Floyd Mayweather Cries Racism In Trash-talk After Jake Paul's Savage Video

Keneci Channel

The boxing legend in an Instagram post on Tuesday announcing his schedule for the year, belittled YouTuber-turned pro boxer Jake Paul's chances against Ben Askren in their upcoming fight.

"if Jake Paul can get past his next opponent Ben Askren," Mayweather wrote," I will have an exhibition with him as well."

Mayweather confirmed thst his postponed fight with Jake Paul's older brother Logan will still happen before the year's end. He also called out rapper 50 Cent. "I also heard that 50 cent would fight me but claims I'm too small. If he wants to lace up at the end of the year, we can do an exhibition then."

50 Cent had trolled Mayweather in an interview, saying he is too small and wouldn't agree to a catchweight -- Mayweather usually fights at 150 lbs while the rapper is closer to 180.

The boxing legend's comments did not go down well with Jake Paul. And he clapped back hard in his usual provocative style. In a response video posted on Wednesday, Paul dedicated a savage poem to the boxing legend.

From mocking Mayweather's reading abilities and height to insulting his social media team, Paul went in hard in his attempt to trigger the boxing icon.

Then he goes in even harder, mentioning Mayweather's daughter in a reference to her partner, NBA Youngboy: "Speaking of NBA, who knocked up your daughter my friend?" Paul asked mockingly.

The video apparently got the expected reaction, as Mayweather lashed out in an Instagram post, insinuating that Paul is racist.

"Jake Paul is talking about he don't do exhibitions, them two bullshit boxing matches he had were exhibitions," Mayweather wrote. "They were not against real professional boxers. And I don’t even play when it comes to education because millions of blacks got lynched just for reading. Let me see, you went to get a black boxing trainer, try to dress like you're black, wear jewelry like black people, try to dance like black people, but you don't want to be BLACK. All you do is jack black swag from us. You go from groupie fan to a fake professional fighter, this world is crazy."
