FLOYD MAYWEATHER LEAVES “50 CENT” AT CURB!
November 14th, 2012 By Zak Attack
BOXING’S “MONEY TEAM” DEAD UPON FLOYD’S RELEASE
50 Cent & Floyd Mayweather
Sacramento, CA- During Floyd Mayweather Jr’s (43-0, 26 KO) recent jail stint, there were rumors of a new boxing promotional company with Floyd’s longtime friend 50 Cent as co-presidents. Born “Curtis Jackson”, 50 Cent made several high profile signings to the imprint while Floyd was serving his sentence, including unbeaten ex-champ (featherweight or 126 lbs) Cuban sensation Yuriorkis Gamboa (21-0, 16 KO), ex-welterweight (147) titleholder Andre Berto (28-1, 22 KO), and former super middleweight title
(168) challenger Andre Dirrell (21-1, 14 KO).
SO IT WAS FLOYD WHO CHANGED HIS MIND?
Jackson expected he and Floyd to be one upon his release from the Clark County Detention Center. The rapper made a rare error in business dealings by assuming this. Floyd had no interest in partnering with anyone, as he is able to earn large sums of money working largely independently. Now there appears to be bad blood between the two friends as conflicting reports have left the public scratching their heads. It is unclear what caused the feud between these two, but 50 Cent now finds himself on the outside looking in.
THE PICTURE THAT ANNOYED “SENSITIVE” FLOYD
A photo surfaced on the internet of Jackson posing with Mayweather rival Manny Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 KO). Since then, a Twitter war has raged between 50 and Floyd. Jackson has stated that TMT (The Money Team) is no more and has changed the name of his promotional company to SMS Promotions. Time will tell whether or not this venture is successful. Mayweather has been eerily silent since his release from jail, and his future as a fighter remains a mystery.
50 CENT HITS FLOYD BELOW BELT?
Jackson has been implying that Floyd is afraid of Pacquiao, a belief many have held for years.
The fact that Floyd has yet to address this allegation does little to silence the naysayers. Hacks
like Skip Bayless feast on these kinds of rumors, and though Jackson has now backtracked and said he and Floyd were joking, the damage is done. The only way for Floyd to end all of the speculations is to finally lace the gloves up against the Pacman.
Boxing fans have grown incredibly weary of hearing about the superfight between Mayweather
and Pacquiao. The chances of the fight happening look grimmer by the day. Even if it does
finally take place, Pacquiao’s recent subpar performances against Timothy Bradley (29-0, 12 KOs) and Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KOs) have taken some of the luster off of the fight. As the Money Team crumbles, so too does Mayweather’s reputation.
BOXING FANS GIVE FLOYD A PACQUIAO MANDATE!
There is a thin line between becoming a legend and becoming a laughingstock. If Floyd is aiming for legendary status, he must fight Manny as soon as possible.

I cant believe I read this whole article (yawns) shame on me I guess!
Those two are never going to fight. They are both passed their primes now so we’ll never really know. They both robbed us of a super fight.
Just check out Floyd’s instagram..he’s losing much of his fanbase over this….fight pac since u say u can whoop him floyd!! no body likes a loud mouth that dont back it up!!
Martin is right…too many egos involved…this fight aint EVER gonna happen!
Floyd and 50 Cent, two low rent human beings. Who gives a crap what they do.
Martin said it in a nutshell. The fight should have been made at least 3 years ago. Interest has waned considerably and now any fight between them would be perpetrating a fraud on the boxing public. Pacquiao is no longer the fighter he was before he got involved in politics and elected to congress. Anyone who would pay to watch this fight has more money than brains IMO, give the money to a needy family, it will be better spent. R.I.P. Emanuel and Carmen.
well said Jack… better to give the PPV money to a worthy cause of your choice. I will.
What a bunch of bull. You all know that the day of the fight you’ll be glued to your TV.
Pac should have taken the tests.
@todaline
you’re right, i would still watch the fight come fight night/day.
Fake beefs is how Curtis makes his money. He’s getting annoying now.
I’m not convinced any of this is for real. Yes, hip-hop egos and agendas can clash and create fueds.
But this could just as easily be contrived, a split into two artificial “brands” which really creats a built in story line to maket “grudge matches” between Floyd and 50cent fighters whithout having to deal with other promotions.
