Security 'will be on their toes' if Jake Paul attends Floyd Mayweather's exhibition against Logan

• Jake Paul hasn't been banned from the Floyd Mayweather exhibition against his brother Logan.
• Stephen Espinoza of Showtime said that if Jake does attend, security will be on their toes.
• Logan Paul and Mayweather face off at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida Sunday.

Security "will be on their toes" if Jake Paul attends Floyd Mayweather's boxing exhibition against his brother and fellow creator Logan Paul on June 6.

That's according to Stephen Espinoza, president of Showtime Sports, which is broadcasting the event from Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.

Jake Paul, YouTuber, novice boxer, and professional provocateur attended a pre-fight press conference at the open-air Miami venue last month but had no intention of just blending into the crowd.

The 24-year-old untied Mayweather's shoelaces as he was giving a speech on stage, and approached the 44-year-old to verbally abuse him in front of reporters when the media event had finished.

Jake Paul then snatched his hat, tried to run with it, but got punched by Mayweather and his security team. Jake's handlers shoved him into a locked bathroom to protect him while the fighter stormed up and down hallways shouting: "I'll kill that mother f---er."

Jake left the arena with a black eye, while Logan fumed at how Mayweather had made it personal. Logan also told Jake that he was banned from the Hard Rock Stadium.

Insider asked the venue if this was true, and a spokesperson told us that it had not banned Jake. Espinoza also told us that Showtime hasn't banned him either.

"We certainly wouldn't bar him, and we haven't," said the 51-year-old powerbroker. "As things cool off, and there's some distance there, I don't think there's that much of an ongoing threat."

Jake, though, has proven history of running amok around fighters, and at combat sports events - like when he crashed UFC 262, confronted the UFC commentator and former two-weight champion Dan Cormier, and attracted chants of "f--- Jake Paul," from an agitated crowd.

"I think if he is in the arena, people will be on their toes," Espinoza told Insider.

"Like, [Paul's gotcha hat incident] was very calculated - it wasn't a spur of the moment thing. It was pre-planned, very effective. I don't think he'll catch anyone by surprise if he's got anything up his sleeve again."

Mayweather and Logan's bout is the only exhibition at Sunday's boxing festival.

The Mayweather Promotions on Showtime PPV event carries an eight-bout card featuring old war dogs Jean Pascal and Badou Jack in a light heavyweight bout, and a super welterweight fight between Jarrett Hurd and Luis Arias.

Up-and-comers Viddal Riley, Adrian Benton, and Micky Scala feature in separate bouts, and promising American teenagers Dorian Khan Jr. and Jalil Hackett make separate debuts, too.
