The rivalry between Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul caught fire right at its inception.

However, ‘Money’ couldn’t hold back either and lashed out at the YouTuber.

Adding a caption to that image, the 43-year-old wrote, “Jake Paul is talking about he don’t do exhibitions, them two bulls**t boxing matches he had were exhibitions. They were not against real professional boxers.”

A day ago, Mayweather took it to his social handle stating he’d fight Paul only if he gets past Ben Askren on April 17. Not only that, but he revealed that he would take multiple exhibition fights this year. Earlier, the undefeated boxer would have fought Logan Paul on February 20, but the bout got postponed.
