For years, Floyd Mayweather and Curtis Jackson -- aka 50 Cent -- were the best of friends. The two had a falling out in 2012 and have been involved in an ongoing public feud ever since. But with Mayweather squaring off with Manny Pacquiao in their May 2 mega-fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, 50 Cent is not going to let that cloud his judgement on who will win the fight. On Tuesday, March 2, 50 Cent was on Power 105's The Breakfast Club and the fight was a subject that came up. How much does 50 Cent intend on betting on Mayweather, exactly?
"Probably like 1.6 [milllion dollars]," Jackson said. "I've been thinking this out for quite some time."
Jackson also indicated that he saw Mayweather face to face recently, and things might not be as tense between the two as they used to be. The two ran into each other at a Chris Brown concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last week.
"They came backstage to talk," Jackson said. "So we got a chance to kick it a little bit."
Last August, Jackson shared a clip of Mayweather stumbling over reading an advertisement, later poking fun at Floyd's literacy.
Mayweather served time in summer 2012 after pleading guilty to a reduced domestic violence charge against the mother of two of his children. The falling out with Jackson occured around this time and the rapper started his own boxing promotion company, which has achieved mixed results in the time since.
This is not the first time 50 Cent has showed he may have softened up on his feud with Mayweather. In December, Mayweather was a witness to the tragic murder-suicide of Stephanie Moseley and Earl Hayes while on FaceTime with Hayes. Jackson posted something on Instagram, calling Mayweather his "little brother" after the incident.
Is it possible the two will reunite in time for the defining fight of Mayweather's career?
