Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has been doing constant exhibition fights after his retirement in 2017. Even at the age of 46, Mayweather is not ready to stop. He wants to keep going on. But his last exhibition match, which took place on Feb 25 in the UK, did not go as planned. Well, one of those reasons for its failure is the overlapping of the Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury fight and his exhibition match. So in Mayweather’s fight against Aaron Chalmers, not a lot of people showed up.
There were many empty seats in the O2 arena, which was a bit of an embarrassing situation for ‘Money’. And somewhere in his mind, Mayweather could blame Jake Paul for this. Nevertheless, in a recent tweet of ‘The Problem Child’, it’s pointing in the direction that Floyd Mayweather is not happy with him, and he may have tried to intimidate Jake outside the ring.

He wrote in his tweet, “Floyd if you want to fight 1 on 1 we can do that but don’t try to hop out of 3 cars 25 dudes deep tryna to jump me while I’m tryna enjoy my Wednesday night“.
