Logan Paul REJECTS Floyd Mayweather rematch in Dubai after pay row and tells legend to ‘f*** himself’ and fight Jake

LOGAN PAUL said he rejected a rematch with Floyd Mayweather in Dubai following their pay row.

Paul in June welcomed the boxing legend back into the ring in an eight-round exhibition that went the distance.

But in the months since, the American YouTube star, 26, has alleged Mayweather, 44, is yet to pay him the full amount owed.

So when his manager Jeff Levin was approached about a rematch in the Middle East this month, they told them where to go.

Paul said on the Maverick Club: “They asked me if I wanted to fight Floyd Mayweather again, Jeff did – one of Floyd’s guys.

“I told him to f*** himself, first of all you have to pay me the rest of the money that you owe me.

“Second of all go f*** yourself, but what if I give it to Jake?”

Younger brother Jake, 25, is 5-0 as a professional boxer and started a mass brawl with Mayweather after stealing his hat in May.

Mayweather retired professionally in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 33, in ten rounds.

But exhibition comeback bouts have kept the undefeated multimillionaire in the gym and continuing to enhance his wealth.

The first came against Japanese featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 23, on New Year’s Eve in 2018.

Then two years later Paul used his TWO STONE advanatage to take Mayweather the distance, avoiding a knockout defeat.

Now the 50-0 icon is in talks with 20-year-old YouTuber Money Kicks – real name Rashed Belhasa – for an exhibition on February 20.

Mayweather is yet to confirm Belhasa as his opponent, but did announce his latest return will be staged on top of the 700ft Burj al Arab hotel HELIPAD.
