‘He wouldn’t fight me’ – Jake Paul calls out Floyd Mayweather and mocks boxing legend’s hair after ‘gotcha hat’ brawl
JAKE PAUL opened the door to fighting Floyd Mayweather – and took a chance to mock the boxing legend at the same time.
The renowned prankster-turned prizefighter in May stole Mayweather’s cap and shouted ‘gotcha hat’.
It sparked a mass brawl between the pair and his brother Logan, who was facing the unbeaten American a month later.
Now younger brother Paul is ready to settle the score – but doubts Mayweather feels the same.
He said on The Journey podcast: “I’m open, you know. I would fight Mayweather, but he wouldn’t fight me.
“I’m open to it. We saw that when I took his hat, he’s got a lot of s*** going on up here.”

Mayweather, 45, was later taken the distance by older brother Logan, 26, who weighed TWO STONE more in the extraordinary exhibition.
The unbeaten icon has not boxed since but as revealed by SunSport, he is considering another return bout in Dubai.
Paul, 25, was meanwhile last in the ring in December when he knocked out Tyron Woodley, 39, in their late-notice rematch.
Woodley had been beaten on points four months earlier but replaced Tommy Fury, 22, who pulled out injured.
