According to the deal, Logan Paul was promised a 10% cut in revenue generated by PPV. He was estimated to make about $20 Million after the fight. However, he didn’t even earn close to that.

After fighting ‘Money’ Mayweather, he could only yield a million dollars, which is very less compared to Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, who minted heavy money fighting the same opponent.
