As the days draw closer to the May 2nd mega fight, you can expect so many antics from both camps for maximum entertainment. Boxing, more than any other sport is the sport for the showman.

But whilst we eagerly await our entertainment from the two main protagonists, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson has decided to fire the first salvo and get people talking. The erstwhile member of the ‘Money’ team has no doubt who is going to win the bout, and he is willing to bet a sizeable amount of bucks to prove it.

He was on Power 105.1 ’s breakfast club, talking to fellow G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo when he made the proclamation, via MailOnline.

“I got the champ. The champ’s gonna smoke him. It’s gonna look like the fight was pumped up for no reason”

The champ, of course, is Floyd Mayweather: 50’s betting $1.6m that Mayweather would retain his crown and keep his unbeaten record, and in the event of that the rapper would pocket a cool $2.3m.

The pair are already steeped in training for the bout, and are scheduled to meet the media on March 11, the only time that would happen until the week of the fight.

If I had $1.6m, I’d bet on the champ too.
