But all hell broke loose last week as they came face-to-face for the first time at a press conference to promote their pay-per-view spectacle.

It started after Mayweather, 44, was called out by younger sibling Jake, 24, to fight him as well at the same event.

Things turned ugly after the social media star, who is 3-0 in his pro career, stole Mayweather’s hat, sparking a mass melee.

Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather promotions, admitted the boxing legend could fight the Pauls back-to-back if he wanted to, but ruled it out from happening.

Ellerbe told TMZ Sports: “Realistically, he could. But no, from a business standpoint, no.

“Him and Logan are gonna have a great exhibition on the 6th of June and the whole world will be entertained.”

The brawl, and almost certain win for Mayweather, would set up a return fight against Jake.

Ellerbe refused to rule out the possibility, but maintained the focus is soley on Logan, 26, at this point.

He said: “Who knows? Who knows what the future might hold.

“But right now we have a huge, huge event it’s the biggest event of the year in the sport of boxing and we’re just really, really excited.”

A Mayweather insider exclusively revealed to SunSport that the boxing superstar could even return to professional boxing – with Jake Paul and Conor McGregor both in his sights.

Billy Joe Saunders was also seen as an option – however his defeat to Canelo Alvarez makes that scenario highly unlikely.

DEATH THREAT

Mayweather was so irate after his hat was nicked by Jake, he threatened to KILL the social media sensation.

He could be heard yelling backstage: “I’ll kill you mother f***er. You crazy?

“I don’t know who the f*** you think you’re playing with. I don’t play no motherf***ing games. I’ll f*** you up.”

Logan claimed the brawl, and threat against Jake’s life has now made the fight personal, as he denied the melee being staged.

He said: “I f***ing wish that wasn’t real. I wish that wasn’t staged.  That s*** is not funny, it’s not fun for anyone.

“That s*** just got personal by default. It was supposed to be like a cute little press conference, come together, get people excited for the fight. 

“Now people are talking about killing people? What the f***. “
