Speaking on his YouTube channel Thiccc Boy, Schaub cited money problems as the reason for Mayweather's decision to pursue these exhibition bouts:

"It's easy money for Floyd... He hasn't paid Logan [Paul] yet. If you don't have money problems, why are you doing this?"

Schaub added that while Mayweather has exorbetant assets and has made a lot of money during his professional fighting career, he cannot comprehend why the undefeated boxer is still fighting:

"I think he made like $8 million here which to him is a far cry from his hay day. It's a s**t ton of money, but if you're Floyd and you have all these Bugattis... Just the maintenance on a Bugatti is about $60-80 grand a year."

Jake Paul slams Floyd Mayweather over pointless exhibition bouts

Floyd Mayweather claimed in a recent interview with TMZSports that although he commends Jake Paul's ability to promote and win fights, any professional boxer like himself can beat 'The Problem Child'.

"I think he [Jake Paul] was doing a sit-down on a podcast once. He talked about it [fight with Floyd Mayweather] and he said, 'I don't want to do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. I'm only doing real fights.' And of course, I can't get high up in weight, but I'll fight him in a real fight at the weight that I'm at."

Check out Mayweather's comments in the video below:

Paul responded by criticizing Mayweather for putting up exhibition bouts against "no-name guys" and stated that he welcomes the challenge to fight the retired boxer:

“All right, ladies and gentlemen, picture this. It’s 2022, Floyd Mayweather is ruining his legacy by fighting no-name guys, wasting his fans' money, wasting his fans' time. He doesn’t even know the names of the guys he’s fighting... To make some money to pay his tax bills."
