FLOYD MAYWEATHER said Jake Paul’s boxing career will be “OVER”; once he faces a “real fighter”; and took a swipe at the age of his opponents.
Paul called Mayweather out to a catchweight bout from 165lb-175lb , before his win over 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva.
And Mayweather appeared unimpressed with Paul’s wins over ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and former UFC pair Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40.
The YouTuber-turned prizefighter, 25, is yet to face a seasoned boxer, despite Silva’s 4-1 record in the ring.
And Mayweather, 45, warned Paul’s time will be up when he does while taking the chance to aim a brutal dig.
He said: “Once he get in there with a real fighter that can really fight, it’s gonna be over.
“So he’s gotta be able to enjoy it while he can.
“Is he doing good? Absolutely, for who he’s fighting - guys that are 50, 40.
“Does he wanna fight me, of course, I’m almost 50 years old so of course he wants to fight me.”;
Paul is lined up with a rescheduled fight with Tommy Fury, 23, who has twice pulled out of their celebrity grudge match.

Fury withdrew in December with a rib injury and then again in August amid a US visa issue which still persists today.
He returns on Sunday night in Dubai , where Mayweather tops the bill in an exhibition against YouTuber Deji, 25.
Paul is set to be ringside on a scouting mission and was urged to focus his attention on Fury, not Mayweather.
Pointing to Fury at the pre-fight press conference, Mayweather said: “Jake Paul’s got problems right here.
“I mean he’s doing good for what he’s doing. Like I said, for what he’s doing.
“It is what it is, it’s just a lot of talk. It’s different when you’re at the highest level.”;
