Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao: Will 50 Cent As A Promoter Finally Work Out A Fight? (Video)

Last week, July 16, the New York City Athletic Commission awarded a license to Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson to promote fights under his company, TMT Promotions (The Money Team).

50 Cent plans on being Floyd Mayweather's boxing promoter once he is released on Aug. 3 from the Clark County Detention Center, where he has been serving time since June 1 for domestic abuse conviction.

On Wednesday night, during a Twitter disagreement with Oscar De La Hoya, whose Golden Boy Promotions has promoted Mayweather's past six fights on a fight-by-fight basis.

De La Hoya first tweeted:

"Everyone wanting to be a boxing promoter? Good luck."

50 Cent responded by saying:

"I don't gamble Floyd do, but I bet you won't be promoting Floyd Mayweather no more. TMT Promotions."

All tweets have been since deleted.

50 Cents eagerness to want to become Mayweather's promoter has sparked much conversation about what this could mean for the future. It also brings up questions on whether we will finally see a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight in works.
