The matchup has drawn a lot of attention and is one of the hottest fights to make at the moment. De La Hoya stated:

"Floyd understands that 'Tank' wants to fight the best because Floyd fought the best. So, I think it'll be easier to negotiate with Floyd."

If the match comes to fruition, it'll likely take place at 140lbs.

Jeff Mayweather shared some thoughts on the match between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr., advising promoters avoid fixing the outcome of the fight.

Mayweather discussed the possibility of a fixed fight taking place because of the differing backgrounds the two opponents come from. He was hopeful that this match would be a fair fight for fans to enjoy.
