Innumerable users on Twitter have rushed to respond to the brawl between Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather on Thursday.

The legendary professional boxer is scheduled to fight Jake Paul’s brother Logan on June 6th. On May 7th, a press conference was held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

However, the event soon got out of hand when Jake Paul decided to square up to Floyd Mayweather. He attempted to run away with the 44-year-old’s hat and was involved in a physical scuffle with him and his bodyguards.

Jake Paul then confronted the former WBC lightweight champion and asked him to set up the two bouts on the same night. The YouTuber told Floyd to set up a double event by calling his manager.

However, Jake Paul decided to try and run away with Mayweather’s β€œhat” instead. The former pro briefly choked him as multiple bodyguards got involved in the scuffle.

Security guards got in between them and stopped Floyd Mayweather as he escaped their grasp for some time and appeared genuinely angry. He rushed after Jake Paul as the internet personality repeatedly said, β€œI’ve got your hat.”

Paul was eventually seen escaping from the commotion with a stretched t-shirt.
