Speaking about a potential matchup with Jake Paul, Mayweather said:
"We don't know what the future holds but we will see. I thought after Logan, probably Jake. We don't know. We'll see."

Jake Paul and Floyd Mayweather recently got involved in a heated altercation at a presser for the latter's upcoming fight against Logan. It didn't take long before things got physical. Mayweather and his team roughed up Jake after the latter removed Floyd's cap during their heated verbal exchange.
Logan Paul later claimed he was relieved his brother didn't get killed in the scuffle with Mayweather and his team. In an episode of the Impaulsive podcast, Logan addressed the incident and thanked Mayweather's bodyguards for handling the situation well.
“Shout-out to Floyd’s security guard – all of them – for not killing Jake or anyone. They could’ve f**ked him up. And Floyd punched Jake in the face. And I don’t know how, not one camera caught it. Not one camera caught…Did you see his black eye?... Cool as f**k. I said the same thing.”
