Perhaps the best part about boxing lately? All of the shit-talking that goes on between the fighters.
One guy shit talks the other guy’s mama, the other guy says he’s ugly, next thing you know there’s a long feud leading up to the fight, and the anticipation grows that much more.
And the Paul brothers are some of the best at it. Real boxers, no… Real trolls? Yes.
Logan Paul is set to fight one of the best boxers in the business, Floyd Mayweather, and as you’d expect, both sides have been taking shots at each other.
Logan and his little brother Jake met up with Mayweather last week, and Jake was doing his usual shit talking. But then, he decided to steal Floyd’s hat and run off. Needless to say, Mayweather was PISSED and all hell broke loose…
According to TMZ, the Logan-Mayweather pre-fight news conference in Miami last week, Mayweather got so heated, he had three words to say to Jake:
“I’ll kill you.”
Everybody knows that the guy is not actually gonna kill somebody over a hat, saying stuff like this at the pre-fight news conference is just a part of the sport.
However, the Paul brothers took the statement quite seriously, to say the least.
They have now hired extra security, and it appears they actually believe Mayweather is gonna murder them. Logan had this to say about the situation:
“Dawg, when you have a guy with the resources and the wealth that Floyd Mayweather has and the connection and the network and he’s saying sh*t, ‘I’mma kill that motherf*cker’… Kill? Death?
You’re gonna kill my brother over a f*cking hat? Yo, we take that sh*t seriously man!”
Logan says they now have extra bodyguards around them 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
I honestly find this hilarious. The Paul brothers try to make themselves out to be the baddest dudes to ever walk the planet, and now, after one tiny meaningless threat, they’ve resorted to hiding in fear.
Maybe it’s all part of the show too, but talk’s cheap my guy…
Something tells me he’ll learn that in the ring.
