50 Cent says he’s betting $1.6 million on Floyd Mayweather to beat Manny Pacquiao

50 Cent isn’t going to let a personal feud get in the way of a sound business decision. Well, that depends if you include “betting ludicrous amounts of money on boxing” as a business decision.

Less than one year after challenging Floyd Mayweather’s reading skills, 50 Cent is going to bet 160 million cents on his in-ring ability -- yes, a cool $1.6.

His decision to make the bet was announced on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club.” You can hear his reasoning for the bet here.
