Last week, Jake Paul released his hit list of people he wanted to fight in the ring. However Floyd Mayweather didn’t seem to make his ‘Hit List.’ Paul was asked why the undefeated retired boxer didn’t make the cut.

Via USA Today:

“That’s a good question. He, I think realized with fighting my brother, that we’re not to be messed with. He said he would only fight me if I cut down to 154 pounds, which is physically impossible,” he said.

“And he don’t want that smoke, man. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen. But right now my focus is doing real, professional fights. I’m not trying to do any exhibitions. So if he wants to do a real pro fight at a real weight, I’m down. But I don’t want to do money fights with an old guy. He needs me more than I need him.”

Here’s Paul’s hit list:

We know Jake Paul would jump at the chance to fight Floyd, especially if the money is right.

These Paul Brothers have somehow turned boxing into even more of a sh*t show than it already was..
