Floyd Mayweather Jr. is calling his upcoming fight with Logan Paul a “legalized bank robbery” because of how much money he stands to make from the exhibition boxing bout.
By Mayweather’s estimation, he’s already cashed an eight-figure paycheck before even taping up his hands for the Showtime pay-per-view bout against the YouTube and social media star that goes down this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Speaking to Showtime Sports at a media day on Friday, Mayweather—a multiple-time world boxing champion who retired with an unblemished pro record of 50-0—laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
