Hall of Fame boxer Floyd Mayweather is praising Jake Paul.
On July 20th, Paul is set to box 58-year-old Mike Tyson at Cowboys stadium in a fight airing live on Netflix.
Ahead of the fight, several pro boxers have criticized the Paul-Tyson matchup due to the 30-year age difference between the two.
Mayweather, however, is praising Paul for being able to “steal money” by fighting Tyson on Netflix.
“What he’s doing is kinda cool. If he can continue to steal money and they match him the way they match him, I can’t knock his hustle.”

Mayweather’s answer isn’t surprising, considering he once said he was the best at “legalized bank robbing” after an exhibition fight vs Logan Paul.
“They say, ‘It’s not all about the money.’ Well, your kids can’t eat legacy. The patches on my trunks, [earned me] $30 million alone,” So who’s really the smartest one in the sport of boxing?
“If you guys don’t wanna see me do no exhibitions, don’t come. Don’t watch. When it comes to legalised bank robbing, I’m the best.”
