Jake Paul does not want to do an exhibition with Floyd Mayweather
But the YouTuber-turned boxer ruled out facing Mayweather himself unless it was a sanctioned bout on their records.
That would cause a sticking point with Paul last fighting at 190lb whereas his Hall of Fame rival was 150lb.
Mayweather, 45, is open to putting his historic 50-0 record on the line against self-proclaimed “Problem Child”.
But he warned Paul, 25, would have to come down to his weight, which means losing a near-impossible THREE STONE.
Mayweather told TMZ Sports: “I think he was doing a sit down on a podcast one time and he talked about it and he said, ‘I don’t wanna do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather.’
“He said, ‘I want to put on real fights.’ And of course, I can’t get up high in weight, but I’ll fight him in a real fight, at the weight that I’m at.
“But, Jake Paul, as of right now for what he’s doing, it’s good for what he’s doing. But once he fights an actual real fighter, it’s going to be bad.
“But one thing I do like about him, he’s selling it and making good money, he’s entertaining. I like it.”

Mayweather has not boxed professionally since 2017, when he beat UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34, in ten rounds.
He has since had three exhibitions, with featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, Paul’s brother Logan, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.
Mayweather returns over the weekend in Japan against MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura, 30.
Meanwhile Paul faces UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, in his comeback fight on October 29 in Arizona.
Silva has a 4-1 record in the ring and will be the American’s first opponent with prior boxing experience.
So far he has beaten online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 38.
He also has a points win and knockout over ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40, most recently in December.
Mayweather has warned Paul to carry on facing opposition from the internet and MMA world opposed to seasoned boxers.
He said: “As long as he continues to fight MMA guys and YouTubers, he’s going to continue to look good and to shine.
“But once he fights a real fighter, a real fighter that can really fight, it’s not going to be good. It’s not going to be that good.”

Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It determines his position and the direction he will face. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are the most commonly used ones:

Combinations
The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
