Logan Paul claims Floyd Mayweather still owes him $1.5 million for their fight.
WWE Superstar and social media influencer Logan Paul stepped into the boxing ring to take on Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition crossover boxing match on June 6, 2021, in Miami. The contest ended without a winner after it went the full eight-round distance.
During a recent interview on The Iced Coffee Hour, Logan Paul revealed that he never got paid for the fight. He claims Floyd Mayweather pre-sold the fight to a Middle Eastern company for $10 million cash using his name and likeness.
“No, I didn’t make as much money as you think fighting Floyd. He still owes me a million and a half, maybe more,” Logan Paul claimed. “Here’s what happened: he pre-sold the fight using my likeness to some company in I think Dubai or like the Middle East, this is my understanding of it, for $10 million cash.
“We ended up doing the fight in the States with a different company. That is the company that put on the fight, that is the company that paid. But he sold our fight with my name and likeness to someone else in Dubai for $10 million cash. It’s our fight, bro. Our deal was 15%,” Logan Paul said.
Logan Paul says he might never get the money
Speaking further, Logan Paul revealed that the Middle Eastern company is suing him after the match ended up taking place in the United States for another company. As a result, he has yet to receive his 15% payout, which comes to $1.5 million. The WWE star feels he might never get the money.
“He fuc*in smoked me. So I got 15% of it. 15% of $10 million is $1.5 million. That company that paid him that money is suing him. I actually don’t know the status of that lawsuit. I should check in because he still owes me money. But he has a bunch of legal trouble at the moment. I don’t think I’m ever getting the money,” Logan Paul said.
