Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has been doing constant exhibition fights after his retirement in 2017. Even at the age of 46, Mayweather is not ready to stop. He wants to keep going on. But his last exhibition match, which took place on Feb 25 in the UK, did not go as planned. Well, one of those reasons for its failure is the overlapping of the Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight and his exhibition match. So in Mayweather’s fight against Aaron Chalmers, not a lot of people showed up.

There were many empty seats in the O2 arena, which was a bit of an embarrassing situation for ‘Money’. And somewhere in his mind, Mayweather could blame Jake Paul for this. Nevertheless, in a recent tweet of ‘The Problem Child’, it’s pointing in the direction that Floyd Mayweather is not happy with him, and he may have tried to intimidate Jake outside the ring.

Now, recently, Jake Paul has claimed that Floyd Mayweather has tried to jump him with 24 men standing in solidarity with him. So Paul took to Twitter and stated that he was ready to fight Mayweather inside the ring, face-to-face. But he asked ‘Money’ to drop these intimidation techniques, especially when he’s simply trying to enjoy his Wednesday night.

He wrote in his tweet, “Floyd if you want to fight 1 on 1 we can do that but don’t try to hop out of 3 cars 25 dudes deep tryna to jump me while I’m tryna enjoy my Wednesday night“.

Jake Paul, recently, faced the first loss of his career at the hands of Tommy Fury, but that did not faze Paul as much. As he’s still pretty confident about his adroitness as a boxer. Well, it also seems that he’s also quite successful in selling his fights. Recently, he also revealed his 30 million dollar payout from the Tommy Fury fight. He may have even surpassed Mayweather in the PPV buys in his last fight.

In the press conference of his previous exhibition match, Mayweather talked about the potential fight against ‘The Problem Child’. He said, “We spoke to Jake Paul before and we can only do an exhibition because of the weight disadvantage. I can’t get up to 180-190 pounds. My body just wouldn’t let me.
