Jake Paul, in his early days in boxing, has become a cosmic center of attention. A few months back, he even entered a scathing brawl with boxing icon Floyd Mayweather. Ever since then, he has solidified his position in the hardcore boxing fans’ minds, too.

Recently, ‘The Problem Child’, in an exclusive chat with The Colin Cowherd Podcast, spoke about his arch-rival, Floyd Mayweather, his influence in boxing, and more.

Jake Paul said, “I agree on certain levels you know, he has brought this like weird flashy sort of materialistic. You know, everything’s about money and strippers and he’s brought that to the sport, and that was all it knew, all the sport knew for many, many years. And I don’t think that’s really what the sport is about at the end of the day.”
