Logan Paul claims Mayweather still owes him $3 million from their exhibition

By JM SIASAT

YouTuber Logan Paul is claiming that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is yet to fully pay him for their exhibition match in June last year.

The pair traded leather for eight rounds in a pay-per-view event at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida, where nobody emerged victorious as it was merely an exhibition. According to Paul, Mayweather still owes him money from the fight.

"He didn't pay me, I wished he paid me. I got paid a little bit, not like I should have gotten paid, no. I am out a few million," Paul revealed on his Impaulsive podcast.

"He probably [still owes me] between two and three [million dollars]," Paul said.

In January, Paul claimed he had not yet been paid for the exhibition match. Mayweather later addressed the issue in a statement, saying that the money takes a while to be processed.

Paul also said he believes he won the fight.

"He did not knock out a YouTuber in eight rounds. He guaranteed a knockout in our press conference. I don't know there is a world where you can take away from that fight that Floyd won," he said.

Mayweather retired from the sport in 2017 but has made several trips back to the ring for exhibitions. His next appearance would be in yet another exhibition against Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura on Sunday, September 25, at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
