After taking shots at one another on Twitter.com, 50 Cent and Mayweather get an offer from billionaire Alki David and his Celebrity Boxing business partner Damon Feldman; for $5million dollars. The duo expects 50 Cent and Mayweather to spar for real with proposed fight consisting of three two-minute rounds which can happen in Las Vegas on December 14th. The pair haven’t responded to the offer yet.
It is understood 50 Cent and Mayweather used to be friends until they had a falling out spell due to unrealised business plans. The rapper severed all ties with the boxer, claiming that the latter didn’t fulfill the promise of funding their project.
The two former friends insult each other last weekend on Twitter. The boxer criticized 50 Cent's declining success as a rapper. The rapper responded by challenging the boxer to fight undefeated Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa.
The boxer has yet to respond to the challenge before getting another offer from Feldman, the same man who tried to entice Drake and Chris Brown to participate in a charity fight, after they were allegedly involved in a bar brawl over R&B beauty Rihanna.
