\u201cI got to take my hat off to Jake Paul because I like Jake Paul\u2019s hustle,\u201d Mayweather said to Come and Talk 2 Me. \u201cHe knows the right way to hustle and he knows the right way to get that bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mayweather also praised David Benavidez, Keyshawn Davis, Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney and a \u201clittle guy from Japan,\u201d widely understood to be Naoya Inoue, but his comments about Jake centered entirely on the YouTuber-turned-boxer\u2019s ability to generate revenue somewhat than his accomplishments within the ring.<\/p>\n

That distinction hasn\u2019t stopped fans from wondering if Mayweather may very well be laying the groundwork for an additional lucrative exhibition.<\/p>\n

The unbeaten Hall of Famer has never hidden his willingness to take part in high-paying exhibitions. Earlier in the identical interview, he dismissed criticism that he fights just for money.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m capable of steal some more money, why not?\u201d Mayweather said while discussing future exhibition opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mayweather faced Logan Paul in a widely publicized exhibition in 2021 that generated enormous interest despite the mismatch. A bout with Jake Paul would likely attract much more attention given Jake\u2019s larger profile in boxing and social media.<\/p>\n

While Jake has develop into one in all combat sports\u2019 biggest industrial attractions, many fans don\u2019t imagine his boxing record warrants being mentioned alongside world champions equivalent to Benavidez, Inoue, Stevenson, Haney and Keyshawn Davis. He has yet to ascertain himself among the many leading contenders at cruiserweight.<\/p>\n

For that reason, many viewed Mayweather\u2019s comments as recognition of Jake\u2019s business success somewhat than his standing as one in all the game\u2019s elite fighters.<\/p>\n

An exhibition between the 2 has yet to materialize, but Mayweather\u2019s praise of Jake\u2019s ability to \u201cget that bag\u201d has already fueled discussion about one other blockbuster payday.<\/p>\n
