FLOYD MAYWEATHER announced he will come back to boxing in an exhibition fight against YouTube sensation Logan Paul.

And with the millions on offer, there are bound to be a clutch of venues desperate to host the fight.

Floyd Mayweather will fight Logan Paul on February 20

That will take place on February 20, meaning work to do to sort out where it will take place.

Here, SunSport checks out five potential locations to host the mouthwatering scrap.

Staples Center

The Los Angeles stadium was picked to host Mike Tyson’s sensational boxing comeback when he drew with Roy Jones Jr.

It has a capacity of 20,000, but there is a big possiblity this could be restricted due to coronavirus.

Mayweather has never fought at the stadium before. Paul has – his defeat to fellow YouTuber Brit KSI in November 2019.

Floyd Mayweather will earn yet more millions for fighting Logan Paul

MGM Grand

This would likely be Mayweather’s place of choice.

The 43-year-old had many of his boxing fights at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and it would rekindle that winning mentality.

And of course, the party could really kick-off afterwards for the man known as ‘Money’,

Mayweather would relish going back to the scene of many of his boxing victories

Tokyo

Mayweather took part in his first ‘exhibition’ in Tokyo when he battered Tenshin Nasukawa in December last year.

He has spoken previously how he would be keen to host more events in Japan, so this has to be an early favourite.

And of course, it could bring Paul a whole new audience too.

Saudi Arabia

The Sheikhs threw millions to land Anthony Joshua‘s successful rematch victory against Andy Ruiz Jr in December last year.

The event truly was a spectacle, with the boxers doing battle with the dunes as a backdrop.

The plan has always to have more ‘fights in the desert’ – this could be the money-spinner they want next.

Saudi Arabia built this venue for Joshua vs Ruiz II

China

China seem desperate to have a global sporting event on their shores and have the money to do it.

The nation knows how to sell a product, and they could easily have locals gripped by the crossover bout.

It could also offer the platform for some of it’s own up-and-coming boxers to get their name out there.
