It is more than clear that the Paul brothers are crazy attention seekers and love to be in the spotlight all the time. And we cannot blame them for this. It obviously is their way of doing business. Logan Paul, the new boxer, and ex YouTuber is now taking on the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather.
“We’re taking this one to court. See you in the courtroom. Congrats on going to prison, Floyd.” – Logan Paul says. The Youtube star is now claiming that he did not receive the funds in full for his bout against Floyd Mayweather back in June last year.

“No, he has not paid me in full. That is a fact as he is short by a few million,” Logan says to TMZ.
This happens recently, however, is not the first time that the Youtuber is asking to receive the remaining of the money. He spoke several weeks after the fight for the first time, and now from time to time he likes to bring this back and do this ‘sort of defamation’ for the boxer.
“Surely I was going to get my check fairly quickly, right? I’m sure it’ll come eventually. Then I realized ‘Ok, I’m being strung along’. This is a classic ‘Hey, buddy, you’re the new guy in this industry, we’re gonna puppeteer you, however, we want with your money so hop on for the ride and shut up’. But, this time instead of shutting up, I make fun of him on social media and let everyone know that he doesn’t have any money. I kind of joke. I’m facetious, and I point the finger at Floyd.” Logan says.
“But I don’t know if it’s his fault. Maybe a little bit, right? But something tells me Floyd doesn’t control where the money goes. Or maybe he does and he’s just a fucking asshole. There’s an opportunity cost with me when I don’t have fees that are rightfully mine. I’m an entrepreneur, a businessman. I am creative with my money. The X millions that he hasn’t paid me by now could have tripled, quadrupled. I’m good with money. I can make more of it if I have a little, a lot.” – the YouTuber slams.
Nevertheless, Floyd is not denying this claim. On the contrary, he recently acknowledges it.
“This comes with the territory. To them, that’s real money, and I like the YouTubers. The money on the back end though, from pay-per-view, 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.” – the boxer finishes the conversation.
So even though the money is not paid in full, Mayweather is sure that they will get paid as soon as possible. If the ‘procedure’ for getting money from these pay-per-view programs is such, what can the boxer do? Logan needs to be patient. Or take it to court. That way he will get more publicity.
What do you think, which way will the Youtuber choose?
