How much does confidence cost? If you’re 50 Cent, about $1.6 million … ’cause that’s how much the hip-hop star says he’s going to bet on his old frenemy Floyd Mayweather Jr. to beat Manny Pacquiao.
50 and his G-Unit runnin’ mate Tony Yayo sat down with “The Breakfast Club” this morning — when Charlamagne Tha God asked Fiddy for his pick for the mega-fight in May.
“Champ ‘gon smoke em … it’s gonna look like [the fight] was pumped up for no reason.”
So why such a big bet? 50 says he spoke with Floyd at the Chris Brown concert last month — the first time they’ve spoken in a while — and says Mayweather is SUPER focused.
It’s interesting … considering 50 bashed the hell out of Mayweather on social media last year … ripping on everything from his spending habits to his reading ability.
But $1.6 million buys a hell of a lot of olive branches.
