50 Cent: Who’s the fool who lost a $100million dollar fight?


Rapper digs as ex-friend Floyd Mayweather…again

Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson has kept the heat on his beef with former best friend Floyd Mayweather by calling the pound for pound star a fool for losing out on a multi-million dollar fight with Manny Pacquiao.

Jackson, who acrimoniously split from Mayweather earlier this year to begin his own SMS Promotions, tweeted the message after Juan Manuel Marquez laid out Pacquiao with a shuddering right hook on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The hip-hop star’s own fighter Yuriorkis Gamboa picked up the interim WBA super-featherweight in an entertaining Fight of the Year contender against Michael Farenas on the same bill and Jackson in not against the Cuban fighting Mayweather in the near future.

Floyd, 35, is pencilled in to fight next on May 4, most probably in Las Vegas on his ‘Cinco de Mayweather’ promotion, but will most likely face Saul Alvarez or Robert Guerrero in what will be his 44th professional fight.

A clash with Pacquiao looks dead in the water after two years of failed back and forth negotiations and unless the Filipino can re-ignite his career in 2013, a money-spinning bout seems destined to never make it to the ring.

As for Jackson and Mayweather, their friendship also looks confined to the scrap-heap after a troubled year and it may just be a matter of time before their promotional companies come head-to-head in combat.

Who's the fool that lost 100 million last night? Cause he rather trick on hoe'sThen fight. SMSaudio

WBN Remembers: "Gypsy Boy" Ernie Smith

Phil D. Jay WBN Editor  (picure by boxrec.com)  After almost a year and a half without one of boxing’s great journeymen, World Boxing News is looking back at the 161-fight career of Worcestershire warrior Ernie Smith, concentrating on his contribution in the ring, rather than the tragic way his life ended out of it. Smith turned professional at super-featherweight in 1998 at the Park Hall Hotel in Wolverhampton, losing a six rounder against Welshman Woody Greenaway.  One month later, Ernie was thrown in with an unknown prospect by the name of Gavin Rees (former world champion and current British Lightweight Champion) who he also took the distance over four rounds. The “Gypsy Boy” then managed to string together a four fight unbeaten run together in early 1999 and ended the year winning five out of his twelve contests, but by this time had already delved into the journeyman pool of boxers with a record of 5-8-1. After settling at the welterweight limit, Ernie ga...
