After his loss to Tommy Fury the other week, the last thing Jake Paul needs is to get into a scrap with Floyd Mayweather in the middle of the Miami streets. And so it’s no surprise he legged it when the boxing legend confronted him after the Heat/Cavs game on Wednesday:

Probably a smart move all in all, considering Mayweather had a whole army with him. I mean, what is he supposed to do – stand there and get jumped? Fair play to Jake’s bodyguard who at least appeared to be doing his job even if his voice was shaking a little bit.
Jake Paul addressed the situation once he was in a safe space:

I’m leaving the Miami-Heat game, and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere, out of like some side alley waiting for me outside of the stadium.
And they’re like, ‘So what’s up? So what’s all that talk now?’ I’m like, ‘First of all, what did I say to you, Floyd? I just took your hat and you’re still mad about it. Come on, bro.
And then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me to try and jump me. I’m out that b***h, okay. Do you want to run it one on one? No problem. But I’m not dumb, okay.
I’m tough. I don’t need to prove my toughness, but I’m not f**king dumb. I’m not gonna sit there and try to fight 50 dudes.
Naturally, KSI was quick to troll his arch nemesis ahead of a potential bout between them:
Did you just have another wet dream? https://t.co/MEvzEExiTA

That first comment is in reference to Jake Paul claiming he lost to Tommy Fury because he had a wet dream the night before, which zapped all the energy he’d been storing up for the fight. Solid excuse, to be fair.
