Logan Paul plans to file a lawsuit against US boxing star Floyd Mayweather, claiming he was not paid for their exhibition fight, according to the TMZ Sports.
"It's honestly bulls**t," Logan said as quoted by the TMZ. "Like, having people who aren't a professional promotional company control where the money goes, we made that mistake… 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 f**king scumbag."
According to the terms of the contract, Logan Paul was to receive $20 million and 10% of the pay-per-view, while Mayweather's share would be $10 million and half of the PPV.
After the fight took place, media reported that the exhibition generated over 1 million buys on pay-per-view and was available for $49.99.
Floyd has yet to comment on the situation.
The exhibition fight between Paul and Mayweather took place in June 2021 - it lasted 8 rounds. As a result of the fight, no winner was established due to the rules of an exhibition fight. ESPN, however, scored the bout 78-74 for Mayweather.
