A few weeks ago 50 Cent announced his new venture into boxing promotion, with Floyd Mayweather at the helm of it all. Now with today’s announcement, seems things have changed he’s now reportedly formed a new promotional company with Philippine’s Superstar Manny Pacquioa. According to Boxing Scene, the company was supposed to include 50, Manny, and Floyd. During a recent appearance on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, 50 confirmed that everything isn’t all good between him and Floyd right now.
[The issues between us] really comes from…everybody around him is waiting on the next time he feels generous,” he said, “and I have a lot [of money] so I don’t wait for nobody. I’ll go do what I gotta do. I don’t have to sit around and wait for the next time he feels like giving somebody something.
50 also pointed out that Mayweather has changed a little bit since doing time.
Me and Floyd is always gonna be cool, he said. [But] he is different. [There’s been] a different side of Floyd coming out of the pen. That’s all.
Manny Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz confirmed the business deal.
“50 Cent and I have been talking now for maybe the last two months,” Koncz told Boxingscene. “They approached us with the idea to form a promotional company. Initially it was going to be 50 Cent, Manny and Floyd. But right now I don’t think Floyd is going to be a part of it. I explained the idea to Manny. We already have a promotional company, MP Promotions, and we have already done three separate promotions from Top Rank… on a smaller scale. I have to take the blame for that. I’m in charge of it. There’s an element missing there, but I have so much to do with Manny – that I haven’t got that company to where I want it.”
What do you think of all of this? Do you think 50 cent betray Mayweather? Or is it more to it then that?
