Boxing: 50 Cent Betting $1.6 Mil On Floyd to beat Manny Pacquiao

$1.6 million? Are you serious? I just hope 50 cent is not putting too much hope or confidence on Floyd, of course we know that bookmakers will give it to Floyd but what about if he .... ..... I rather keep silence. 

TMZ got this and it report below:

How much does confidence cost? If you're 50 Cent, about $1.6 million ... 'cause that's how much the hip-hop star says he's going to bet on his old frenemy Floyd Mayweather Jr. to beat Manny Pacquiao.

50 and his G-Unit runnin' mate Tony Yayo sat down with "The Breakfast Club" this morning -- when Charlamagne Tha God asked Fiddy for his pick for the mega-fight in May.

"Champ 'gon smoke em ... it's gonna look like [the fight] was pumped up for no reason."

So why such a big bet? 50 says he spoke with Floyd at the Chris Brown concert last month -- the first time they've spoken in a while -- and says Mayweather is SUPER focused. 

It's interesting ... considering 50 bashed the hell out of Mayweather on social media last year ... ripping on everything from his spending habits to his reading ability. 

But $1.6 million buys a hell of a lot of olive branches.
