Youtube star turned boxer, Logan Paul, claims Floyd Mayweather still owes him between $2 to $5 million from their pay-per-view fight, which took place in June of 2021.
The two headlined a Showtime Pay-Per-View in Miami. Paul took Mayweather the full eight round distance in an exhibition fight.
Paul held a significant age, size and weight advantage in the bout.
Paul was paid his actual purse for the fight, but he claims that there is unpaid money with respect to the pay-per-view revenue.
"My guess [of what he owes me] would be between two and five mill, conservatively," Paul told True Geordie's podcast.
"I've been paid, yeah. Not in full. Technically. What about the rest of my money? This will be settled."
In response to Paul's claims of being owed money, Mayweather recently told reporters that Paul approached him for a rematch.
“He wants part two. Now remember, this is the same guy that said he didn’t get paid. So, a lot of times stop listening to all the bullsh!t that people [say]. You know, like I say, clout-chasing," Mayweather said.
"You know, when you bring Floyd Mayweather name up, you stay relevant. I’m always the reaction. I’m not the action, I’m the reaction.”
Paul shot back at Mayweather's statements.
He says it was Mayweather's handlers who came to him with the idea of a second fight.
"Let me just set the record straight, why the f--- would I ask for a rematch for someone who doesn't pay you for the fight? If I haven't been paid for the first one, why on God's green earth would I ask for a second fight knowing damn well I'm probably not gonna get paid the money that I was owed for my work, you dumbass," Paul said.
"Second off, they asked us for a rematch, 100 percent. He was supposed to fight on top of the Burj Al Arab, in Dubai, the seven star hotel with the helipad up top. Would've been amazing. Got called a month and a half before because some sh!t happened to his opponent, 'Hey, would you want to fight Floyd in a month and a half?'
"Someone from his team or someone who at least thought they could get the deal done enough to make us a confidential phone call. I go, 'What? Bro, pay me for the first f------ fight.'"
