What are the covid-19 restrictions for the Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight?

The bout between boxing legend Floyd "Money" Mayweather and YouTuber sensation Logan Paul is a go; the matchup will take place in sunny Miami. Initially scheduled for February of last year at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, the fight had to be postponed to a different date in light of the sanitary crisis affecting the entire world.

Mayweather explained that the fight was rescheduled for another date because of covid-19 restrictions that would limit their audience numbers. Given the nature of the bout, an exhibition spectacle, the fighters lean heavily on fans being able to attend the stadium. 


With chatter that the clash between the boxers would never occur, the fight is now a reality in what seems a series of boxing matches that are anything but professional.
