50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather's relationship have been on the rocks lately, but the two are trying to work on getting their friendship closer than ever - sort of. In an interview with ESPN's "First Take" the rapper discussed about his opinion about Mayweather's boxing career and if the famous boxer deliberately "ducked" fighting Manny Pacquiao for $100 million.

The rap mogul admitted that avoiding the fight was stupid but "He's not afraid of Pacquiao or any fighter." The rapper added, "I just think its more of him saying, 'Who do I have to fight?'. At this point, it's more so of him finding who is the perfect opponent then him finding the toughest fighter to fight. I think when you go in the history books, you are doing it a bit differently. This is more business and making the right financial decisions. How do you stretch out how many wins on your actual record?"

5o explained that the boxer only picks fights that would maximize his pockets, "[Mayweather] did duck the fight [with Pacquiao], that's $100 million and you just left it," 50 said. "I mean, for two reasons - I think he concentrates on how much someone else is getting paid as opposed to how much he's getting paid and then I think he kind of sees himself in a space that no one else sees himself in, like he's so high on top of it that he shouldn't give some of other great fighters a chance to be in that position at this point."

In 2012, the two had distanced themselves from one another after insults were thrown around via Twitter. 5o Cent later explained that the twitter beef was staged, but audience seem to think differently once 50 began business ventures with Pacquiao for a promotional boxing deal.
