Logan Paul claims Floyd Mayweather can ‘use some of his winnings to pay me’ as boxing legend gears up for return fight
LOGAN PAUL claimed Floyd Mayweather can "use some of his winnings to pay me" as the boxing legend prepares to fight again.
In June, Mayweather came out of retirement for an exhibition bout against Paul, which went the eight-round distance.
But the YouTuber would later allege that he was not paid the full amount of his fight purse.
Mayweather, 45, has since announced his next exhibition bout, against former sparing partner Don Moore, 42, in Dubai.
Paul, 27, told : "I think it’s great, maybe he can use some of his winnings to pay me."
Asked if he had received his fight purse, he replied: "Not in full. We're working on it."

Mayweather boasted before and after boxing Paul that he would earn $100million for what he dubbed "a legalised bank robbery."
But his opponent was allegedly left short-changed and threatened legal action.
In response, Mayweather said on : “This comes with the territory.
"To them, that’s real money, and I like the YouTubers. The money on the back end though, from pay-per-view, that takes a while.

"Nothing comes right away. I’m still collecting cheques from fights seven or eight years ago.
"They just hate when the table is turned. Be happy with the biggest payday you ever got in your life.”
Paul has not returned to the boxing ring since technically avoiding defeat against Mayweather.
Whereas the unbeaten American will face Moore on top of a HELIPAD in Dubai, where only 20 VIP fans are set to be in attendance.
