Logan Paul is still not fully paid for his boxing exhibition with Floyd Mayweather, his podcast host claimed.
The YouTuber and boxing legend boxed eight rounds in Miami in June, ending the spectacle without a winner.

Mayweather claimed to have earned $100 million (£72million) before and after for the exhibition – which he dubbed a ‘legitimate bank robbery’.
But Paul has since taken to social media alleging that he owed the retired boxer with the nickname ‘Money’.
In response to an article about Mayweather’s estate, Paul tweeted: “Yeah, because the dirty little mouse hasn’t paid me yet. It’s been 6 months.
“But no worries @Floydmayweather, @KSI and I are going to return the money you stole and more. Jan 4th.”
Paul, 26, later announced that, along with former boxing rival KSI, 28, they have launched a beverage brand called ‘Prime Hydration’.
But her allegations against Mayweather – which have yet to be answered – have gained traction and her Impulsive podcast co-host Mike Mazlak was questioned on the subject.

When asked on The Daily Stardust whether Paul was paid by Mayweather, Mazlak replied: “I think he paid for some of it. But I don’t think he paid for it in full.”
“She still owes him something. They’re working on it right now.”
The exhibition bout reportedly garnered over 1 million pay-per-view buys at $49.99, meaning more than $50m was generated in box office sales alone.
Mayweather, 44, officially retired in 2017 after defeating 33-year-old UFC superstar Conor McGregor in a lucrative crossover bout.

But he has returned twice, in both appearances, starting with a round of demolition work on featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 23.
He then returned to face social media star Paul, who weighed two stone more, and avoided a knockout defeat.
Mayweather is now in talks to fight ‘money kicks’ a 19-year-old YouTuber based in Dubai in the Middle East on February 20.
Meanwhile Paul, who was drawn to KSI in 2018 but lost a rematch a year later, is yet to return to the ring.
