LOGAN PAUL has revealed he’s been paid some of his purse for his exhibition bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.

The YouTuber turned boxer locked horns with Mayweather in an eight-rounder last June but only recently received some of his paycheque for the Miami melee.

And The Maverick is still seething that the mega-rich Moneyman hasn’t stumped up all of the cash.

During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he said: “I’ve not been paid in full, that is a fact. We’re just trying to collect what is rightfully ours.

“He came out and said this is the name of the game, this is how it works in boxing but I don’t know if it is, I don’t know if that’s true.

“I think after you fight you should get paid, it doesn’t take this long to count the money.

“I don’t know [how much it is] but I know it’s not everything. It’s large enough for me to make a fuss about.

‘For the longest time, I bit my f***ing tongue. We heard it every week, ‘The money’s coming next week, the money’s coming next week’.

“Three months in I realised the money’s not coming next week, so I’m offended and I’ve been lied to.

“I never thought I’d be the ‘Where’s the money?’ guy, but the only way to get this guy to move is to pipe up and embarrass him.

‘It feels unfair and i just want to make things right.”

Mayweather, 45, recently claimed Paul’s delayed purse was par for the course.

During an appearance on The Pivot Podcast, he said: “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.”

Neither man has set foot inside the ring since their exhibition, which went the distance.

Former five-weight world champ Mayweather was recently linked with another exhibition with Dubai-based YouTuber Money Kicks but the bout didn’t come to fruition.

Paul, meanwhile is set to make his WWE debut at Wrestlemania 38 in a Tag Team match against Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
