Logan Paul was left furious by the offer he received for the chain he tried to snatch off Anthony Joshua after his win over brother Jake in Miami.
'The Maverick' entered the ring and tried to take the chain from Joshua's neck in a moment which went viral.
The iced-out bling contained the logo of Polymarket, the crypto-based market platform which both Paul brothers are connected to financially.
The chain eventually ended up in the hands of Paul, who wore it around his neck as he made his entrance for the opening match of WrestleMania 42, where he turned on the debuting iShowSpeed and was splashed through the table by the streaming sensation.

Feeling as though it was bad luck after he lost, Paul attempted to pawn the luxury item, said to be worth $200,000.
In a video posted on his Instagram, Paul said: "I finally got my hands on the chain Anthony Joshua wore when he beat my brother, then I wore it to WrestleMania this weekend but Speed put me through a table so as far as I'm concerned, this thing is bad luck. Today we're going to try to pawn it."
Upon entry to the iconic pawn shop in Las Vegas, Paul told owner and stern negotiator Rick Harrison: "I have something really special, this is a Polymarket chain that Anthony Joshua wore when he was mean to my brother. I actually wore this out to WrestleMania this weekend as well."
He explained that the chain was 110 carats of gold but was effectively a "breakup chain" after his incident with Speed.
But despite looking for big bucks, Harrison was not having it and said it was a "limited market" as he said, "who wants a chain that says Polymarket on it?".
Logan said he would be happy with a fee between $100,000 and $120,000 but Rick, known for playing hard-ball, offered $30,000.
He then told the WWE tag team champion: "You can keep it or you can continue to have bad luck or you can have $30,000 and not have bad luck."
Harrison also said he would take the diamonds out, which infuriated Paul, who fumed: "Bro, stop. Rick, don't lowball me."
Despite being incredibly reluctant, he did take the $30,000 offer and stated: "I want you to know I'm not happy about this deal".
Paul's fee was much lower than what he made from a record $16.49 million sale of a rare Pokemon card back in February.
The YouTuber made more than $10 million in profit after buying it back in 2021 and wearing it around his neck in a diamond-crusted chain in his WrestleMania debut back in 2022.
