In a recent interview, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather didn’t hold back his thoughts on the upcoming exhibition match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, while also addressing his own potential matchup with the younger Paul brother.
Mayweather, known for his pay-per-view success, distinguished himself from the free-viewing model of the Tyson-Paul event. “When you’re watching boxing for free, you can have millions and millions and millions, hundreds of millions of views. But when you’re watching Floyd Mayweather, you have to pay,” he stated, emphasizing his commercial impact on the sport.
The undefeated champion also reflected on his previous exhibition match with Logan Paul, Jake’s older brother. “Me and Logan, we done an exhibition, and that’s why he moved to WWE, because he wanted to hold me the whole night,” Mayweather said, suggesting that Logan’s strategy was largely defensive.
When the conversation shifted to a potential matchup with Jake Paul, Mayweather’s confidence was evident. Despite approaching 48 years of age, he dismissed any challenge from the younger Paul sibling with remarkable assurance, repeatedly stating it would be “too easy.”
The comments come at a time when Jake Paul has been making waves in the boxing world, though Mayweather’s remarks suggest he sees a clear distinction between social media-driven popularity and his own legacy in professional boxing.
Mayweather also appeared to endorse Logan Paul’s transition to WWE, noting, “I think WWE is good for Logan,” while maintaining his stance that Jake Paul would pose no significant challenge to him, even at his current age.
