50 Cent sat down and did an interview with The Breakfast Club on New York's Power 105.1 and the topic of Mayweather vs Pacquiao came up.

50 was asked who he thinks is going to win the fight. He said, "I got champ. He's gonna smoke him. It's gonna look like it was pumped up for no reason."

One of the hosts then asked him if he was going to be betting on the match. 50 Cent gave a rather unique answer:

"Probably like 1.6."

He then explained where the specific 1.6 number comes from.

"I've been thinking this out, because I need to make a real bet. He's focused right now."

Many people remember the public beef Floyd and 50 Cent have had over the years, but 50 Cent talked about how they're on good terms.

He said that he's spoken to Mayweather recently and they're fine with one another. 50 explained that all the drama comes out when him and Floyd are not talking. He later referred to Mayweather as his "little bro."

Mayweather has 1/3 early odds to win the fight.
