Here was a 50 interview:
My role in boxing, me as a promoter, started as a way of me trying to help my friend Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather is the reason why I’m in the sport of boxing. I was trying to help him turn Mayweather Promotions into an actual company.
Then Floyd started to express that he didn't actually want to continue as a partner in the sport of boxing. I told him it’s fine. I’d sign the fighters over and to be honest with you, he didn't want to pay for the fighters, he wanted to try to take ‘em. It changed how I perceived him because it was unnecessary for him to behave that way. I do love and view him like a little brother. He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. You won’t believe the things he’s doing. It’s like a 14-year old kid trying to trick you. (Floyd is like) “send the papers to my lawyer.” He’s got me sending the contracts and agreements to Al Haymon’s lawyer. Trying to figure out how he can take the fighters instead of paying money for the fighters that we’d agreed to. Now I could have gone the other way and obviously sued him for the actual money (he owed), it was obviously a partnership. If I committed to being part of a company and you spent money on me saying you’d give me half the actual money on each of the fighters and later you decided you didn't, you’d still be obligated to do that in a court of law, but I wouldn't take my brother to court. I just continue to do what I actually do and be productive away from that. When I don’t see him do anything away from the sport of boxing to create some sort of financial support it’s a flag and a clear indication that when he’s no longer able to fight, it’s over.
AW – Do you feel Floyd has his strings pulled by Al Haymon?
CJ – Absolutely, of course. That’s what happens. You need to get 50 Cent away from Floyd Mayweather because I’m gonna help him see things he can’t see.
AW – What things would you say they are?
CJ – That’s why, as far as the deals are concerned, there’s shit that will fly by Floyd that won’t fly with me.
