Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul got into a huge brawl at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. This was after a heated press conference between the boxing legend and Paul’s older brother Logan Paul. They are set to collide in an exhibition bout on June 6.
Things quickly turned physical when Jake went closer to Mayweather and started exchanging words with the fighter. He then pulled off the boxing legend’s cap, angering Mayweather and instigating a huge brawl. Floyd later commented on the brawl. He said, “It’s one thing to sell a fight, and people can say what they want, but one thing no one is going to do, disrespects me.”

Logan has fought once as a professional, losing on points to social media rival KSI in a rematch of their earlier white-collar bout. He was asked to share his thoughts on what transpired after his press conference.
Logan said, “This s*** is so personal; this s*** was going to be kind of cute and we were going to put on a good show. But now it’s going to be a f****** fight, it’s going to be a war. Floyd looked pretty emotional, he can act cool all he likes on stage but I think my brother is doing my job for me.”
It will be Mayweather’s first outing since his first-round KO of Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasakawa in a similar fight in 2018.
