follow the prompts to install it then select the location you want to relocate your IP address to – it really is that easy.
Remember, there are loads of benefits to using a VPN beyond just helping you regain access to streaming services and content from abroad. One of the biggest is security: by using encrypted tunnels, streaming VPNs give you a robust first-line of defense against cybercriminals and government snooping. This makes everyday tasks like online shopping and banking much safer, and many people choose to use one for that reason alone.
But please note, for obvious reasons, we haven’t been able to actively verify that Express or any other VPN works effectively with the PPV platforms mentioned above.

Who is Floyd Mayweather?
Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather is one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all time – and widely considered to be the very best the sport has ever seen.
The 44-year-old won all 50 of his professional fights, the first of those against Roberto Apodaca in October 1996, the last against Conor McGregor in August 2017.
He’s won 15 major world titles across a multitude of weight divisions, and defeated some of the biggest stars in boxing, including Canelo, Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya and José Luis Castillo.
Having retired from boxing three times, Mayweather is consistently linked with a return to the ring – the biggest factor being the size of the purse.
He won his first exhibition match after the end of his professional career emphatically, knocking down kickboxing superstar Tenshin Nasukawa three times in the first round before the towel was thrown in.
Who is Logan Paul?
Logan ‘The Maverick’ Paul is an internet personality who rose to stardom via his YouTube channel, though in recent years he’s sought to expand his fame largely by stoking controversy and causing offense.
The 26-year-old has also forged an extremely lucrative boxing career, which started with a white-collar amateur bout with fellow YouTuber KSI in August 2018.
The fight was declared a majority draw, but KSI won the rematch – this time a professional fight – by split decision in November 2019.
