"He fumbled the biggest bag of his life. Now he will be watching at home, paying me sixty dollars instead of getting paid millions of dollars to fight me."
Paul also mentioned that he had previously fought with a broken nose and while battling illness.
"Get the f--k over it, this is boxing. It's official. He was scared. I think the pressure got to him, the s--t talk got to him. That's the bad news guys."

"I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib," Fury said in a statement.
"The beginning of my camp was going so incredibly and I never expected anything to come in my way from a victory on December 18th."
Fury said he is still hoping to fight Paul in the future.
"I can't express how disappointed I am and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year. I want this fight to still happen more than anything," he said.
"I'm now regretfully putting my focus on recovery and a further reschedule date."
He will be replaced on the card by former UFC star Tyron Woodley, who will step in on short notice for a re-match against Paul.
When the pair first fought in August, Paul took the win via split decision - although many believed the judge's scorecards made the fight look closer than it was.
Woodley will be paid $500,000 for his troubles, with Paul pledging an additional half a million to his opponent if he secures a stoppage.
"Contractually he is getting an extra $500,000 if he knocks me out," Paul said.
The card will also feature boxing debuts for former NBA star Deron Williams and NFL running back Frank Gore, who will fight each other.
