Logan Paul claims Floyd Mayweather ‘doesn’t have any money’ amid YouTuber’s pay row with boxing legend
LOGAN PAUL has claimed Floyd Mayweather ‘doesn’t have any money’ amid their bitter pay row.
Paul faced Mayweather in a shock exhibition bout last June which went the full eight-round distance.
But the YouTube star has since claimed to have not been fully paid – and has been left to chase it up.
Paul, 26, alleged his dispute with Mayweather, 45, is still ongoing and questioned the boxing legend’s finances.
He said on Walkway to Fight Club: “Nah, same s***. It’s unfortunate because it’s Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, right?
“Surely I was gonna get my cheque fairly quickly, right? Ok, but then that didn’t happen.
“So I’m sure it’ll come eventually, right? Maybe in a little bit? Then I realised ‘OK, I’m being strung along.’
“This is a classic ‘Hey, buddy, you’re the new guy in this industry. We’re gonna puppeteer you however we want with your money. So, hop on for the ride and shut up.’

“But instead of shutting up, I make fun of him on social media and let everyone know that he doesn’t have any money.”
The exhibition sold over a million pay-per-views and Mayweather boasted of earning $100m (£75m).
And he has only once addressed Paul’s accusations, while on The Pivot Podcast.
Mayweather said: “This comes with the territory. To them, that’s real money, and I like the YouTubers.
“The money on the back end though, from pay-per-view, that takes a while.
“Nothing comes right away. I’m still collecting cheques from fights seven or eight years ago.
“They just hate when the table is turned. Be happy with the biggest payday you ever got in your life.”
