Logan Paul has again confirmed his plan to take legal action against Floyd Mayweather as their row over his fight purse remains unresolved.
The YouTube star shared the ring with the boxing legend last June in a hugely successful exhibition fight, which sold around one million pay-per-views and generated huge revenue. Paul was expected to be paid a purse of around $15million from the fight with the boxing legend pocketing a mega $65m from the event, but the content creator has alleged he is yet to be paid the full amount.
Paul has threatened legal action on multiple occasions during their war of words over the final payment, which the boxing legend has strongly dismissed claiming he is even waiting for some of his own final purse amounts. However Paul has insisted the situation remains ongoing and he is hoping for a resolution to be found in court.
"Nah we are still working on it," Paul told FightHype when asked for an update on the situation between himself and former rival Mayweather. "He didn't pay me, there is a lawsuit pending and I am done talking about it. See you in court team Floyd."
Paul survived the eight-round distance in the ring with Mayweather last year where he certainly held up his end of the bargain by entertaining the fans in their boxing showcase. However Paul alleged Mayweather had not fulfilled his side of the deal and was yet to pay him in full for his role in the event.
Who do you think Logan Paul should fight in his boxing return? Let us know in the comments section below
The 27-year-old threatened to take legal action against Mayweather to which the retired star claimed there is likely to be a delay in a similar way to his own purses from other boxing bouts. The situation continued a trading of verbal barbs between the pair, with Mayweather's uncle Roger even wading into the feud and calling for his nephew to pay his opponent.
Paul later reiterated his stance hitting out at 'Money' after he suggested that his opponent had even reached out to find an agreement for a second meeting. And Mayweather continued to dismiss the "bull***" claims and believes his rival remains in search of another payday.
"This is the guy who said he didn't get paid which we know is truly false, which is why I don't entertain the bull**** a lot of the time," he said. "We know he got paid and if he didn't get paid he wouldn't be trying to get another payday. It is so crazy that Logan Paul wants to do an exhibition again but it is the same guy that said he didn't get paid. It is what it is."
