Floyd Mayweather turned 49 last week.
Considering the zillions of dollars Mayweather earned throughout his boxing career, it would not be unreasonable to think “Money” didn’t need to keep fighting. But here we are in 2026 and the former five-division world champion has three bouts lined up across the next eight months.
“I didn’t make as much money as you’d think fighting Floyd,” Paul told The Iced Coffee Hour. “He still owes me a million and a half, maybe more. 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 dollars cash. We ended up doing the fight in the States with a different company.”
“That is the company that put on the fight,” Paul added. “That is the company that paid, but he sold our fight with my name and likeness to someone else in Dubai for 10 million dollars cash. It’s our fight, bro. Our deal was 15 percent. He smoked me. So I got 15 percent of it. 15 percent of 10 million dollars is 1.5 million dollars.”
“That company that paid him that money is suing him,” Paul said. “I actually don’t know the status on that lawsuit. He has a bunch of legal trouble at the moment. I don’t think I’m ever getting the money.”
