Jake Paul was recently confronted by Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the former tried to leave the stadium after the Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game. According to Paul, some “50 dudes” along with ‘TBE’ tried to stop him as he looked to exit. Fortunately, no one received any injuries and Paul left before the incident went out of hand. Later, ‘The Problem Child’ narrated the incident on Instagram informing people what Mayweather tried to do to him.

Following the incident, UFC veteran Chael Sonnen condemned Floyd Mayweather who allegedly tried to attack Jake Paul with others accompanying him. Sonnen believes what Mayweather did is highly problematic. According to Sonnen, it is a crime that Mayweather has committed knowingly or unknowingly. “There’s all sorts of problems with it. First off, it is Floyd and it is people with him. This is a crime, this is disgusting, and this is cowardly what they did,” said Sonnen on his YouTube channel condemning ‘TBE’.
