In a move that should surprise no one, Logan Paul tagged Floyd Mayweather in one of his IG story posts saying “Pay me my f*ckin money you corny weasel of a human!” wow, so I guess the Austin McBroom isn’t the only one not paying fighters for their time in the ring!
So far there has been no comment from Mayweather but that does beg the question, why on earth is it Mayweather’s job to pay Logan Paul his earnings? We were under the impression that the promoters took care of all that, but the way Logan is directly calling out Mayweather it would seem that he is holding things up somehow?
Can he do that?
Usually no. Usually paying the participants of a fight is up to the promoter, unless Paul and Mayweather had a side bet going that no one knew about and that’s what he meant. Considering the shady nature of fighting sports, that wouldn’t be surprising.
Logan Paul hits up Floyd Mayweather for money
Also, let’s face it, Logan Paul started off as an online influencer first and a fighter second. Did he train hard in order to earn that second title? You could say that, yes.
But in all honesty this sounds like a ploy to just start beef with Floyd and get him more attention online. Fighters, last time we checked, did not actually handle any of the proceeds that they got from the fight.
It also sounds like something Logan Paul would do, just to drum up drama between he and Mayweather and garner a lot of attention from fans online about it.
If he really wants his money, then perhaps he should be tracking down the name of the promoter who organized the fight, Leonard Ellerbe, though he has gone on record before saying that Mayweather is ‘his own boss’ so maybe that is where Paul is getting his information from.
Ellerbe has also gone on the record as saying that Mayweather didn’t take the fight between he and Logan Paul seriously and Paul was lucky that Mayweather didn’t go through a full training camp before the event.. if that is true (and we suspect it is) then it’s no wonder that the fight turned out the way it did. We’ll see which round this goes to. Stay tuned!!!
