Jake Paul’s ‘Gotcha Hat’ moment with Floyd Mayweather

From the initial days, Jake Paul was always controversy king and loved to be at the center of attraction, which may be the reason for him being so popular. In April 2021, Paul’s brother, Logan Paul, appeared in the ring with Mayweather for an exhibition fight. In that fight, neither of the parties won the match, and the fight took to the full 8 rounds. But the real fight surged before the match when Jake Paul went too far.
