Recalling his money dispute with Mayweather, ‘The Maverick’ gave a piece of advice to Deji. In a sarcastic tone, he suggested the fellow YouTuber should ask for the payday before going into the contest.

Why did Logan Paul suggest Deji get paid upfront?

To understand Paul’s deep message, we have to recall his highly anticipated exhibition with Mayweather.

After retiring from the sport in 2017, the former five-weight division has kept himself engaged in an alternative career in the form of exhibitions. Interestingly, it offered him to remain connected with the sport and allowed him to make hefty paydays.

In the process, he decided to square off with the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter, in June 2021, at the Hard Rock Stadium. Regardless of the size difference, confident in his skills, Mayweather met the Ohio-based boxer. Before the showdown, both did a great job of promoting the event, which turned out to be a big success. In the name of business, it did quite well and generated millions.

Following the fight, a misunderstanding between the duo led to a big dispute. Paul accused Mayweather of not giving a big share of his payday. On the other hand, Mayweather denied of involving in such fraud and claimed that everything regarding the fight purse was already made clear.

Years have passed the duo could not resolve the matters.
