    Logan Paul claims Floyd Mayweather still owes him $1.5 million from their 2021 fight

    The 30-year-old wrestler squared-off against the boxing legend in an exhibition bout back in June 2021, but Logan revealed that the financial fallout from the fight has left him out of pocket.


    Speaking on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Logan shared: "I didn't make as much money as you'd think fighting Floyd. He still owes me a million and a half. Maybe more."

    Logan explained that the dispute stems from Mayweather, 49, pre-selling the rights to the fight to a company in the Middle East - using Logan's name and likeness - before the event eventually moved to the United States.

    He said: "He pre-sold the fight using my likeness to some company in, I think, Dubai or like the Middle East - this is my understanding of it - for 10 million dollars cash. We ended up doing the fight in the States with a different company.

    "That is the company that put on the fight. That is the company that paid, but he sold our fight with my name and likeness to someone else in Dubai for 10 million dollars cash."

    Under the terms of their deal, Logan was entitled to 15 percent of that $10 million transaction - equating to the $1.5 million he claims he's still owed. And Logan is resigned to the possibility that he may never see the money.

    He said bluntly: "Our deal was 15 percent. He smoked me. I don't think I'm ever getting the money."

    Meanwhile, Logan recently revealed that he would "love" to wrestle Bad Bunny.

    The YouTuber-turned-wrestler has already held talks about facing the chart-topping star, and Logan admitted to feeling excited by the prospect.

    Logan - who signed a contract with the WWE in 2022 - said on his Impaulsive podcast: "Let's peel back the f****** curtain. I'm going to stop f****** around. Bad Bunny is a world-renowned superstar.

    "He also can be a WWE superstar when he wants. He's a good wrestler. He can f****** wrestle.

    "There have been talks about maybe us wrestling. It's been floated around. I've been candid about the fact that I'd love to do it. I think it would be the greatest WWE match of all time. I really believe that."
