Jake Paul lived to see another day, and that is because he made a quick decision to get himself out of harm’s way.
A brawl almost ensued between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather outside of a Miami Heat basketball game Wednesday night. Both just happened to be in attendance for the Heat’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at FTX Arena, and things got heated outside of the arena when both saw each other.
A member of Mayweather’s entourage filmed the altercation as he could be heard saying, “Are we going to bust him up, guys?” He then said, “Where you running, Jake?”
Seconds later, Paul could be seen running in the other direction.
Paul would later comment on the brief altercation once he got to a safe place.
“Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere, out of some side alley waiting for me outside of the stadium,” Paul said on Instagram. “And they’re like, ‘So what’s up? What’s all that talk now?’ I’m like, ‘First of all, what did I say to you, Floyd? I just took your hat, and you’re still mad about it? Come on, bro.’ Then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me to try and jump me.

“I’m out that bitch. Floyd, you want to run it one on one, no problem, but I’m not dumb. I’m tough. I don’t need to prove my toughness, but I’m not fucking dumb. I’m not going to sit there and try to fight 50 dudes. Dipped out of that b*tch.
“Floyd, you’re a hoe, bro. You’re mad cause I took your f*cking hat. Are you serious? Get over it, bro. Move on.”
Their original beef back in 2021 when Paul snatched Mayweather’s hat at a press event leading up to the boxing match between Mayweather and Paul’s older brother, Logan. Clearly, Floyd never let that moment go.
