BREAKING: Jake Paul almost gets jumped by Floyd Mayweather at Miami Heat game and makes a run for it

True to his moniker 'The Problem Child', Jake Paul cannot keep his name out of trouble. Paul was recently confronted by boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and his large entourage. The pair ran into each other in Miami after the NBA game between the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, March 8.

From the looks of it, 'Money' confronted Paul, who was seemingly only protected by a security guard. Some from Floyd Mayweather's entourage questioned Paul's silence following his loss to Tommy Fury. 'The Problem Child' fled the scene as tensions rose and Mayweather's crew looked to rush him. Security defused the situation before it escalated further. The news was first reported by TMZ Sports.

Check out the full video below:

According to reports, sources close to Floyd Mayweather said that the undefeated boxer was enraged by Paul, who allegedly made fun of Mayweather's deceased family member. Sources confirmed that Mayweather's fury did not stem from the infamous incident where Paul snatched his cap:

“Jake crossed the line. This wasn’t about grabbing a hat. This was about Jake’s comments to Floyd about Floyd’s deceased family member and other below-the-belt inappropriate behavior." [via TMZ Sports]

Jake Paul took to Twitter to react to the situation and issue a one-on-one challenge to Mayweather:

"Floyd if you want to fight 1 on 1 we can do that but don’t try to hop out of 3 cars 25 dudes deep trying to jump me while I’m trying to enjoy my Wednesday night"

When Jake Paul claimed that Floyd Mayweather tried to get him "killed"

Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather were involved in a brawl at the press conference for the boxing legend's exhibition bout against Paul's older brother Logan in 2021. During the melee, Paul stole Mayweather's hat, which enraged the undefeated boxer.

The incident led to the notorious "gotcha hat" line. Mayweather's team furiously charged at Jake Paul, who believes that the boxing great's desire to subsequently hurt him was genuine.

Jake Paul stated that Mayweather had sought to have him allegedly "killed" for his actions on an edition of the Full Send Podcast:

"He was trying to get me killed behind the scenes for sure. He was calling like gangsters because we were in Miami here at the time. He was, like, calling the street people because my security is tapped into the street people. And they were like, 'Yo, you guys gotta be f***ing careful, he's trying to do something.'"
