“Everyone, even the majority of athletes, are jealous of me, it’s crazy… Not even in the best of times could you attract a million people. You couldn’t sell a stadium. Who at 58 could sell an 80,000-seat stadium? Why do you think he [Jake Paul] “Does he want to fight with me and not with anyone else?” he highlighted.
