Jake Paul lists 4 goals for 2022, trolls Floyd Mayweather and boasts about "carrying the sport" of boxing

Jake Paul has put forth four goals he’s set for himself in the New Year, whilst simultaneously jibing at boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Additionally, ‘The Problem Child’ also suggested that he’s been “carrying the sport of boxing.” Jake Paul tweeted:

“Some people are asking about my 2022 goals. Here they are 1. Buy Mayweather Promotions and save them from bankruptcy 2. Hire stylist for Floyd Mayweather 3. Take selfie with Oprah 4. Go 2 chiropractor 2 heal back from carrying the sport of boxing”

As reported by Sportico, Jake Paul has earned around $20 million since making his boxing debut in 2020. Furthermore, Forbes recently reported that the YouTube megastar and his boxing promotion (Most Valuable Promotions) plan to continue capitalizing on his crossover appeal in the boxing realm.

Despite recent reports that Paul's rematch with Tyron Woodley garnered just 65k buys on cable and satellite pay-per-view, the consensus is that the digital streaming numbers could be much higher.

As a result, Paul’s latest fight’s overall pay-per-view sales “could be through the roof.”

One of the most memorable combat sports feuds of 2021 was that of Mayweather vs. the Paul brothers. ‘Money’ retired from professional boxing in August 2017. That said, he's had a couple of exhibition boxing matches in 2020 and 2021 respectively.

Floyd Mayweather’s most recent exhibition boxing match transpired in June 2021 against Logan Paul, Jake Paul’s elder brother. In the build-up to the fight between ‘Money’ and Logan, Jake snatched Mayweather’s hat during a promotional event. This led to the infamous ‘Gotcha Hat’ brawl that garnered worldwide headlines.
