Jake Paul gets a taste of his own medicine

Jake Paul was pleasantly surprised by the intriguing turn of events. It can even be argued that he was having flashbacks of the time when he did the same to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Paul further went on to hug Garcia and his younger brother. Composing himself, he even asked Garcia, “Did Floyd send you?”

Talking about his escapade, Garcia said, “We’re at the Jake Paul Anderson Silva Day 2 press conference. I got his hat. Got that Mayweather comeback.”

The reporter further asked him if he did the same for Mayweather. To which, Garcia nodded in agreement.
