Rain causes worry amongst fans

On June 6th, hours before the main event, it started to rain at the Hard Rock Stadium. Given that it's a massive football field, there is no overhead covering for the thousands in attendance.

As the event proceeded into the night, the undercard fights had to pause to allow workers to hand-dry the ring. The rain has also reportedly caused fighters to slip and fall, alerting fans of a possible disadvantage to the fight.

In fact, during one of the undercard fights, the referee had called a "knockdown" when one of the boxers actually slipped.

Fans worried about possible disadvantage for either Floyd Mayweather or Logan Paul

The main event featuring the 44-year-old former professional boxer and the 26-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer will start at midnight EST.

As the undercard fights already appear to be a mess due to falls and alleged unfair knockdowns, fans are highly concerned about Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul's possible disadvantage against the rain, potentially resulting in an unfair ruling.

Maybe this will somehow help Logan win if Floyd slips

That'd what I'm worried about. This could expose Mayweather. Very strange choice in arena.
