Logan Paul has admitted he is considering taking legal action against Floyd Mayweather after failing to receive payment for their fight back in June.

The outspoken duo traded blows in an exhibition bout at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida – a fight which ended in a draw.

It seems as though a resolution outside of the ring is still yet to be reached, with the YouTube star now claiming he is yet to receive payment for the fight.

‘Money’ Mayweather has reached unprecedented heights as a businessman due to his incredible boxing talents and 50-0 record, but now the 44-year-old is under scrutiny.

“I don’t think we did yet,” Paul told TMZ on Thursday about filing a potential lawsuit against Mayweather.

“It's honestly bull****," Logan continued. “Like, having people who aren't a professional promotional company control where the money goes, we made that mistake.”

"It's Floyd Mayweather,” Paul added. “Before we fought him, we were kind of willing to do whatever.

“Now after the fact, we're kind of shooting ourselves in the foot because he's a "f****** scumbag.”

The fight was promoted by Mayweather Promotions and distributed by broadcasting giants Showetime, with reports suggesting it generated in the region of one million buys.

Little brother Jake Paul has embarked on a boxing career of his own, also looking after Amanda Serrano’s and sorting out her fight with Katie Taylor at Madison Square Garden.

And the 25-year-old reaffirmed what his sibling said and called the multiple-weight champion ‘embarrassing’.

“[Mayweather] really hasn’t [paid Logan],” said Jake at the Serrano vs Taylor press conference. “There’s a lawsuit that was opened up last week or two weeks ago.

“They’re pressuring him both legally and behind-the-scenes, but it’s embarrassing for Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather to not have enough money to pay my brother.”
