Despite Not Getting Paid, Logan Paul Says ‘It’s Tough to Lose Respect’ for Floyd Mayweather

Logan Paul seemingly earned the biggest achievement of his boxing career when he traded shots against ‘TBE’ Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition scrap in June 2021. Having achieved zero wins in the sport, Paul was a mere prize fighter coming from the Internet sphere.

Hence, he was more on the beneficial side when Mayweather came up with the offer to lock horns in the ring. Well, the aftermath of the fight didn’t sit well between both sides. Paul accused Mayweather of stealing his money. Per reports, Logan Paul was supposed to make around $20 million, which he doesn’t seem to have made.

While Logan Paul has verbally attacked Floyd Mayweather several times on social media, he doesn’t seem to have lost any respect for the five-division undefeated champion. In a chat with Sports Illustrated, ‘The Maverick’ freshly shared views on Mayweather.

He said, “It’s tough to lose respect for someone who’s so good at what they do. Just pay me my money. This is a temporary problem, this is a temporary problem right. Check clears, we good. You will never hear from me again. You go do your thing. I will go do my thing. That’s it.”

Well, Mayweather had already responded to Logan Paul’s accusation. He suggested the 26-year-old wait on receiving full payments as he cited that as the process of how payrolls work in the sport of boxing. Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather is looking to re-appear in the ring again.
