Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather are poised to be involved in a court dispute some months after they fought in an eight-round exhibition match.
According to TMZ, Paul intends to sue Mayweather, alleging that he has yet to be paid for the bout that drew over one million pay-per-view sales last summer.
“It’s honestly bullshit,” Paul told the outlet on Thursday. “Like, having people who aren’t a professional promotional company control where the money goes, we made that mistake.”
The YouTuber-turned-boxer added, “It’s Floyd Mayweather. Before we fought him, we were kind of willing to do whatever. Now after the fact, we’re kind of shooting ourselves in the foot because he’s a “fucking scumbag.”
Although Paul hasn’t said how much money he owes, he told TMZ in May that he would receive 10% of PPV shares, which was estimated to be approximately $5 million at the time.
Jake Paul, according to the Mirror, spoke on his brother’s behalf during a recent London news appearance.
“He really hasn’t [paid Logan],” Jake told the media. “There’s a lawsuit that was opened up last week or two weeks ago. They’re pressuring him both legally and behind-the-scenes, but it’s embarrassing for Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather to not have enough money to pay my brother.”
