50 Cent bets $1.6m on Mayweather beating Pacquiao

American rapper 50 Cent is betting $1.6million (£1million) on Mayweather beating Pacquiao on May 2, UK Daily Mail has reported.

50 Cent who goes by the real name Curtis Jackson told The Breakfast Club: “I got the champ,' The champ gonna smoke him. It's gonna look like [the fight] was pumped up for no reason.

The relationship between the rapper and the boxer turned soar after 50 Cent told Mayweather he would donate $750,000 to charity if the boxer managed to read a page of a Harry Potter book.

Mayweather responded by saying on twitter ''I'd be perfect at reading if it was how I had to feed my family.' He also tweeted a picture of his two pay cheques of $70m to prove his wealth.

The pair have since had a frosty relationship.
But with the biggest fight in recent boxing history coming up, there is money to plaster the relationship as 50 Cent rallys support for his former business partner.

This is gonna be a serious and an entertaining fight. Having read Mayweather's history I think this fight will be the best. Having won all fight... that's awesome. No loses, no draws. Yearning to see this bout come on live. Can't wait to see him win his 50th fight as a professional boxer.

yes ooo its gonna be the fight of the century we have waited more than six years for this. I hope mayweather finally gets beat
