Former five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather, and YouTuber turned boxing sensation, Jake Paul, have had a longstanding beef. The duo is often seen taking digs at each other online. It also looks like ‘The Problem Child’ wishes to add a Mayweather fight to his impressive resume. This beef almost landed Paul in a rather hazardous situation recently, after he was confronted by Mayweather and his team after an NBA game. While Mayweather drew the ire of fans for this incident. It looks like Paul’s mother also has a few choice words to say about the altercation.
