It was indeed one of the best boxing matches that broke the box office. Yes, Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather generated $50 million in pay-per-view, where Logan was promised to get paid by Floyd some amount of money
However, things are not easy between both stars, as Logan claims that he is yet to receive full payment of his share of the total revenue.
Though Paul hasn’t stated exactly how much money he’s owed, he stated that he was about to receive 10 percent of the PPV shares, which was roughly estimated to be around $5 million.
Logan Paul states his next steps against Floyd Mayweather over unpaid money
When Logan was asked about his next step against the veteran Floyd, he said, “It’s honestly bullshit. Like, having people who aren’t a professional promotional company control where the money goes, we made that mistake.”
He added, “It’s Floyd Mayweather. Before we fought him, we were kind of willing to do whatever. Now after the fact, we’re kind of shooting ourselves in the foot because he’s a “fucking scumbag.”
“No, he hasn’t paid me in full,” Logan stated. “That’s a fact. I cut a few million. When asked if he’s been trying to talk to Floyd’s camp, Logan makes it clear that it’s too late for all that.
“Nah,” Paul added. “We are going to take this to court. “See you in the courtroom. Congratulations on going to prison, Floyd.”
This comes with the territory- Floyd
Mayweather has been crisp and clear of his ideas and motives. Hence, replying to Logan over his previous statement, he explained on the Pivot Podcast saying: “This comes with the territory,” Mayweather said. “To them, that’s real money, and I like YouTubers. However, the money on the back end, from pay-per-view, takes a while.”
Mayweather remains among boxing’s biggest draws even years after his retirement. He was scheduled to return to the ring for an exhibition in Dubai this year, but that was canceled following the death of United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
