Paul details to Schaub how the Mayweather bout came to fruition, explains where his love and passion for boxing came from and speculates on a potential clash with his brother and fellow pro boxer Jake Paul, who scored a viral sensation over former NBA star Nate Robinson last month.
Following are excerpts from the episode:
On how the fight with Floyd Mayweather came about…
Paul – “I signed [the contract] and then after just months and months going back and forth, figuring out dates – we had three different dates – and how to announce it and just the strategy behind it. It finally came to fruition and this event that supersedes everything I’ve ever done in my life, finally solidified.”
On his boxing skills and last fight against KSI…
Paul – “I think we surprise a lot of people. It’s what I’ve done my whole life. I’ve just exceeded expectations and I don’t think there’s anything online that’s representative of how good I am or the level at which I’m operating at this point in my life when it comes to boxing. I think my last fight wasn’t indicative in the slightest. I remember after it happened, брато, the bell rang at the sixth round and I had half a tank left…Something just didn’t click that day…A year later, after an ‘L’, you secure a fight with the biggest fighter on the planet. It never really felt like a loss.”
On the rules of the Mayweather bout…
Paul – “I don’t think there’s a weight as of now. Ако ме накарат да отслабна, ще се ядосам. Ще направя нещо по въпроса. Ще се оплача и ще го направя. Това е нещото, надясно? Най-великият боксьор на всички времена се изправя срещу младия бегемот. Влизам там и се извисявам над този пич и това го прави вълнуващо. Това е Дейвид срещу. Голиат. "
На потенциална битка с брат си, Джейк ...
Пол - „Баща ми не иска да правим това. Ако искате моето мнение, Мисля, че е неизбежно. Мисля, че с Джейк след две до четири години ще се избиваме на ринг и си мисля, че това ще бъде едно от най-историческите спортни събития, които се случват някога. "
