Comments Thread For: 50 Cent on His Relationship With Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[Slick_Rick]

50 is clearly unaware of Lottery soda.

[Sugar Q]

Alright guys, I didn't want to comment on any of what 50 has been saying lately but here goes. 50 Cent is a snake and some of you have already figured that out. This guy is sensitive as a little girl and you'll see it come out more and more. As a big fan of hip-hop I've watched his career pretty closely and can honestly stand by my statements. He turns his back on his friends, starts ridiculous beefs just for album sales, and tries desperately to out hustle his rivals like Diddy and Jay-Z.

His SMS headphone line isn't selling well. I live in NYC and have NEVER seen a single pair on the streets. ANYWHERE. His films aren't doing well or just straight to DVD releases. His album sales are slumping and hardly anyone in hip-hop is really checking for 50 anymore. Why? Because all the crazy stuff he's done over the years. He just comes off as a hater and wants people to side with him in all matters. He's never once admitted he was wrong about anything. Dre hardly talks to him anymore and most of his friends aren't around like they used to be. He burned a ton of bridges in his prime and now suffers for it.

Now on to boxing, he claims Floyd is like a brother to him. Then why in the world is he talking bad about Floyd in every interview? If my brother and I had a real beef, I wouldn't be airing his dirty laundry out for the world. Even if we weren't related by blood but still considered each other family, you just don't do that. He could easily call Floyd up and try to smooth things out, but he wants to do all that for publicity. Say what you want about Floyd, but the guy has pretty much ceased any conversation about 50 for the past few months. You're Floyd's brother but doing business with the enemy? Seriously.

And for the performance last night, that audience was quiet as a library. Who knows about 50's new song? Like c'mon son! Hardly anyone there probably realized 50 has a new single. He's saying he's trying to promote Gamboa and his fighters and that's cool, but has anyone really taken a second to think who he has on his roster? Gamboa? Talented but chinny and makes dumb business decisions. Goes from a $1 Million fight with Rios to $50,000 for last night's fight. Andre Dirrell? A guy who wasted an opportunity in the Super Six by faking an injury because he didn't want to face Ward.

Fans of boxing I say to you, don't trust this guy. I'm sure some of you may call me a hater or some kind of Floyd lover, but I'm just calling this guy 50 out. He's bad for boxing and is a snake. Just wait till his fighters start taking L's and see how much he wants to promote then. Hopefully I'm wrong, but history has a funny way of repeating itself.

Leaving this on a positive note, I will give 50 props for the SK Energy Drink venture. That's positive and I take my hat off to him for supplying those in need with food.

EXTREMELY WELL SAID!!!!! Your not my brother then in the next sentence your dissing me. Mad props to Floyd for rising above the BS. Shows what great business timing 50 has because he latched onto Top Prank when it was going down. Last night was karma for Top Prank.

Not disagreeing with you but you have to admit he has a hell of a roster for a guy who is just starting out as a promoter. Everyone else has to start with amateur shows and club fights. This guy starts out at the finish line.

Simply put, 50 cent is not a yes man. Yes people like the ones that surround Floyd will destroy Mayweather.

I'm sure Haymon is making sure Floyd has some investments, he is the one in control of Floyd funds and PPV money. He's probably not making enough on those investments to maintain the lifestyle he's living but I don't see Floyd going broke like Mike Tyson.. all Floyd has to do is fight 4 times by 2015 and he's made 100 million

Are you forgetting that Floyd went broke after taking only 18 months off? His damn cars were being repossessed by the IRS, and Oscar De La Hoya cut him a check for like 12 million before the Marquez fight so there wouldn't be a lean on his purse too.

I am no hater nor lover of Floyd, but the man will definitely go broke if he continues to live the way the lives after retiring from the ring. And quick.

al haymon is a P1mp

.50 cant is business man while al Haymon and sammy are pimps.

Great Great job Mr. Jones. I couldn't have said it better myself. 50 cent is the ultimate snake in grass. Gamboa will find out soon enough. Especially if he keep looking like he did last night.

[sofreshhh]

50 is actually right sometimes you have to spend money to make money.we have seen many fighters go broke within 5 years of being retried floyd needs to find something to full back on when its all over.

Who's that chick in your sig?

[GRUSTLER]

You're probably right. I'm sure Haymon probably has him set up for life after boxing.

I doubt it. Haymon is just worried about getting his money. Floyd has to be smart and invest his own money because if he leaves it up to other people then he will be like Redd Foxx. why is Ellerbe even there if Haymon is his adviser? I don't understand Ellerbe's role.

Oh definitely his roster is impressive. Some promoters would kill for that. But I think his association will be more harmful for the fighter than anything. 50 is all out for 50. He doesn't care about those fighters. Hopefully I'm wrong, but we'll see what happens once fighters start losing or not being as dedicated. I wish the fighters all the best because I love the sport of boxing, but 50 is like a cancer. You see it all the time with celebs trying to attach themselves to boxing/boxers then bail out when the party stops. Watch how they do Pac now that he lost.
