Jake Paul reveals viral altercation with Floyd Mayweather was staged Wade PlemYouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has claimed that his altercation with boxing legend Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather was staged. In early March, an altercation between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather went viral. A clip that surfaced showed Floyd and his team of 25 people approaching the YouTube star as he was leaving a Miami Heat basketball game. The full video captured by TMZ showed Jake being \u201cjumped\u201d by Mayweather\u2019s team \u2014 before he quickly fled from the 50-0 boxing champion. Following the confrontation, Jake took to Twitter, calling out Floyd publicly to fight one-on-one instead of having his team \u201cjump\u201d him. Furthermore, weeks later Jake admitted he was a \u201cb*tch\u201d for running from the situation. However, according to the \u2018Problem Child\u2019, the entire scenario was actually just a PR stunt intended to viral. Jake Paul reveals Floyd Mayweather confrontation was fake Throughout Wade Plem\u2019s five-hour-long livestream on April 7, Jake admitted that being \u201cjumped\u201d by Floyd and his team was a PR stunt. When asked about the situation, Jake revealed the altercation was actually planned \u2014 with the hope of it going viral across the internet. \u201cYeah, we were like let\u2019s set this up and make this go viral,\u201d said Jake. \u201cAnd viral it did, it went on like every single news page and outlet.\u201d \u201cWe got exactly what we wanted out of it,\u201d he added. It\u2019s fair to say Wade was left stunned, further revealing that a member of Jake\u2019s team even told him it was all real. \u201cYeah, well I mean like we needed people to think it was real,\u201d Jake replied. The Problem Child has previously eyed up a bout with Mayweather on several occasions, and after already going to blows with Logan, the interest for Jake to attempt to avenge his older brother is certainly there. However, it\u2019s unclear whether or not we\u2019ll actually ever see Jake and Floyd touch gloves, but it\u2019s definitely not out of question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
