Have a look at Floyd Mayweather and Jake Paul confrontation in Miami after the Heat game with their fight video viral
Floyd Mayweather and a group of men confronted Problem the Child in Miami on Wednesday night during the Heat game, and JP eventually booked it out of the neighbourhood.
Paul was apparently accompanied at the time by a lone security officer when Mayweather rolled up on him following the Heat-Cavs game in south Florida.
Before any fists could be lifted, Jake swiftly departed after exchanging a few words.

Floyd and Jake have naturally been at each other’s throats ever since Paul removed the hat from the 50-0 boxer’s head during a press conference promoting his brother Logan’s fight with TBE in May 2021.
Jake addressed the situation on social media shortly after the occurrence.
Paul wrote on Instagram addressing the problem:
So I’m leaving the Miami Heat game and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere, out of like some side alley, waiting for me outside the stadium, and they’re like, ‘So what’s up? what’s all that talk now?’
He continued:
I’m like first of all, what did I say to you Floyd? I just took your hat and you’re still mad about it? Come on, bro. And then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me to jump me, and I’m out that bitch, ok?”

Floyd didn’t intend to run into Jake as he was leaving the basketball game, according to those close to him, rather, they just happened to cross paths.
Mayweather confronted Jake because, according to a TMZ report, he believed the boxer had previously made comments that went beyond typical fighting-related trash talk.
A source close to Floyd told TMZ that Jacob overreached. The purpose of this wasn’t to take a hat. This included below-the-belt rude behaviour like Jake’s comments to Floyd about a deceased member of Floyd’s family.
About Paul’s remarks on social media after the altercation in the arena, TMZ’s Floyd source said:
Jake went to his IG and started name calling once again when he can hide behind a camera.”
Jake didn’t miss the opportunity to formally challenge Floyd to a fight.
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 tryna to jump me while I’m tryna enjoy my Wednesday night
