MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Thursday was supposed to be about Logan Paul, not his brother Jake Paul. After all, Logan is fighting Floyd Mayweather on June 6 in a boxing exhibition. But Jake was at their press event, and he stole the show.
“It’s always a f*cking spectacle with that kid,” Logan said of his little brother.
About 10 minutes prior, after Logan and Mayweather held a press conference, Jake plucked the cap Mayweather was wearing straight from his head and ran off with it as dozens of reporters surrounded them. From there, all hell broke loose with fists and death threats flying from an irate Mayweather.
Once the chaos subsided, Logan emerged from the bowels of Hard Rock Stadium to speak.
“Yeah, he told me he was gonna do it,” Logan said of Jake’s bold stunt. “I told him not to.”

But did Logan mean it? After all, the mayhem caused by Jake brought a lot of attention to his fight with Mayweather.
“This sh*t is so personal. This sh*t is so f*cking personal,” Logan said. “I thought this sh*t was gonna be kind of cute, go and put on a good show. It’s gonna be a f*cking fight, bro. It’s gonna be a war.”
He continued, “Floyd did look pretty emotional. He was angry. He can act cool all he wants on stage, but I think my brother’s kind of doing my job for me.”
