Logan Paul thought the Mayweather exhibition was going to be 'cute,' but now says it's 'f---ing personal'
- Logan Paul is fuming at the way his media event with Floyd Mayweather descended into chaos.
- Paul's younger brother Jake tried to steal Mayweather's hat. He ended up with a black eye.
- "This s--- is so personal now," Logan said. "It's going to be a f---ing fight, bro … a f---ing war."
Logan Paul thought his June 6 boxing exhibition with Floyd Mayweather was going "to be kind of cute," but since all hell broke loose at a media event Thursday the fight has become "so f---ing personal."
Paul made the comments after the events that transpired at a press conference at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The conference was to generate interest in the pair's unofficial fight next month - a Showtime pay-per-view.
And generate interest it did after Logan's brother Jake caused chaos.
The trouble started when he untied Mayweather's shoelaces on the stage.
He moved to a more efficient trolling distance of the former boxer when the press event had finished.
As the 44-year-old was speaking to reporters, Jake stole Mayweather's hat before trying to run away.
The YouTube creator did not get very far as Mayweather, as well as his bodyguards, chased Paul, threw punches at him, and left him with a ripped shirt and a black eye.
"He told me he was going to do it [and] I told him not to," Logan Paul told reporters, according to Boxing Scene.
That initial skirmish failed to sooth the tensions as Mayweather stormed around backstage, screaming: "I'll kill that motherf---er."
"This s--- is so personal now," Logan said. "This s--- is so f---ing personal. I thought this s--- was going to be kind of cute, and we'd go out and put on a show.
"But it's going to be a fight, bro. It's going to be a f---ing fight, bro. It's going to be a f---ing war."
