Logan Paul demands $1.5 million from Floyd Mayweather Jr., claiming an outstanding debt from their June 2021 exhibition bout in Miami Gardens. The YouTuber insists that Mayweather owes him money for the bout presold overseas, yet Logan never received his cut.
Back in June 2021, the bout between Logan and Mayweather generated much attention, primarily due to its unique pairing of a seasoned boxer against a popular social media star. Using Paul's name and likeness allowed a presale deal allegedly worth $10 million to happen, with the arrangement specifying Logan getting 15%. However, Logan still waits for his promised $1.5 million share.
Mayweather Promotions recently found itself embroiled in another financial tussle with PAC Entertainment Worldwide. They filed a [lawsuit](https://www.lawsuit.com) seeking over $122 million after a Dubai exhibition event fell through. The promoters had anticipated massive earnings and based their legal action on unmet financial promises related to fight staging rights.
In terms of personal payouts from their battle in Miami, Floyd earned a base payday of $10 million plus significant revenue sharing from pay-per-view sales. Although not reaching Mayweather's level, Logan reportedly pulled in close to $5 million between his base remuneration and PPV cut.
Despite being unresolved nearly five years later, Logan's payment dispute hasn't slowed him down. These days, you can catch him diving into ventures outside the ring like WWE participation or building his PRIME Hydration business alongside KSI while residing comfortably in Puerto Rico.
Floyd also occupies headlines as he makes his return against Manny Pacquiao on September 19 at the Sphere in Vegas, marking his first official fight since 2017. With die-hard fans watching their every announcement closely, expectations run high given both fighters' established history famously culminating during "The Fight of the Century" back in 2015.
