50 Cent Puts Feud With Floyd Mayweather Aside As He Roots For 'Money' In Mega Bout Versus Manny Pacquiao

Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, and Floyd Mayweather might have a fued in the past, but the rapper isn't going to put that issue over the chance to make big bucks as "Money" embarks in a mega bout against Manny Pacquiao.

In an interview with Power 105.1, as relayed by Stuff magazine, 50 Cent was asked who he is betting on in the Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao mega fight.

"I got the champ," 50 Cent said, forgetting about his fued with Floyd Mayweather for a moment. "The champ gonna smoke him. It's gonna look like [the fight] was pumped up for no reason."

He is so confident, in fact, about Floyd Mayweather giving Manny Pacquiao a beat down on their May 2 fight that 50 Cent will bet $1.6 million for his former business partner.

Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent have feuded over social media. During the ALS Bucket Challenge last year, the rapper posted on his Instagram a challenge for the undefeated boxer.

"Floyd will you except my ALS/ESL CHALLENGE: I will donate $750k to a charity of your choice, If you can read a full page out of a Harry Potter book out loud without starting and stopping or fucking up. Lmao," he wrote.

That time, Floyd Mayweather took the high road when told of 50 Cent's challenge.

"I was thinking of something, you know, when you asked me about 50 Cent. If you want to donate money, donate money to the Mike Brown family," Mayweather said. "I shouldn't stop you. Our company, me and Leonard [Ellerbee], we have been donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to different organizations for years without any media, without getting credit. ... The best thing for 50 Cent to do, and there are no hard feelings, is to give that $750,000 to Mike Brown's family."

Michael Brown was an 18-year-old Black man who was shot by police officer Darren Wilson of Ferguson, Missouri in August 2014.
