Floyd Mayweather Accepts Jake Paul’s ‘Real Fight’ Offer but There’s a Catch

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will lace up his gloves once again as he is set to compete in his next exhibition bout. He will now face Japanese MMA star Mikuru Asakura on September 25 in the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo. However, it looks like ‘Money’ has already planned out his future after this bout.

The former five-division champion competed in an exhibition bout against Logan Paul last year. However, his brother Jake Paul might be next on Mayweather’s list. In an interview with TMZ, Mayweather revealed that he hasn’t ruled out a fight with Paul after he seemingly discarded Money as a legitimate opponent to face. “I think he (Paul) was doing a sitdown on a podcast one time, and he talked about it and he said, ‘I don’t want to do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather.’ He said, ‘I’m only doing real fights.” said Mayweather.

Moreover, he added that he would be ready to face Paul at any weight and give him a ‘real’ fight if he wanted. “And of course, I can’t get high up in weight, but I’ll fight him in a real fight at the weight that I’m at,” he added

Even at 45 years old Mayweather is confident in his abilities to face a much younger opponent. However, Paul has other things to worry about as he is set to face Anderson Silva on October 29. This will be Paul’s sixth professional fight as he will be keen to add another victory to his undefeated record.

Floyd Mayweather calls out Conor McGregor for a rematch

Mayweather also expressed his interest in facing his former rival Conor McGregor in a rematch. In an interview with DailyMail, ‘Money’ revealed that there were ongoing talks with McGregor for a rematch in 2023. He stated the fight could either be a professional bout or an exhibition and will take place after another exhibition in Dubai. “I want to go out there this weekend and have fun. Then I have another exhibition in Dubai in November and me and Conor McGregor in 2023,” he said.

The two faced off back in 2017 in Mayweather’s final professional boxing match. This fight earned Mayweather $275 million and McGregor $85 million according to Forbes, and was touted as one of the highest-grossing fights in the sport. With fight purses of this size, it is not a huge surprise that they want to compete once again.
