UFC Star Jorge Masvidal Taken Aback by ‘Payment’ Controversy

Former five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the most iconic names in the sports. And this iconic status comes with its own array of issues. Rcently, UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal shared a rather intriguing post about Mayweather.

Mayweather faced Logan Paul for an exhibition bout at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on June 6, 2021. The bout billed as ‘Bragging Rights’, was a non-scored event that sold over one million pay-per-view buys.

The fight went the complete eight-round distance. Even though there was no winner, the bout was a true display of Mayweather’s boxing prowess. Many fans even felt that the bout was a one-sided affair, with Mayweather landing a majority of the shots.

Paul later went on to accuse Mayweather of not paying him for the fight. He even asked Mayweather for a rematch. It can be said that Mayweather was not too happy with these accusations. Talking about the same, he said, “You see these guys constantly bringing up Floyd Mayweather’s name on the internet just trying to get clout.”

Meanwhile, Masvidal recently shared a post stating that Mayweather spent Paul’s payment on cars. He even expressed his shock about the same. But it should be said that the content of the article did not mention Mayweather spending Paul’s money on cars. It was rather about Paul’s plans to sue Mayweather for not paying him.
