Jake Paul isn't afraid of getting under the skin of a potential opponent, but took things to a new level when he snatched the cap off Floyd Mayweather's head, much to the boxing great's displeasure.
Paul's brother, Logan Paul, will fight the undefeated former world champion on June 6th in Miami.
But at the press conference, all the talk was on Jake, the younger of the two, after he snatched Mayweather's hat during a face-off.
Paul's antics saw him banned from attending the bout, which will take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
But for the controversial YouTube star, it was an "absurd moment" that he found "hilarious".
Speaking to former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen, Paul explained exactly what happened when Mayweather - who shouted "I'll kill him" at the 24-year-old - went at him.
"Hey, it's show business," he said. "I didn’t think it was gonna go that viral. I thought it was gonna be like, ‘This is funny, Jake Paul is an immature little kid’ – which, by the way, that’s what I was going for.
"I was [thinking], this is gonna be hilarious. I'm gonna be like a little kid stealing someone's hat on the playground," he said.
Paul went on to explain that Mayweather's team seemed to be solely focused on getting the boxer's hat back instead of trying to start a brawl.
“It was sort of sensory overload with everything that was going on,” he added. “There was like eight guys around me, all grabbing me, some hitting me in the leg. I’m holding onto (Mayweather’s) hat; I was holding onto his hat for dear life. I was like, ‘No! I’m not letting go!’
"That was the main thing that they were concerned about. They were like, ‘Give us the f*****g hat! Give the hat!’ And I was like, ‘Nooooooo!’ And then finally they got the hat.
“And then, yeah, I just see this angry Floyd Mayweather. I couldn’t believe it. One of his security guards had my shirt wrapped around his hand, and so I couldn’t get away.
"He just comes running at me, and he’s throwing punches over the security guard, and I’m literally just like, ‘Oh, wow, this is crazy.’
"The funny thing about it was that none of the punches were even coming close to me, and he actually punched his own security guard in the side of the head. But, yeah, [it was an] absurd moment, hilarious.”
