Jake Paul banned from attending brother Logan's fight with Floyd Mayweather

Jake Paul has been banned from attending his brother Logan's exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather, after he clashed with the boxing legend at the press conference.

A brawl broke out after Jake snatched Mayweather's cap while the pair were arguing about fighting each other.

Jake has since been banned from attending the June 6 event which will see his brother take on Mayweather.

In a video posted on Logan's Instagram story, he tells his brother: "They're not letting you into the fight. You're literally banned from the Hard Rock Stadium on June 6."

Jake then responds: "Swipe up, I’ll buy the fight. I don't care."

Speaking to the Athletic after the brawl, Mayweather said: "I don’t want to be disrespected. You can’t keep touching me and disrespecting me.

"Jake Paul wanted some attention, and he got it and so did I.

"It’s all about entertainment. I want to give the people something fun to look forward to. For the last year and more, it’s been all about the virus. We need to all step past that and have fun again.

"I’m not here to count the money in anyone else’s pockets. They put in their work on YouTube and made a lot of money.

"Good for them that a lot of people know who they are. I built who I am with hard work and dedication in this sport, and everyone will see that."

Logan, meanwhile, has claimed their fight will "be a war", saying: "This s*** is so personal; this s*** was going to be kind of cute and we were going to put on a good show but now it's going to be a f****** fight, it's going to be a war.

"Floyd looked pretty emotional, he can act cool all he likes on stage but I think my brother is doing my job for me."
