'Money' also claimed that things will start to look &quot;bad&quot; for Paul should face a &quot;real actual fighter&quot; like Floyd Mayweather.Giving his opinion on a potential boxing match against 'The Problem Child', the 45-year old said:“He [Jake Paul] said I don’t wanna do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. He said I am only doing real fights and of course I can’t get up high in weight but I will fight him in a real fight at the weight that I am at but Jake Paul I mean as of right now, what he is doing is good for what he is doing but once he fights a real actual real fighter, it’s going to be bad.”You can check out Floyd Mayweather's full interview with TMZ Sports below:
