Fans were already speculating a fight, which was hinted at by the increasing trash talk and training. Paul has called Mayweather out some weeks ago, stating that he could destroy his legacy with one punch. "These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I'm not the one for the kid games," is what Mayweather said in response, while also bringing up Connor McGregor indirectly.
