Boxing influencer Jake Paul has said his viral run in with Floyd Mayweather was actually staged.
Back in March, the two clashed outside of the Kaseya Center following a Miami Heat game.
Paul was leaving the arena when he was suddenly approached by Mayweather and his entourage.
After a tense verbal interaction, Jake Paul, who was heavily outnumbered by Mayweather’s men, was seen running off.
Although Paul admittedly criticized his own actions for fleeing the scene, he is now saying it was all a ploy to stir up fight rumours.
