YouTube sensation Jake Paul is not having the best start to this year. The Problem Child faced the first-ever loss of his boxing career to Tommy Fury who won via a close split decision a few weeks back. Now, Paul was confronted by the man he has long called out for an exhibition, Floyd Mayweather.

The two came face to face after the Miami Heat game with the YouTuber being jumped by Mayweather and his entourage.

Moreover, after exchanging a few words, Paul ran as far as he could as ‘Money’ with his bodyguards came closer to him. The pair have been beefing ever since the 26-year-old took TBE’s hat and ran away with it. This incident happened back in 2021 before his brother Logan Paul fought Mayweather in an exhibition. The video has taken over the internet with many people sharing their thoughts on it. This included IBF flyweight champion Sunny Edwards who was filled with joy after seeing the video.

Edwards certainly found the video funny along with many people who have watched it. However, Paul has come back with a response as to why he ran away from Mayweather after trolling him online on multiple occasions.

So I’m leaving the Miami Heat game and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere,” Paul said. “Out of some side alley waiting for me outside of the stadium. They’re like ‘what’s up, what’s all that talk now! I’m like first of all, what did I say to you Floyd? I just took your hat and you’re still mad about it? Come on, bro. Then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me trying to jump me. I’m out that b***” said Paul.

In this situation, ‘The Problem Child’ certainly did the right thing by not escalating the situation and running away. Moreover, this could entice Mayweather to now fight Paul in an exhibition bout since his next opponent is still undecided.
