MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Jake Paul has done a lot of annoying mixed martial arts fighters on social media since he knocked out Ben Askren. But when he annoyed one of the greatest boxers of all time face to face Thursday, he paid the price.

Jake, who attended a news conference for brother Logan Paul’s upcoming exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather at Hard Rock Stadium, got into a physical altercation when he faced off with Mayweather in front of cameras.

Paul and Mayweather jawed away at one another as a large crowd of reporters surrounded them. That’s when Paul took it one step further.

“Got your hat!” Paul said as he swiped Mayweather’s white cap. From there, all hell broke loose.

“Don’t disrespect me!” Mayweather yelled after the two were pulled apart. “Let’s go!” Paul responded, with torn clothing.

As Paul was restrained, Mayweather charged back at the YouTube star. From there, the irate former boxing champ appeared to land a series of blows. Once pulled apart again, a ballistic Mayweather hollered that he’d kill Paul.

“I’ll kill that motherf—-r!” Mayweather repeated.

Shortly after the altercation, Paul took to Twitter to taunt and troll Mayweather some more.

The chaotic situation comes just two weeks after Paul was confronted by Daniel Cormier at UFC 261, which did not escalate to violence.

The Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul pay-per-view event on Showtime takes place June 6 at Hard Rock Stadium.

Logan Paul warns everyone about brother Jake’s boxing: ‘He’s not the YouTube kid anymore’

Fellow YouTube star Logan Paul thinks it would be wise for everyone to take notice of what his younger brother is doing inside the ring.

ATLANTA – To borrow from UFC star Nate Diaz, [autotag]Logal Paul[/autotag] is not surprised, motherf***ers.

His younger brother, fellow YouTube star [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag], pushed his professional boxing record to 3-0 with a first-round TKO of Ben Askren in the Triller Fight Club headliner this past Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

According to Logan, it’s the result everyone should’ve seen coming.

“What the f*** did y’all expect?” Logan told MMA Junkie. “Stop doubting Jake. Every fight I’m like, ‘Ehhhh.’ Stop doubting Jake.”

Prior to Saturday, Jake had two professional boxing matches against another YouTube star in AnEsonGib and former NBA All-Star Nate Robinson. Given the competition, questions persisted about Jake’s credibility as a boxer.

In Askren, Jake, 24, faced a former Bellator and ONE Championship titleholder – as he put it, a “real fighter.” Askren, a former Olympic wrestler and two-time collegiate national champion, never was known for his striking ability and, prior to Saturday, hadn’t competed in boxing. That showed as Jake found success early before landing a hard right hand that dropped Askren and ended the fight at 1:59 mark of the first round.

Since the win, Jake has called out everyone under the sun – and been the target of callouts himself, including from UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn. Who he’ll fight next is anyone’s guess. All Logan can say is that people better recognize what his younger brother is capable of.

“He’s not who you think he is. He’s not the YouTube kid anymore,” Logan said. “He’s a f***ing bad motherf***er with a heavy right hand. There’s a reason … no one can survive those. No one has. And he’s gonna continue doing so. Doubt him all you want, but you’re gonna be wrong every time.”

Jake Paul hits back at Floyd Mayweather: ‘Losing his marbles’

YouTube celebrity Jake Paul was taken aback by Floyd Mayweather attacking him on social media and suggesting they should fight one another in 2021.

Mayweather was due to fight Paul’s older brother, Logan Paul, on Feb. 20, but the date has been pushed back indefinitely for unspecified reasons. The Hall of Famer said subsequently that he plans to take part in multiple exhibitions this year.

Jake Paul is scheduled to face MMA fighter Ben Askren in a sanctioned bout on April 17. He wants nothing to do with exhibitions.

“I’m 2-0 with 2 KOs [in] pro fights,” he told TMZ. “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 50-0 record in case he were to lose.

“… I’m not doing the exhibition s—. It doesn’t interest me. Those are like fake patty-cake fights.”

[lawrence-related id=17544,17511,17484,17553]

He then suggested the 43-year-old fighter was feeling mental strain given his social media antics.

“This guy is out of his mind,” Paul said. “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?!

“It just seems like this guy is money hungry. It seems like he hasn’t paid his taxes or some s—, and he just wants to fight everyone.”

Mayweather was last in the ring in December 2018, when he knocked out on Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition.

Logan Paul insists fight with Floyd Mayweather will happen

Logan Paul insists that his exhibition with Floyd Mayweather will happen even though it was postponed indefinitely.

Logan Paul is confident that he will fight Floyd Mayweather at some point.

The YouTuber personality-turned-boxer was supposed to have faced the Hall of Fame electee in an exhibition on Feb. 20. However, the event was postponed indefinitely for undisclosed reasons.

Some wonder whether the fight will take place at all for lack of interest, a notion that Paul dismisses.

He was asked about the situation during an interview with The Night Shift Gaming.

“It’s just stupid,” he said. “A guy who we had come to … be a strength and conditioning coach leaked information about the fight. As soon as this got out, he said that the fight was being pushed [back], I said, ‘F—, we’ve had a leak from inside our camp, no-one else was supposed to know that.’

“Then the narrative changed to, ‘Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul fight postponed due to lack of interest.’ Lack of interest? What the f—? There’s not be a fight that’s made this much noise the whole year.”

[lawrence-related id=17484,17035,16994,16175]

He went on: “But yeah, we’re figuring it out now. There was some complications with … actually, I don’t know how much I can say. I’ll say this: The complications are when you are dealing with someone like Floyd Mayweather who is the most desired, highest-paid fighter on the planet and he operates at a certain caliber.

“And the people around him want to make sure their talent, their fighter is performing at a certain level, there are a lot hoops to jump through. There a lot of people involved, and you’ve only got one shot at it, so you need to get it absolutely 1,000 percent right.

“We’re just making sure we’re doing that. But yeah, I’m still going to beat the s— out of Floyd Mayweather. Or maybe he’s going to beat the s— out of me, who knows? The point is it’s still going to happen.”

The sides reportedly are discussing potential new dates but that hasn’t been confirmed.

Mayweather was last in the ring in December 2018, when he stopped Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa.

Paul is 0-1 as a professional boxer, having lost a decision to fellow YouTuber KSI in November 2019. He is the brother of Jake Paul, who knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson on the successful Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. card on Nov. 28.
