Logan Paul outlines $10 million pre-sale allegation
Logan Paul claimed Floyd Mayweather finalized a significant deal related to the contest before it was ultimately staged in the United States.
According to Paul, the agreement involved rights tied to his name and likeness. Paul asserted that his compensation was structured as a percentage of that arrangement.
"He pre-sold the fight using my name and likeness to a company, I think in Dubai or somewhere in the Middle East, for $10,000,000 cash."
"We ended up doing the fight in the US with a different company. That's the company that put on the fight, but he had already sold our fight to someone else for $10 million in cash."

"Our deal was 15%, he smoked me. 15% of $10,000,000 is $1,500,000. The company that paid him $10M is suing him. He has a bunch of legal trouble at the moment. I don't think I'm ever getting the money."
