Jake Paul claims he beat Floyd Mayweather to signing of promising young boxer

Floyd Mayweather was beaten to the signing of young prospect Ashton Sylve, according to the YouTuber's account of his joining with Most Valuable Promotions.

Paul brought Sylve, a product of JackRabbit Boxing in California, on board to join he and Amanda Serrano in his stable of fighters under the MVP banner. And speaking with rapper Rick Ross on his show BS with Jake Paul, the influencer-turned-boxer claimed that they had to wrestle Sylve's signature away from Mayweather Promotions, who wanted the youngster as well.

Sylve had worked with Paul previously, and is friends with a number of major influencers like Yusef 'Fousey' Erakat and Deen The Great. At just 18-years-old, Sylve is a hot prospect in the sport and expected to become a world champion if he is matched correctly throughout his career.
