The Logan Paul-Floyd Mayweather fight should have meant an even bigger payday for Paul, but Mayweather is keeping money from him.

Logan Paul is a full-time WWE superstar after signing a new contract in January 2026. For the three years prior to that, Paul was a part-timer who was often criticized for it, but this year he has proven his commitment to WWE by appearing on Raw weekly and wrestling on most PLE shows.

In June 2021, Logan Paul fought legendary boxing champion (and one-time WWE wrestler) Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition fight, with no winner declared, even though Mayweather “won” the fight for those who saw it.

During an appearance on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Logan Paul said he is owed millions of dollars by Mayweather.

“No, I didn’t make as much money as you’d think fighting Floyd. He still owes me a million and a half. Maybe more.

He pre-sold the fight using my likeness to some company in I think Dubai or like the Middle East, this is my understanding of it, for 10 million dollars cash.

We ended up doing the fight in the States with a different company. That is the company that put on the fight. That is the company that paid, but he sold our fight with my name and likeness to someone else in Dubai for 10 million dollars cash. It’s our fight, bro.”

Logan Paul Doesn’t Expect To Get His Money From Floyd Mayweather

As he continued, Logan Paul spoke about how Mayweather is dealing with financial problems now, so Paul doesn’t think Mayweather will pay what Paul is owed.

“Our deal was 15 percent. He smoked me. So I got 15 percent of it. 15 percent of 10 million dollars is 1.5 million dollars. That company that paid him that money is suing him.

I actually don’t know the status on that lawsuit. I should check in. He has a bunch of legal trouble at the moment. I don’t think I’m ever getting the money.” (H/T Wrestlingnewsco)

Regarding his WWE career, Logan Paul had a busy night at Elimination Chamber in Chicago since he picked up three pinfalls in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match. However, Paul was attacked by the mysterious masked man, who hit Paul with The Stomp.

After Cody Rhodes pinned Paul, the masked man revealed himself to be the returning Seth Rollins, who got his revenge on The Vision for turning on him last October when Rollins suffered a shoulder injury.

It has been rumored that Paul could face Rollins at WrestleMania 42, but it also depends on if Bron Breakker is able to return to face Rollins at WrestleMania instead.
