Previously there was a report saying that 50 Cent said Floyd Mayweather is “scared to death” of fighting Manny Pacquiao.  Well that was before the fight was confirmed and contracts were signed.  Now that the fight is on, 50 is reportedly ready to put his money on Floyd; a lot of money!

50 Cent is betting $1.6 million that his frenemy Floyd Mayweather Jr. will beat Manny Pacquiao.

The rap star was recently asked who would win the fight and said, “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.

50 and Floyd’s relationship is as back and forth as Chris Brown and Karrueche.  But even if they weren’t friends again there’s plenty of people willing to bet that Floyd will win.

In any event, it’s not a bad bet to make, Mayweather is of course the frontrunner with Pacquiao being the underdog.  But man if the unthinkable happens and Manny wins, 50 can take the hit but it’s still a pretty big one.
