50 Cent Pulls Out of TMT Promotions, Now in Talks With Pacquiao

The much talked about boxing promotion collaboration between 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather seems to be dead. RingTV.com has reported that fighter Billy Dibs contract with TMT has been moved over to Mayweather promotions. A representative from Dib’s legal camp has said that “”50 Cent is no longer involved in boxing.”

With that relationship dead, it looks like 50 still wants a crack at boxing promoting, so much so that 50 Cent is in talks with Mayweather’s foe, Manny Pacquiao.

“50 Cent and I have been talking now for maybe the last two months. They approached us with the idea to form a promotional company. Initially it was going to be 50 Cent, Manny and Floyd. But right now I don’t think Floyd is going to be a part of it. I explained the idea to Manny. … I think with 50 Cent, with his entertainment connections and his popularity there, combining that with Manny’s popularity and expertise in boxing – we can bring a new flavor to boxing – we can excite some young boxers and I think we can sign some top quality boxers. I spoke to 50 Cent tonight and confirmed that we’re going to go forward. Manny is coming here this weekend for other business, but we’re all excited about it.”

We will have to wait and see what becomes of this relationship but for more on the beef with Mayweather and 50 Cent I leave you with the following:

“[The issues between us] really comes from … everybody around him is waiting on the next time he feels generous. And I have a lot [of money], so I don’t wait for nobody,” 50 told the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show.” “I’ll go do what I gotta do. I don’t have to sit around and wait for the next time he feels like giving somebody something.”

In other Pacquiao news, Pac-Man has decided he will take on Manuel Marquez for a 4th time. At this point, I don’t care about a Mayweather/Pacman fight. My intrigue in the fight has officially died.
