Floyd Mayweather explains why he \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d fight Jake Paul despite wanting to Instagram: Floyd Mayweather \/ Jake PaulUndefeated professional boxer Floyd Mayweather has revealed why his rumored fight against Jake Paul won\u2019t happen even though he wants it to. The rivalry between Jake Paul and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is going to have to end without a winner despite years of feuding between the two. A potential match between The Problem Child and Mayweather has been on a lot of fans\u2019 minds ever since Jake\u2019s big brother Logan went the distance against the former champ in an exhibition bout. The build-up to the fight included a major confrontation with Jake when he ended up stealing Mayweather\u2019s hat, prompting a social media firestorm and Jake even claiming \u201cgangsters\u201d were hired to kill him. Eventually, Jake issued a challenge to fight Mayweather, but Money doesn\u2019t see it happening. Floyd Mayweather responds to Jake Paul fight challenge Speaking at a press conference for his upcoming match against Aaron Chalmers, Floyd was asked about Jake Paul wanting to fight him in a non-exhibition match. \u201cWe spoke to Jake Paul before and we can only do an exhibition because of the weight disadvantage. I can\u2019t get up to 180-190 pounds. My body just wouldn\u2019t let me,\u201d the boxer said. However, Floyd made it clear that if he could get to the weight, he\u2019d have no problem duking it out in the ring against the undefeated Jake. \u201cIf I could, I would. But I can\u2019t,\u201d he added, before revealing why he won\u2019t push himself. \u201cI\u2019m not chasing anyone. I\u2019ve accomplished everything I\u2019ve wanted to accomplish.\u201d The legend further stressed that he already had his time as a boxer, but plans to still entertain fans with his exhibition matches until he finally hangs up his gloves for good. \u201cWhen I choose to stop exhibitions, I will still support the sport of boxing. I\u2019m a pioneer of being a boxer, I\u2019m an entrepreneur. I\u2019m playing chess in the real world. I\u2019m truly blessed. I can\u2019t take my opponent for granted. It\u2019s entertaining.\u201d Although fans may not get to see Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather, they can still see The Problem Child finally take on Tommy Fury this Saturday as Jake Paul looks to become a ranked boxer for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
