YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is coming off a high-profile loss to Tommy Fury and his critics are coming to cash the checks.
That includes Floyd Mayweather.
Back in 2021 when Logan Paul fought Mayweather in an exhibition, his younger brother decided to snag Floyd’s hat off of his head. The world champion didn’t forget that when he spotted Jake outside Miami-Dade Arena and then decided to confront Paul, with someone close to Mayweather recording the incident on video.
“What happened? You’re not talking no more since your loss?” the man filming said in a video obtained by TMZ Sports. “What happened since your loss? Yo, are we gonna bust him up, guys? Yo, let’s bust him up. Where you running, Jake? Where you going since your fight?”
While Paul seemed to have one bodyguard with him, he became concerned when a crowd formed around him and Maywether’s group. That’s when Paul was seen booking it as far away as he could get before things took a turn.
“Oh, he’s running! He’s running! Look at him,” the voice behind the camera said. “Jake Paul running, champ! Why’s he running?”
Meanwhile, Mayweather can be seen walking in Paul’s direction but he turns and heads toward his car as the clip ends.
Paul explained why he ran off in his Instagram Story later.
I’m leaving the Miami Heat game, and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere out of some like side alley waiting for me outside of the stadium. And they’re like “so what’s up? So what’s all that talk now?” said Paul. “I’m like “first of all, what did I say to you, Floyd, I just took your hat and you’re still mad about it?” Come on, bro. And then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me to try and jump me. I’m out that *****.
“Floyd if you wanna run it one on one, no problem. I’m not dumb, okay? I’m tough I don’t need to approve my toughness, but I’m not ******* dumb. I’m not gonna sit there and try to fight 50 dudes.”
