Jake Paul, the popular YouTuber-turned-boxer, seems to be constantly embroiled in controversies. His latest run-in was with none other than former five-division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Paul has a knack for getting into altercations with people, and it appears that everyone wants to take a shot at him. The incident reportedly occurred as Paul was leaving a basketball game, and Mayweather Jr. jumped him with 50 other men.
Fortunately, Paul was able to leave the area without any further escalation.
Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his “exhibitions”. Now he ambushes me 🤣. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bullshit.

Despite the incident, it is unlikely that Paul will back down from a challenge. He has built his brand around being a fighter and a provocateur, and he is always looking for ways to stay in the public eye.
This incident with Mayweather Jr. could potentially lead to a future boxing match between the two, which would undoubtedly generate a great deal of buzz and publicity.
Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Jake Paul is never far from the center of attention.
Following their altercation outside the FTX arena on Wednesday night, the 26-year-old issued a challenge to Mayweather Jr. Despite the excitement of the proposition, fans have not expressed enthusiasm for Paul’s proposal to the undefeated champion.
