However, fans are now speculating that there was actually a knockout that Mayweather tried to cover up. At one point in the fight, the veteran boxer, 44, punched Paul in the face, and the 26-year-old appeared to have been knocked out while Mayweather held him up.

Viewers believe Mayweather tried to go easy on his competitor to keep the match interesting. If Mayweather quickly knocked Logan out, there would be little interest in a possible rematch, according to skeptics.

In light of fans questioning if Mayweather tried to cover up the accidental knockout, Paul took to Instagram to slam the haters. "Shut the f**k up, like just shut the f**k up, like stop trying to discredit what happened last night," he demanded on Monday, June 7, via a series of Instagram Story posts.

He went on to compliment Mayweather before insisting that his opponent didn't try to cover anything up.

“Make no mistake, he got a lot of good punches in. There’s a couple photos, I got f**ked up [by] a couple shots. I didn’t know my face could make that shape. But never rocked, never blacked out, never obviously got knocked out. He never helped me up,” Paul affirmed. “He tried to take me out and he couldn’t. It was great.”
