Logan Paul claims KSI trilogy fight will compensate for money that Floyd Mayweather "stole" from him
Logan Paul has claimed that his trilogy fight with KSI will help make up for the money that legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. "stole" from him.
Paul and Mayweather fought to a no-result in an eight-round exhibition bout at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on June 6, 2021. Showtime Sports, which broadcast the event, reportedly sold around one million pay-per-views.
'The Maverick' recently revealed that he has still not been paid by 'Money' for the fight. A Daily Star article pointed out that Mayweather can buy Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' $65 million-worth Gulfstream G650ER private jet with what he earned in the Paul bout.
The 26-year-old internet personality took the opportunity to pull the leg of 'Pretty Boy' on social media. He all but confirmed that the KSI vs. Logan Paul trilogy will take place in 2022 ahead of the official announcement on January 4:
"Yeah, because the dirty little rat hasn’t paid me yet lol. It’s been 6 months. But no worries @Floydmayweather, @KSI and I are going to make back the money you stole from me & more. January 4," Paul posted.
