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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThat is the company that put on the fight,\u201d Paul added. \u201cThat 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\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThat company that paid him that money is suing him,\u201d Paul said. \u201cI actually don\u2019t know the status on that lawsuit. He has a bunch of legal trouble at the moment. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m ever getting the money.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Floyd Mayweather turned 49 last week.
