Floyd Mayweather sent a chilling warning that he'll hurt Jake Paul so badly he'll end up in a neck brace if the YouTuber ever disrespects him again.
The former pound-for-pound boxing king and Logan Paul enter the ring for an exhibition fight this weekend, but in a promotional event last month, Mayweather and Logan's brother Jake got into a furious mass brawl after the younger Paul snatched Floyd's hat.
US channel Showtime has shared new, behind-the-scenes footage of the incident and asked Mayweather for his reflections on what happened - and he was in no mood to forgive and forget.
Reflecting on the facial damage suffered by Jake Paul after their clash, Mayweather said: "I'm nothing to play with. I'm not for the jokes, [it was] totally disrespectful.

"That's why you ended up with two black eyes, your nose got f***ed up and your teeth got chipped.
"Keep f***ing with me and next time you're going to end up in a neck brace."
Jake Paul was initially banned from this weekend's fight between the 44-year-old Mayweather and 26-year-old Logan for fear of further disruption. But that ban has since been lifted, so there's a chance we could see Money Mayweather exchange blows with two Pauls in one night.

The younger Paul brother now has has own forthcoming fight to focus on, however. Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley is set to be announced as Jake Paul's fourth opponent in a pro boxing ring.
However, as much as it may pain combat sports purists, it seems inevitable that we will get a Mayweather vs Jake Paul showdown between them given the media interest, apparent bad blood and the fact that the 3-0 (three KOs) Jake appears a slightly better boxer than his brother, who sports an 0-1 record after his points loss to fellow YouTuber KSI.
Jake has since opened up on the blow Floyd caught him with during their brawl, claiming that the multiple world champion "doesn't hit hard".

He told Showtime: "It was an uppercut. You hear it smack. His bodyguards were holding me back and my face was like this and he's just like, 'What the f***?' And hits me with an uppercut.
"He freaks out and says he wants to kill me and it's pretty hilarious... I told my brother this; the guy doesn't hit hard."
Will Jake Paul be wearing another new hat or a fresh neck brace the next time himself and Floyd cross paths? Only time will tell.
