Jake Paul broke into the news headlines yet again after entering a brawl with the boxing elite, Floyd Mayweather. ‘The Problem Child’ went to support his elder brother, Logan Paul, for a press conference with ‘Money’ ahead of their June 6 fight. But he abruptly met Mayweather backstage, wherein the duo engaged in a war of words and ended up in a brawl.

The prime reason this tussle escalated was that Jake Paul tried to snatch Mayweather’s hat, which left the latter livid. Post the brawl, the quirky Jake Paul left everyone in shock when he tattooed the verb he used against Mayweather, ‘Gotcha Hat’.

Michael Benson shared a video of Jake Paul imitating the UFC star Conor McGregor. In this video, he said, “Yeah after like thinking about it, I just wanna say like, I apologize for my behavior. And I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have acted that way. And you can suck my n**s, I’m just kidding.”
