Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather was one of the most anticipated fights of 2021. Billed as “Bragging Rights”, the bout took place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. But it ended up being a controversial match as Paul accused Mayweather of not giving him his share of the money. 

Furthermore, Paul mentioned in the ‘True Geordie’ podcast, “There was a press conference or something the other day. And he (Floyd Mayweather) had the audacity to tell the media that I asked for a rematch.”

He further added, “Let me just set the record straight. Why the f**k would I ask for a rematch? For someone who doesn’t pay you for the fight. If I haven’t been paid for the first one, why on God’s green earth, would I ask you for a second fight knowing damn well that I’m probably not gonna get paid the money that I was owed for my work. You dumba**. Second of, they asked us for a rematch.” 

Apparently, the YouTuber is not at all interested in a sequel with Mayweather, as he has not paid Paul’s share of the money the first time.
