Dillon Danis tells Piers Morgan he earned more than $1million for Logan Paul fight but TalkTV pulls him up on bet
Dillon Danis may have been beaten by Logan Paul, but he walked away with a hefty payday for his troubles.
The MMA fighter was disqualified in the final round of his boxing match with Paul when a mass brawl broke out in the ring, but he would have lost the bout anyway, as he was being comfortably out-boxed by the social media star.
Danis was asked how much he would have to pay Paul, as Morgan pulled out a giant blank cheque for him to fill out.
"We actually are making an appeal, though, so it actually might be a win for me because he punched me on the ground," Danis, wearing a Stone Cold Steve Austin T-shirt, explained.

"So, with the appeal I might be the winner."
Morgan then asked him again how much he would have to pay Paul if he did hand over his entire purse and Danis replied: "Over a million dollars."
This comes after it was reported that Danis' fight with Logan Paul, alongside KSI vs Tommy Fury which was on the same card, did 1.3 million pay-per-view buys.
The DAZN pay-per-view cost $54.99 in America and £19.99 in the UK and the revenue generated, not including ticket sales and sponsorship's, is estimated to be around £26m.
And so it is no surprise that Danis will be taking home a cut worth over a million dollars.
However, Paul wanted to have the final say and, watching the interview on Tuesday night, posted a clip on Instagram with the caption: ";Piers violated him".
