Jake Paul, the controversial internet personality-turned-professional boxer, found himself in another altercation this week. He was confronted by boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and his entourage in Miami.
The encounter took place after an NBA game between the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it quickly turned tense.
Mayweather appeared to be trash-talking Paul, who was accompanied by a single security guard. Members of Mayweather's entourage asked Paul why he had been silent since his loss to Tommy Fury, adding to the already heated situation.
As tensions rose, Paul quickly fled the scene to avoid any further confrontation.

"Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his 'exhibitions'. Now he ambushes me. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bullsh*t."
Jake Paul attacks mainstream media for allowing oligarchs to get away with misdeeds
Jake Paul recently took a jab at the mainstream media with a tweet that seemed to express his frustration about the way athletes are treated.
According to Paul, athletes are often unfairly criticized and scrutinized for their actions, while billionaire owners of sports teams and leagues are able to get away with anything without being held accountable.
'The Problem Child's tweet reflects a common sentiment among athletes and their supporters, who often feel that the media is overly critical of their actions and behavior.
He tweeted:
"It’s crazy how mainstream media crucifies athletes for every action they deem wrong but never fully holds accountable the billionaire owners of leagues & teams who do wrong."
While it is unclear what specifically prompted his comments, it is speculated to be related to the recent situation involving NBA player Ja Morant.
Morant made headlines recently after he slinged a gun during an Instagram livestream, leading to his suspension by the Memphis Grizzlies team and criticism from the media.
