Jake Paul is flipping the script on Floyd Mayweather — issuing his own list of demands if Floyd is serious about wanting to fight him in 2021.
… so why does Jake feel like he’s got the upper hand?
Paul says it’s pretty simple … claiming Mayweather is an aging fighter who’s only taking exhibitions because he knows he would LOSE if he took another pro fight.
That’s why Jake says if Floyd is serious about a scrap, he REFUSES to do an exhibition match — it has to be a sanctioned bout that would count on both of their records.
“I’m 2 and 0 with 2 KOs with pro fights,” Jake says … “If Floyd wants to do these exhibitions, ya know … cool! But, I’m a real fighter. He has to take me seriously and I think the reason he wants to do these exhibitions is because he’s afraid to risk his legacy of his 50 and 0 record in case he were to lose.”
“But, I’m not doing the exhibition s**t. It doesn’t interest me. Those are like fake patty-cake fights.”
Of course, Floyd is set to take on Jake’s older brother, Logan, in an exhibition match later this year … and he’s also toying with the idea of fighting his former BFF, 50 Cent.
Jake says the whole thing reeks of desperation.
“This guy is out of his mind! He just calls me out, out of nowhere — same with 50 Cent! I mean, he hasn’t even fought my brother yet. It just seems like he’s losing his marbles … like what the f*** is this guy doing?!”
Jake also thinks there’s another motivating factor behind the scenes for Floyd … money!
“It just seems like this guy is money hungry. It seems like he hasn’t paid his taxes or some s**t and he just wants to fight everyone.”
But first, Jake needs to focus on his next opponent, UFC star Ben Askren — the two will step in the ring on April 17.
Despite Askren’s impressive career as an MMA fighter, Jake says he wasn’t impressed by new video of Ben hitting the heavy bag in his boxing gym.
In fact, Jake says Ben looked more like a “middle-aged Dutch woman” than a scary killing machine.
Man….. this guy is even dumber than I thought!!! He wants to fight Floyd in a sanctioned boxing match??? Does he realize he weighs 190 pounds and Floyd is about 155? Does he not know weight classes exist? Also, he’s literally bragging about being 2-0 HAHAHAH both of his “fights” were exhibitions so his actual boxing record is 0-0. The Paul brothers are the biggest douche bags on earth. It’s amazing how they get handed these big money fights while real fighters have to start at the bottom. Any top 100 cruiserweight in the world would annihilate these losers and they know it.
Jake Paul would be better off doing a cooking show off his YouTube channel instead of “acting” like a “real” fighter. The theatrical rants he blows himself up with to feed his ego is rather amusing and weak.
Mayweather broke instead off fighting YouTuber go Fight Pacquiao,Crawford or Spence and he will make more money fighting them same weight class and better opposition I stop buying Mayweather fights years ago when he change his name from pretty boy Floyd to money Mayweather when he did that on his way to 50 wins he Cherry pick fights Mayweather do us Boxing fans a Favor and Retire like u say after beating Berto it’s a lot of up and coming fighter in the game now trying to make boxing Great again
Cherry picked??? Canelo was a cherry pick??????
Why he want give Canelo a rematch 2021
he’s to old
To the author of this article, Ben askren didn’t have an impressive MMA career. He had an impressive wrestling career.
Wow an extremely undertrained limited fighter vs a ring legend Ha ha ha. Yes size always plays a factor but money Mayweather has forgotten more about boxing than both the Paul bros. Hell I’ll fight both Logan and his brother for a case of beer and I will win!
Yo Frank what up brother!!! Love your music!
Thanks bro the hits are far from over
You should star in the next Expendables movie. Make Ozzie Canseco, Jose’s brother the bad guy. : )
Actually in real boxing Floyd is 49-0. Anyone who takes the McGregor scripted fight as a 50th win ain’t a true boxing fan. Jake Paul is 100m percent correct tho when he says Floyd is taking exhibition fights because he can’t compete on a professional level against the top 3 opponents. He’s still got money tho.
But you would count it if he lost right? lol
And if this fight happens it will almost surely be scripted as well. Why risk injury when you can fool people into paying for an act?
