Logan Paul has renewed his claim that Floyd Mayweather Jr. still owes him money from their June 2021 exhibition bout. Paul alleges that Mayweather pre-sold the event to a foreign company for $10 million in cash before the fight took place in the United States, and that Paul's contractual cut of that deal was never paid. Paul says he was entitled to 15% of the $10 million pre-sale, which would amount to $1.5 million that he claims Mayweather still owes him.
Why it matters
This dispute over payment highlights the complex financial dealings and contractual issues that can arise around high-profile boxing exhibitions. It also speaks to the challenges athletes can face in ensuring they are properly compensated, even when they have negotiated deals upfront.
The details
According to Paul, the $10 million pre-sale deal with a company in Dubai or the Middle East happened before the fight was finalized to take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Paul claims his contract entitled him to 15% of that pre-sale revenue, which would be $1.5 million that he says Mayweather has not paid him. Paul alleges the company that paid Mayweather the $10 million is now suing him, but Paul believes he is unlikely to ever recoup the money owed to him.
- The exhibition fight between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather took place on June 6, 2021 in Miami Gardens, Florida.
- In late 2021, Paul publicly called Mayweather a 'weasel' on Instagram over the payment dispute.
- In 2022, Paul told TMZ he intended to pursue the matter in court.

What they’re saying
“He pre-sold the fight using my name and likeness to a company, I think in Dubai or somewhere in the Middle East, for $10,000,000 cash. We ended up doing the fight in the US with a different company. That's the company that put on the fight, but he had already sold our fight to someone else for $10M cash.”

“Our deal was 15%, he smoked me. 15% of $10,000,000 is $1,500,000. The company that paid him $10M is suing him. I don't think I'm ever getting the money.”

What’s next

The takeaway
This ongoing dispute highlights the complex financial arrangements and potential pitfalls that can arise around high-profile boxing exhibitions, where athletes must carefully negotiate contracts to ensure they are properly compensated even if the fight plans change.
