Paul‘s manager, Jeff Levin, spoke to ESPN about the probabilities of this fight. He said, “We just haven’t got there yet.”

Silva, who took up a pro-boxing bout against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. last month, shook the boxing masses by going toe-to-toe against the Mexican boxing star. The 46-year-old even pulled off an upset by claiming a split decision win. With that, the ex-UFC star proved his mettle and showed what he’s capable of.

The celebrity boxing sensation did work tremendously hard for his fight against Mayweather. However, given Silva’s physical stature and overall fight skills, Paul will have to bring in more than his usual boxing prowess.
