“He hasn’t really paid him. There is a lawsuit that was opened last week or two weeks ago. They’re putting pressure on him legally and behind the scenes, but it’s shameful that Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather doesn’t have enough money to pay my brother,” Jake Paul told a news conference in London.
Mayweather’s response
For his part, Floyd Mayweather has told Logan Paul that “it will be a while” before he receives the rest of the money for his fight.

“In your world money flows easily. For them, this is real money, and I like YouTubers. However, money in boxing, on the back end, from pay-per-view, takes a while. Nothing comes out right away. I’m still cashing fight checks seven or eight years ago, so he’s (Logan Paul) going to have to wait a while for his money to come through,” the boxing legend revealed on The Pivot Podcast.
