Floyd Mayweather pulled no punches when discussing the Paul brothers with Jimmy Fallon.

‘Money’ fought Logan in a boxing exhibition bout in 2021 which ended in a stalemate.

The showdown is best remembered for Jake stealing Mayweather’s baseball cap and getting punched by a bodyguard in the build-up.

Logan has since moved into WWE while his sibling saw a fight against Canelo Alvarez fall through after defeating a 58-year-old Mike Tyson to take his boxing record to 11-1.

Floyd, who has been fighting in a series of exhibition fights since beating Conor McGregor to retire 50-0 in 2017, appeared on The Tonight Show to discuss his rivalry with the brothers.

Jake has called out the 48-year-old and boasted of drawing 60 million viewers to Netflix for his bout against Iron Mike.

“When you’re watching boxing for free, you can have millions and millions and millions — hundreds of millions of views — but when you’re watching Floyd Mayweather, you have to pay,” insisted the former champion, who was keen to play down the boast. “I did pay-per-view numbers, check the record.”

Logan celebrated after going the distance in his eight-round exhibition against the PPV record holder, who is worth an estimated $1.1 billion.

Money was not impressed and aimed a brutal dig at the wrestler.

“Me and Logan had an exhibition and that’s why he moved to WWE because he wanted to hold me the whole night,” he joked. “I think WWE is good for Logan.”

Fallon took his chance to ask if Mayweather would put his undefeated record on the line to fight Paul, who is insisting on a pro bout.

“Easy, too easy,” he replied. “At 48, too easy.”

Many pundits slated Paul for taking on former heavyweight king Tyson when he was approaching his 60th birthday.

Surprisingly, Mayweather wasn’t among them.

“What he’s doing is kinda cool,” Mayweather said on the It Is What It Is podcast. “If he can continue to steal money and they match him the way they match him, I can’t knock his hustle.

“If they continue to match him how they do it, more power to him.”

Paul seems unlikely to tempt the 15-belt world champion out of retirement.

But Alvarez, who lost an epic showdown with Money in 2013, appeared to be a real possibility.

Talks over a May 3 collision in Las Vegas were reportedly at an advanced stage before the Mexican pulled out to sign a lucrative four-fight deal with Riyadh Season.

Bruno Surace and Jermall Charlo are now the frontrunners to face the former pound-for-pound king in May, while discussions over a September showdown with Terence Crawford have re-ignited.

“Breaking news: Canelo Alvarez ducked me Jake Paul and is now an owned slave with no regard for the pride of the Mexican people who support him on US soil,” a fuming Jake wrote on X.

“It’s not surprising when his whole career he has done nothing for the sport of boxing outside the ring.

“I’m the new face of boxing. You cannot have the biggest fight of 2025 without my name involved. When all of your events tank and lose money you will all realize who the king of the sport is. 28 years old.

“Biggest fight in boxing history. My own boss. Not owned. 5 years in. All of you felines want to see me fail, but god has other plans. It’s the era of good. The era of the elephant. It’s the era of MVP.”
