JAKARTA - Jake Paul challenged Floyd Mayweather Jr several times to fight in the ring. The Problem Child wants a professional fight, not an exhibition.
Stephen Espinoza, president of Showtime Boxing, told MMA Fighting that he was interested in the duel between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather because according to him the duel had extraordinary potential.
"If that's something Floyd's interest is interested in, and he has room in his excellent exposition schedule," Espinoza was quoted as saying by Marca on Friday.
Espinoza also said that the fight against Jake could be better than the fight against Logan, Jake's brother.
"It may even be the potential to get bigger than (duels) Floyd and Logan, given what Jake has done as a professional boxer so far," he continued.
The youtuber just beat former UFC champion Anderson Silva in an eight-round boxing match last weekend.
While Mayweather had an exhibition boxing match last year against Logan.
Espinoza then went on to praise Mayweather's career. He called it the greatest fighter seen in his life, a'once-in-a-generation fighter'.
"Look, I really believe - even though I hope this is not true - we will not see or at least I will not see other fighters like Floyd Mayweather in my life."
