If there\u2019s one constant in hip-hop and sports beef culture, it\u2019s that 50 Cent<\/span><\/span><\/strong> never misses a chance to troll Floyd Mayweather<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. This week was no exception. Following news that Mayweather has filed a massive $340 million lawsuit over allegedly missing fight payouts, 50 Cent jumped straight to social media to remind his longtime rival that he had warned him for years.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, Mayweather is suing Showtime<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u2014now owned by Paramount Global<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u2014as well as former Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. The lawsuit alleges that Espinoza helped Mayweather\u2019s longtime adviser Al Haymon<\/span><\/span><\/strong> divert tens of millions of dollars through a \u201clong-running and elaborate scheme of financial fraud.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The filing claims that money owed directly to Mayweather was instead placed into bank accounts controlled by Haymon, including revenue generated from some of the biggest fights in combat sports history\u2014most notably Mayweather\u2019s blockbuster bouts with Manny Pacquiao<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and Conor McGregor<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. Curiously, while Showtime and Espinoza are named defendants, Haymon himself is not listed in the lawsuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter 50 Cent, who has spent nearly a decade publicly urging Mayweather to cut ties with Haymon. Reacting to the lawsuit, the rapper posted a brutal Instagram caption mocking the boxing legend for allegedly being outmaneuvered financially. \u201cI told you let me read the contracts,\u201d he wrote, adding that Mayweather now needed to \u201clace up\u201d for another big payday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their feud is nothing new. Over the years, 50 Cent has repeatedly claimed he was a key architect behind Mayweather\u2019s \u201cMoney\u201d era, a claim partially supported by Dana White<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, who has said it was 50 Cent who helped convince him that a Mayweather\u2013McGregor crossover fight could actually happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite his astronomical career earnings, Mayweather\u2019s finances have long been the subject of rumors and speculation. While there is no confirmed evidence that he is broke, even critics admit he has a well-documented history of extravagant spending. Still, few doubt his ability to generate massive revenue if he returns to the ring\u2014or the spectacle circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports have linked Mayweather to a potential high-profile bout with Mike Tyson<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, which was rumored to take place in early 2026 but now appears stalled. In typical 50 Cent fashion, the mockery came with a twist: alongside the insults, he hinted at helping Mayweather secure yet another lucrative fight\u2014this time against Terence Crawford<\/span><\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s trolling, genuine advice, or both, one thing is certain: when Floyd Mayweather\u2019s money is in the headlines, 50 Cent will always be nearby, laughing\u2014and saying \u201cI told you so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
