Business Partner Reveals Floyd Mayweather’s Rift With Jake Paul Was Bigger Than the Conor McGregor Press Conference
A few weeks ago, Floyd Mayweather entered a vicious brawl with YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul. The pair confronted each other backstage at a press conference and confronted traded verbal blows. In between the war of words, Paul tried to snatch Mayweather’s hat and eventually run. That’s when the matter escalated and the security had to jump in.
This whole incident saw an altogether different version of Floyd Mayweather. Even people associated with Mayweather were astonished to see him fuming this way.
Recently, Mayweather’s longtime friend and business partner, Leonard Ellerbe gave his take on the entire scenario. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said, “He was really p***ed. I haven’t seen him that p***ed for quite some time.
“It was the disrespect of snatching his hat.
“I have never seen him that angry.
“Not even in the McGregor press tour, when it was very personal.
“It was not arranged or pre-planned by Floyd or his team. I think Jake very much had it pre-planned and capitalized in his own unique way. From the tattoo to the merchandise, to everything he made out of it.”
With Ellerbe’s above comments, it’s clear that they didn’t see the livid Floyd Mayweather coming into a brawl with Jake Paul. Ellerbe even referred to the Conor McGregor press conference tour that took place in 2017. Wherein the Irishman went all guns blazing against Floyd Mayweather.
The UFC hotshot disrespected Mayweather in his own way. Yet, Jake Paul’s hat moment absolutely shook ‘TBE’ from the core, and as a result, he attacked the YouTuber.
