LOGAN PAUL is ‘figuring out the paycheque’ amid his pay row with Floyd Mayweather and is ‘going for’ the boxing legend’s chains.

Paul last June faced Mayweather in a shock exhibition bout which went the full eight-round distance.

But the YouTube star has since claimed to have not been fully paid – and has been left to chase it up.

Paul, 26, told TMZ Sport: “We’re figuring out the paycheque.

“I’m going for Floyd’s chains, he got two around his neck, two big ones that I like. Those are the ones that I’m going for.”

The exhibition sold over 1million pay-per-views and Mayweather, 45, boasted of earning $100m (£75m).

But Paul alleged that his purse has not entirely been paid, now nine months on.

He said on the MMA Hour: “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.”

Mayweather has only once addressed the accusations, while 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.”
