Jake Paul: He Needs Me More Than I Need Him

JAKARTA - Jake Paul says he doesn't see fighting Floyd Mayweather as a priority. He even claimed that the boxing legend nicknamed Money needed him more.

Paul is set to step into the ring again when he takes on former UFC champion Tyron Woodley next weekend. And his comments came after he recently removed Mayweather from the list of fighters he wants to face in the future.

Canelo Alvarez, Conor McGregor and Gervonta Davis were all on the list, and Paul explained why he dropped the name of a great boxer like Mayweather.

"If it's going to happen, it's going to happen," Jake Paul told USA Today.

"But right now my focus is on having a real professional fight.

"I'm not trying to do any exhibitions."

Mayweather has previously said that he is willing to fight Jake Paul if the YouTube star loses his weight to 154 pounds. Meanwhile, Paul refused the request.

"So if he wants to do a professional fight with a real body weight, I lose," said Paul.

"But I don't want to have a money fight with my parents.

"He needs me more than I need him."
