50 Cent Says He'd Fight Floyd Mayweather But He's Too Big

50 Cent says he would fight Floyd Mayweather - if he wasn't too big for the boxer.

The rapper has a longstanding beef with Mayweather and has indicated that he wouldn't mind going toe-to-toe with the undefeated champion.

Speaking on V-103's The Morning Culture, the 45-year-old said: "I'd fight Floyd. I don't think I could make weight though.

"Or he'd just have to let me not get down to 150. I tried, I looked like a homeless person. I could make it down to probably like, 180."

The pair used to be pals, but have been trading insults for almost 10 years now.

Mayweather said the relationship fell apart following a business dispute.

Speaking on the Champside podcast, he said: "You can't hang out with me every day for years then all of a sudden if I don't give you half of my company you're like 'you're dumb, you're stupid, you can't do this and you can't do that'.

"But if I can't do all these things, why are you hanging around with me? That's all I'm trying to add.

"If I'm such a person that doesn't know certain things, and I'm not that sharp, why you want to be around with me every day."

Until recent years, you would have said the very idea of 50 Cent and Mayweather taking their beef to the ring would be preposterous, given that one of them is a musician and the other a boxer. But in recent times, these rules have gone out of the window, with YouTubers picking up huge pay packets from bouts.

And one man who absolutely adores a big pay day is Floyd 'Money' Mayweather.

After hanging up his gloves, Mayweather returned to box UFC fighter Connor McGregor and Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa.

Next month, he is due to fight YouTuber Logan Paul.

So yes, 50 Cent vs Floyd Mayweather seems hugely unlikely and frankly plain daft, but who even knows what the hell is going on anymore?
