Jake Paul: Mayweather needs us more than we need him

Love them or hate them the Paul brothers are bringing more eye-balls to combat sports than anyone else right now.

This weekend big brother Logan takes on Floyd Mayweather Jr. in what is being billed as an exhibition bout. And this week it was announced that Jake will return to the ring to face former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in a bout that will air on Showtime.

Jake Paul recently spoke with Brian Campbell of CBS Sports about this weekend’s Mayweather vs. Paul showdown. Paul was asked why he thought Mayweather, a 50-0 pro who retired in 2017, was coming back to face an 0-1 YouTuber.
