Logan Paul is taking his past boxing match with Floyd Mayweather to the courtroom, claiming he still hasn’t gotten paid for their exhibition fight in June, TMZ Sports reports.

"It’s honestly bull----," Paul said to TMZ outside Saddle Ranch on Thursday. "Like, having people who aren’t a professional promotional company control where the money goes, we made that mistake … It’s Floyd Mayweather. Before we fought him, we were kind of willing to do whatever. Now after the fact, we’re kind of shooting ourselves in the foot because he’s a fu---ing s---bag."

Ahead of the fight, Mayweather’s group — Mayweather Promotions — sued Paul for $120 million claiming that initial discussions of the fight slated the event to take place in Dubai, and we all know the event later took place in Miami.
