Logan Paul suing Floyd Mayweather over millions owed from the fight
2 min read
“I’ll see you in court.” Floyd Mayweather, congratulations on your incarceration.” Logan Paul claims he is still waiting for his full fight purse almost a year after going the distance with Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition boxing match. Logan Paul recently spoke to TMZ at the grand opening of New York’s Hard Rock Hotel, where he claimed that Mayweather still owes him “a few mil” following the pair’s unjudged fight, which earned an estimated $50 million from 1 million pay-per-view purchases. “No, he has not paid me in full,” Logan said to Complex. “That is true. “I’m a few miles short.”
Conversation between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather
When asked if the issues could be resolved outside of court through communication with Floyd Mayweather’s camp, Logan Paul doubled down. “No,” he replied. “We’re going to court on this one.” I’ll see you in court. Floyd Mayweather, congratulations on your incarceration.” Logan Paul has not disclosed the exact amount owing, although the contract required him to 10% of profits, which equates to an estimated $5 million. This isn’t the first time he’s mentioned suing Mayweather after the duo squared off for eight rounds on Showtime.
Logan Paul’s allegations about Floyd Mayweather
He told in February that his overzealousness was partly to blame for the money missing from his bank account. “It’s completely false,” Logan Paul told TMZ. “For example, we made the error of allowing people who aren’t from a professional promotional business to manage where the money goes.” “It’s Floyd Mayweather,” he added. We were prepared to do everything before we fought him. We’re kind of shooting ourselves in the foot now because he’s a filthy scoundrel.” Mayweather responded to Logan Pauls’ claims on The Pivot Podcast, which he co-hosted with current and former NFL players Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor, and Ryan Clark.
“This is part of the deal,” Mayweather said. “That’s real money to them, and I like YouTubers.” The money from pay-per-view, on the other hand, takes time. Nothing comes to mind immediately now. I’m still getting money from battles from seven or eight years ago. They simply despise it when the tables are turned. Be content with the largest payout you’ve ever received.”

Due to the fact that my subject's studies are based entirely on my research work and sources, I am able to write informative articles. New writers are worried that the story has been told already, well, it has been, but not by you.
