YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has claimed that his altercation with boxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather was staged.

In early March, an altercation between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather went viral.

[{"selector":"#anim-c288d56c-a349-47ea-8649-014d0de7cd65 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9953507-b21b-4e3c-be47-7e47d34f0412","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-4bb7997d-ef97-4dbb-97a4-0535f8bf1351","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c6c366d-5ef0-4a10-ba35-ec988d679795","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 242.22225%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In the viral video clip surfaced showed Floyd and his team of 25 people approaching Jake Paul as he was leaving a Miami Heat basketball game.

[{"selector":"#anim-6a947500-09a8-46c6-9cb7-0a722582a865 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c167c5e3-a20d-46ec-b667-424ee5c661d3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-52ffb051-8b80-47aa-8735-76cdcfb32d74","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6d8c3a1-6e46-4eca-b5a3-16cd267e31cb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 178.67265%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Following the confrontation, Jake took to Twitter, calling out Floyd publicly to fight one-on-one

[{"selector":"#anim-ef332a58-aede-4d77-a2ef-d61f3437d005 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2cdbc8a-3c4e-4e95-b106-e13edf90b028","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-4fc7cba3-7fec-4f53-b0e8-c377c709c4ff","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-74f790b8-bbf8-4130-a5e2-40022ff58420","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 204.97777%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Later even Jake admitted he was a “b*tch” for running from the situation.

[{"selector":"#anim-1e828a0b-8331-43ab-859e-9321991cdb28 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be364f2d-dc52-498a-ba7f-efe0f84c23c4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-d62a523d-5e55-4428-a67e-f42c48a0750c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e21f5e48-0e91-4b12-99a8-ea43ab9b51fb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 327.92410%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, according to the ‘Problem Child’, the entire scenario was actually just a PR stunt intended to viral.

[{"selector":"#anim-3af10fff-8be9-4fb9-851c-e7f4827fd7b0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-74f50a6b-b909-402b-97d2-c409fd0ec88f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-d7204b69-a5fe-40bd-94c5-e7efe082a5f9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be40cf29-c789-4494-9723-9a38380a6db5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 242.22225%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

He said: “Yeah, we were like let’s set this up and make this go viral,” said Jake

“And viral it did, it went on like every single news page and outlet.” “We got exactly what we wanted out of it,” he added.
