Floyd Mayweather clashes with Jake Paul after first face-off with YouTuber’s brother Logan Paul ahead of June 6 showdown
FLOYD MAYWEATHER went face-to-face with Logan Paul for the first time this evening – but he later clashed with the YouTuber’s brother Jake.
Former four-weight world champion Mayweather will lock horns with The YouTuber in an exhibition bout at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on June 6.
The pair, 44 and 25 respectively, got their first glimpse of one another on during their first pre-fight press conference at the Hard Rock Stadium.
And there appeared to be no love lost between the duo, who exchanged pleasantries as they stared into each other’s eyes.
But moments later, a scuffle ensued after Logan’s younger sibling confronted the former pound-for-pound king.
A melee ensued shortlyafter Jake shouted ‘You wanna make it two in one night’.
Mayweather shouted ‘yes’ before walking up The Problem Child, which led to the scuffle.
Mayweather’s clash with the social media star has been maligned by many in the boxing community, with several claiming it’s damaging the legitimacy of the sport.
The Money Man, however, could care less about the opinions of his detractors as his exhibitions are providing financial security for his family.
He recently said: “A lot of times they say, ‘Oh, Mayweather, he’s doing exhibitions’ they be like, ‘It’s bad for boxing’.
“But at the end of the day, I look at my children, I look at my grandson, I look at my mother, I look at my father.
