Jake Paul recently revealed a hit list but one name not on it was Floyd Mayweather, who boxed his brother Logan in an exhibition.<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to the fight, Jake Paul and Mayweather had some back-and-forth with words and at a media day, he stole Mayweather’s hat<\/a>. That caused a brawl to happen and after that, many expected they would eventually fight. However, for Paul, he says Mayweather fighting his brother proved he wouldn’t fight him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a good question,\u201d Paul told\u00a0USA TODAY Sports<\/a>. \u201cHe, I think realized with fighting my brother that we\u2019re not to be messed with. He said he would only fight me if I cut down to 154 pounds, which is physically impossible. And he don\u2019t want that smoke, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Paul thinks Mayweather won’t fight him, if it does happen, he says he will be the A-side as Mayweather needs him more than he needs the 50-0 boxer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s going to happen, it\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Jake Paul said. \u201cBut right now, my focus is doing real, professional fights. I\u2019m not trying to do any exhibitions. So if he wants to do a real pro fight at a real weight, I\u2019m down. But I don\u2019t want to do money fights with an old guy. He needs me more than I need him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake Paul is set to return to the ring on Sunday, August 29 in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio as he battles Tyron Woodley. It’s just his fourth professional fight as back in April, he scored a first-round KO over Ben Askren, a friend, and teammate of Woodley. Prior to that, he knocked out former NBA star, Nate Robinson and YouTuber, AnEsonGib.<\/p>\n
