Shut Up and Take Our Money
Things almost got out of control yesterday at the Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul press conference when Jake Paul (Logan’s younger brother) took Mayweather’s hat during a verbal spat backstage.

To the people who are living under a rock, let us get you up to speed here. Logan first expressed interest in fighting Floyd in September 2020 but Floyd, being Floyd, didn’t return the excitement.
It didn’t take Logan too long to get under Mayweather’s skin. He commented on his prospects of potentially fighting Floyd in November 2020 which got a sharp response from “Money” Mayweather.

Mayweather retaliated with an attack on Logan Paul and even humiliated Conor McGregor while he was at it. At this point, the Floyd vs Paul match was on after it got sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games. 3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that bitch. @loganpaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.

Not The Best of Starts
The Paul brothers were not kind (as expected) to Mayweather as soon as he stepped in for the press conference. Jake went the extra mile to mortify Floyd as soon as he stepped onto the stage with Logan.
Things spiraled out of control when Floyd mentioned Logan’s infamous Japan YouTube video which had drawn flack from across the board. Logan responded with a rather personal attack on Mayweather.

What if we told you the entire ‘stealing the hat’ fiasco was not an “in the heat of the moment” incident? What if we told you Jake did all of this for a TikTok video? Watch this now.

Be what it may, we have to give it to Jake for being a total badass. Right after returning from the presser, the younger Paul got “gotcha hat” tattooed on his leg. He did return with a black eye, too. Jake was allegedly punched in the eye by one of Floyd’s bodyguards.

Whatever You Do, Don’t Talk About Floyd’s Hairline
Enough about Jake, let’s talk about Logan. Floyd Mayweather did look visibly upset after Logan Paul commented on his hairline.

We know for a fact Floyd Mayweather is a little touchy about his hairline. Conor Mcgregor too gave him a hard time about it.

“Money” Mayweather’s opponents do have a weird fascination with his hat. Mcgregor expressed it passionately at the press conference before their fight in 2017.

Say whatever you may, the Paul brothers know how to draw up excitement, and the exhilaration for Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul is through the roof.
Do we think Logan Paul is going to beat Mayweather in the PPV match? No. But who knows? Victory is just a KO away and Paul might have an edge, thanks to his height and weight.
