Diddy made headlines this week
for putting a cool quarter million
dollars on Floyd Mayweather and
50 Cent—as is his custom—blew
that wager out of the water. The
Money Team’s resident MC is
putting up $1.6 million on his on-
again-off-again friend
Mayweather to defeat Manny
Pacquiao in Saturday night’s
highly-anticipated boxing bout.
But Fif has some guaranteed
money coming in even if Money
Mayweather does go down for
the first time in his career.
According to TMZ, the G-Unit
General will be performing Friday
night in Las Vegas at Drai’s
Nightclub and is expected to pull
in half a million bucks for his
show, with another $500K lined
up in Atlantic City through his
Effen Vodka two weeks later.
Of course, there’s a lot of history
between these two. Back in
August, 50 put up $750,000 that
Mayweather couldn’t read a full
page of a Harry Potter book
without messing up. That
sparked a back and forth
between the two that ended last
week, when Mayweather and 50
were spotted together for the
first time in months and
announced that The Money
Team, their joint boxing venture
that was made official in 2012
but dates back years before, was
back together.
50 Cent’s $1.6 million would be a
literal drop in the bucket for a
bout billed as the Fight Of The
Century, which is predicted to
pull in somewhere around $400
million in revenue. And either
way, Pacquiao and Mayweather
—and no doubt 50 as well—are
guaranteed to bring in huge
figures. So, with fight night fast
approaching on May 2, who do
you got?