No. Floyd is really 48-1. The first Castillo fight was a bogus decision rendered by 3 incompetent paid off judges who had filled out their scorecards before the fight even started. Yea I know Floyd won the rematch and I give him credit for that but after that it was cherry picking all the way it even took him 5 years of nightmares avoiding Manny or until Manny finally wore down and got knocked out by Marquez before signing the contract. It was not at all planned that way the way people think boxing is a very risky sport Manny could have been killed or seriously injured in the Marquez fight where his career could have ended that’s how unpredictable boxing is but Floyd got lucky with the timing and made the biggest payday while facing a not so vicious pacquiao any more.
Over rated Floyd will be broke before he’s 50 and no longer able to do these pathetic “exhibitions”…
Don’t forget and rewatch the DeLaHoya fight; DLH was the champ and pressed the action till the 8 were he slowed down i agree but no way you can give Mayweather the win at best i would give the fight a draw and DLH was way past his prime..
I’m sorry but I’m old school. These idiots like the Paul brothers are making our sport a joke. I’m not a huge Floyd fan but I respect him, I hope he b*tch smacks this punk and his brother.
No, I think Floyd is bored and starving of attention.
Floyd is scared? Next he’ll be saying he’s a fraud and who has he fought?
Like the way he uses the word “Desperate” about Floyd and that he’s “losing his marbles” PKB.
Why is Fightnews even covering this? It’s garbage
this youtuber is not a real fighter we all need to boycott this dumb shit
Jake-off is nothing but a pathetic, liberal cry-baby.
Floyd would destroy all 3 of them no matter what the weight difference is!
I’m starting to get a kick out of these Paul oddballs. They don’t know what they don’t know, which makes them dangerous idiots.
Seems like successful boxers just can’t stay away once they’ve retired. They are just notorious for comebacks. There was an NFL lineman years back who’s name is not coming to me, but in his retirement speech, he said something like “I’m not a boxer, I’m only doing this once”. Outside of Marvin Hagler, Rocky Marciano, Joe Calzaghe, and Carl Froch, can’t think of many other top guys who could resist the urge to come back . Not surprised that Floyd couldn’t stay away either. Floyd is obviously more business man than fighter these days. He’s found a way to cash in big with minimal risks with this celebrity thing. His cherished undefeated record won’t be at risk, and he’ll be fighting guys who aren’t very skilled. They won’t be getting a penny from me, but who can blame him for making what’s likely to be a few million $$ a pop on these fights?
Obviously Floyd would whoop this guy’s ass. And obviously Floyd is taking the easy payday by fighting these tomato cans. I mean seriously, wouldn’t any of us want to get paid a whole lot for easy work? HOWEVER, Jake Paul does have a point about Floyd needing money. I’m not suggesting he’s broke but let’s admit it…Floyd spends ALOT of money. And so he obviously needs to make ALOT of money to maintain his current lifestyle. I don’t care how much money Floyd has made, his lifestyle is simply unsustainable during the course of his whole life. It’s pretty obvious to me that he spends more than he has earned and still earns. He’s only in his 40’s so at this rate there is now way he can avoid downsizing in his 60’s if not his 50’s. Something is going to give and it’s his bank account. So there is truth that Floyd needs money. He will always be in need of money. And he will obviously whoop Jake Paul’s ass while collecting that check for another supercar, watch, mansion, fur coat…
Is Floyd having to pay child support these days? I remember reading an article that his ex was trying to get around $60k a month out of him. That’s just sad if that dude is struggling money-wise with some of the paydays he’s had. Almost seems impossible that anybody can be that careless with their money. ‘Course, Tyson blew his $330 million career earnings…
Sign of these social media-downgraded times. Attention whore YouTuber, after knocking out a retired NBA player to go 2-0 against boxing nobodies, is being talked about on a legitimate website devoted to the Sweet Science. This is pathetic. He doesn’t deserve a mention here, even if he’s calling out Mayweather.
Jake Paul is nothing more than a pathetic liberal whine-bag, who would probably go cry to his mamma if he was hit with a slight jab from ant professional fighter, let alone Floyd. “You gonna cry now, Jake!? You gonna cry, cry cry!!!?” ha ha
On one hand, I’m tired of these exhibitions. On the other, I’d like to see someone beat Jake Paul’s ass. I’d particularly like to see him get beat by some guy from a storefront boxing gym no one’s ever heard of.
Aaannndddd boxing has finally jumped the shark and become pro wrestling……
