Floyd Mayweather Reacts To Logan Paul Saying He Owes Him Money

Floyd Mayweather has responded to Logan Paul after the YouTuber has threatened to sue him after not being paid in full for their boxing match.

The two fought back in June in an exhibition match and it was a highly-anticipated fight and reports say it did over a million pay-per-view buys. However, Paul has claimed he has not been paid for the fight and threatened to sue the undefeated fighter.

Although Paul says he hasn’t been paid, Mayweather says he has and all they are waiting for is the pay-per-view money which takes a while to come in.

“This comes with the territory,” Mayweather said on The Pivot Podcast (via BoxingScene). “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 checks 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.”

Although Floyd Mayweather claims it takes a long time for pay-per-view money to come in, we have seen other boxers and UFC fighters show off their pay-per-view cut just a few months after the event. But, it does appear Paul plans on suing Mayweather anyway to get the money.

Not only did Floyd Mayweather talk about Paul accusing him of not paying him, but he also talked about being wealthy and how he accomplished it. He also touched on his legacy as he says what he thinks of himself is important as there will always be doubters.

“The ultimate goal is to go to sleep when you want to and wake up when you want to,” said Mayweather. “If you’re not doing that, then someone or something is controlling you. I don’t want to be controlled. I want to be my own boss. That’s why I paid 750 thousand dollars to get out of my first promotional contract. Because I eventually made 750 million dollars in just three fights. I don’t really care what people believe. No matter what you do, it’s not good enough for everyone. No matter what, they’re going to say what they want to say. But the history books, they will say something completely different.”
