FLOYD MAYWEATHER earned over £1.6million per punch against Logan Paul after landing 43 times in the exhibition.

Mayweather boasted of making £72m ($100) for his pay-per-view exhibition against YouTube star Paul.

But as he failed to score a knockout, no winner was declared and to the shock of many went the full eight round distance.

With 43 punches connecting during the fight, it meant Mayweather banked £1.6m per punch, according to website Bonusfinder.

The American legend was more profitable with his time in the ring against Paul, 26, than he was with Manny Pacquiao, 42, and Conor McGregor, 33.

Mayweather, 44, beat long-time rival Pacquiao on points in 2015 and reports add that it saw him earn £1.3m per punch landed.

He connected 148 times on the Filipino icon and walked away with a purse close to £192.5m.

And against ex-UFC champion McGregor – his last professional bout – he landed 170 times.

It earned him just over £1.2m per shot due to his estimated £211m overall purse.

Paul landed only 28 times against Mayweather in a fight he was rumoured to have been paid £10m for.

It meant he would have pocketed £357,143 for every time he caught his iconic and unbeaten opponent.

Paul won the praise of UFC president Dana White, who said his friend Mayweather ‘knew he looked old’.

White told Nelk Boys: “Have you ever met Floyd Mayweather in person? He’s f***ing tiny, man.

“He’s tiny, and Logan’s f***ing big, too. But, I thought he did a good job tying Floyd up, not letting Floyd get off when he was.

“And Floyd looked old that night, too. And I think Floyd knew he looked old that night.”
