Hard Rock Stadium is set to play host to a massive boxing event on Sunday night. Legendary former five-division champion Floyd Mayweather will step into the ring with YouTube sensation Logan Paul for an exhibition bout.
Mayweather, 50-0 as a professional, will be at a significant size disadvantage against Paul, who lost his only pro fight. At Saturday's ceremonial weigh-ins, Paul weighed in at 189.5 pounds to Mayweather's 155. Paul will also enjoy a six-inch height advantage, but will be at a massive disadvantage in terms of actual boxing ability and experience.

Although neither fighter can earn an official "win" without scoring a knockout, both are looking to get some strong action in over the 24 minutes of scheduled fight time. There will be no judges scoring the fight at ring side and knockdowns and knockouts will be up to the discretion of the referee. Neither will wear headgear as they throw punches with 10-ounce gloves.
The card will also feature the debut of former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson. The former All Pro is slated for a four-round exhibition against MMA and Bare Knuckle fighter Brian Maxwell to kick off the PPV festivities. He has done boxing training before and sparred in his hometown gyms, but never officially stepped in the ring. Plus, Jarrett Hurd is back when he takes on Luis Arias at middleweight.
CBS Sports will be with you throughout the entire way on Sunday, so be sure to follow along with the live results and highlights below.
