Jake Paul reveals terms to fight Floyd Mayweather and says boxing legend ‘can’t function’ without luxury lifestyle


JAKE PAUL says Floyd Mayweather “can’t function” without his luxury lifestyle as he revealed his terms to fight the boxing legend.

Mayweather has had four non-sanctioned bouts since retiring in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34.

One involved Jake’s brother Logan, 27, who took the boxing legend the eight-round distance in July 2021.

Mayweather, 45, last weekend knocked out Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura, 30, in two rounds.

And days later he announced another exhibition with YouTuber Deji, 25, on November 13 in Dubai.

Paul, 25, slammed Mayweather for the cash-grab boxing cameos which he said are only in place to fund his spending habits.

He said: “I think he needs money. I legitimately think he needs money. There is no way that you can keep up that lifestyle.

“Think about this, guys. He kept up the same lifestyle that he had while he was fighting – the cars, the jewellery, the rolling around with thirty people, private jets everywhere, vacations, spending millions of dollars on one watch. He’s a f****** dumbass.

“You can’t keep up that same lifestyle after you’re retired. And I think he realises that and then had to get back in shape and started doing these exhibitions.

“Because he can’t function without that lifestyle, that is who he is. That’s his identity.

“It’s Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. Floyd ‘Needs Money’ Mayweather.”

Paul wants to fight Mayweather at a catchweight between 165lb and 175lb and claimed Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza is on board.

But he demanded the American icon settle his financial dispute with brother Logan, who claimed he was not fully paid following their fight.

Paul said: “If he is going to fight then why not fight me?

“I’ll make 175 you make 165, we’ll have a 10lb weight difference we can get that sanctioned.

“He didn’t care about the 35lb difference with Logan and he says once I fight a real fighter it will be bad for me.

“So really he has no excuse to why this fight shouldn’t happen. Espinoza’s down at Showtime and it makes a ton of sense.

“But I will say, if we do fight part of the contract will say that he has to pay my brother. I got you Logan.”
