Was the confrontation that took place earlier this week between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather merely a farce, or was it more of a case of each individual issuing a challenge to the other for a fight? There are a lot of various angles from which to look at what happened, but Dana White is very clear about where he stands.

According to a member of Floyd’s team, this wasn’t about grabbing a hat rather this was about Jake crossing the line and his comments to Floyd about Floyd’s deceased family member and other below-the-belt inappropriate behavior.
What was Dana White’s reaction to the altercation?
During an interview with TMZ Sports, UFC President Dana White was asked about the altercation between Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul.
Dana, who is simply the right person to interpret what is going on between two fighters by watching what they are doing, does not believe it was anything more than a stunt.
“I just can’t see Floyd doing that. I can’t see Floyd rolling up on somebody and doing that. It’s not Floyd’s style. It’s not really his personality. I thought it was a skit.” said White.

“I’m not buying it. When’s the last time you saw Floyd Mayweather act like a thug and roll up on somebody with 50 people? That’s just not what Floyd does. Yeah, I’m not buying it.” Dana further added.

Jake responded to the event on his social media platforms, however, Pretty Boy after Wednesday did not say anything about the reasons behind him charging after the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
“You wanna run it one on one, no problem. But I’m not dumb. Okay? I’m tough, I don’t need to prove my toughness., but I’m not f*cking dumb. I’m not gonna sit there and try to fight 50 dudes.“ Jake said.
