Floyd Mayweather has set his terms for a fight with Jake Paul, and sadly, it doesn’t look as though it’s ever going to happen.
Mayweather and Paul’s beef dates back to when the pound-for-pound great faced his brother, Logan, in an exhibition bout. Jake continually terrorised Mayweather in the build-up.
Paul has continually reaffirmed his desire to follow in his brother’s footsteps and fight Mayweather, but in a pro, sanctioned bout, none of the exhibition nonsense.
Mayweather appears to be open to the idea, but quoted by The Sun, he revealed that the difference in weight would make it seemingly impossible to materialise.
“I think he was doing a sit down on a podcast one time and he talked about it and he said, ‘I don’t wanna do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather.”
“He said, ‘I want to put on real fights.’ And of course, I can’t get up high in weight, but I’ll fight him in a real fight, at the weight that I’m at.”
Paul is almost three stone heavier than Mayweather, a gap that could never be bridged between the pair for them to meet in a sanctioned fight – only an exhibition…
