Logan Paul Demands $1.5M from Floyd Mayweather After 2021 Exhibition Fight

Logan Paul is demanding $1.5 million from Floyd Mayweather, claiming the boxing legend still owes him money from their 2021 exhibition fight at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Mayweather dismissed the claim this week, calling the fight ‘fake’ and refusing to engage further.**

**Why is Logan Paul chasing $1.5 million?** Paul’s claim stems from an alleged agreement before the fight. He told reports earlier this year that Mayweather pre-sold the event’s rights to a Middle Eastern company for $10 million in cash, with Paul’s name and image used to secure the deal. According to Paul, their agreement granted him 15% of the total—$1.5 million—which he says has never been paid.

The fight itself took place on May 29, 2021, an eight-round exhibition match declared a draw. Mayweather reportedly earned up to $100 million, while Paul’s guaranteed purse was $250,000, though he later claimed his total earnings reached around $5 million.

**How did Mayweather respond?** When asked about the claim this week, Mayweather gave a dismissive reply. *“I wish him nothing but the best,”* he told *Come And Talk 2 Me*, avoiding any direct acknowledgment of the debt. The response suggests the dispute will likely remain unresolved for now.

Mayweather’s financial troubles have been well-documented, with UFC president Dana White even attempting to assist him. His planned rematch with Manny Pacquiao in September was recently canceled, adding to the speculation about his financial constraints.

**What’s next for Logan Paul?** Paul, now a WWE performer, has made his pursuit of the money a public issue. With Mayweather’s financial struggles continuing, Paul may face an uphill battle in recovering the funds. Meanwhile, Mayweather’s former protégé Gervonta Davis has publicly called him out, adding pressure from another angle.

The dispute underscores the lingering tensions from their 2021 clash, which drew massive attention despite being an exhibition. For Paul, this remains an unresolved business matter tied to one of the most talked-about fights in recent years.
