JAKE PAUL and Floyd Mayweather have been accused of staging their street altercation by UFC president Dana White.
Paul was filmed fleeing from Mayweather and his entourage and claimed they tried to jump him after a Miami Heat game.
It has fuelled speculation the rivals could settle the score in the boxing ring, leaving the likes of White skeptical.
He told TMZ Sports: “I just can’t see Floyd doing that. I can’t see Floyd rolling up on somebody and doing that.
“It’s not Floyd’s style. It’s not really his personality. I thought it was a skit. I’m not buying it.
“When’s the last time you saw Floyd Mayweather act like a thug and roll up on somebody with 50 people?
“That’s just not what Floyd does. Yeah, I’m not buying it.”
Paul’s feud with Mayweather started two years ago, before his brother Logan’s June 2021 exhibition with the boxing legend.
The self-proclaimed “Problem Child” stole Mayweather’s cap at a press conference, sparking a mass brawl.
A month later, Logan, 27, went the eight-round distance in the exhibition bout.

Paul, 26, has rivalled Mayweather, 46, ever since and called to settle it in the ring – but only in a sanctioned fight with records on the line.
He tweeted: “Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his ‘exhibitions’.
“Now he ambushes me. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bulls***.”
