If Miami seems like an odd place to hold a major boxing event, it wasn’t the first choice for Floyd Mayweather Jr. for his upcoming exhibition fight with Logan Paul. The former multiple time world champion and unbeaten boxing talent had originally planned to hold the fight in Dubai.
That’s according to a recent report from TMZ Sports, who revealed the planned location as part of a newly filed lawsuit on behalf of Mayweather Promotions. It appears representatives of the welterweight boxer are looking to claim as much as $122.6 million in damages from event company PAC Entertainment Worldwide over what they claim to be a breach of contract.
