Floyd Mayweather told Logan Paul he should be happy with the biggest payday of his life

• Logan Paul called Floyd Mayweather a "fucking scumbag."
• It followed remarks earlier this year that the boxing legend "stole" from him.

Floyd Mayweather responded to Logan Paul's claims he was never paid for their 2021 boxing exhibition by telling him he should "be happy" with "the biggest payday" of his life.

The former five-weight champion, a legendary figure in his sport, engaged the internet celebrity in an unofficial eight-round bout at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Paul survived the distance in a relatively unremarkable show that concluded an ongoing promotional saga in which Logan's brother Jake Paul stole Mayweather's hat and was threatened with death.

"I'll kill that mother-fucker," Mayweather said, storming up and down the halls of the stadium in the build-up to the Showtime pay-per-view event.

The people closest to Mayweather told Insider at the time that they had never seen him angrier than when Jake Paul snatched his hat.

Six months after the event, Paul claimed Mayweather was yet to pay his exhibition fee. "It's been six months," he said, claiming the 44-year-old had "stole" from him.

Elaborating to TMZ Sports earlier this month, Paul called the ordeal "bullshit."

He said: "Like, having people who aren't a professional promotional company control where the money goes, we made that mistake.

"It's Floyd Mayweather. 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 fucking scumbag."

Logan Paul's friend and podcaster Andrew Schulz said on his show in January that Mayweather "owes him probably between 5 and 10 million dollars."

Such claims "come with the territory," Mayweather said this week

Mayweather addressed the allegations on the YouTube show "The Pivot Podcast."

He said accusations such as Paul's "comes with the territory" of taking part in mass-interest events that are broadcast at the Box Office.

"To them, that's real money, and I like the YouTubers," he said.

"The money on the back end though, from pay-per-view, that takes a while. Nothing comes right away."

Mayweather said: "I'm still collecting checks 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."
