It looks like 50 Cent’s new boxing promotions venture, TMT (The Money Team), has gotten a few people annoyed. Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya voiced his frustrations on twitter over 50 Cent encroaching on his territory. You see, Floyd Mayweather is currently being repped by Golden Boy Promotions, De La Hoya’s company, but many insiders are sating that he will soon make the move over to TMT.

50 Cent caught wind of the tweets and proceeded to berate De La Hoya on twitter tweeting, “Baby girl,@oscardelahoya,baby girl you here me,stop hating STOP IT RIGH NOW,” and  “@50cent is bout to be a movement in the #boxing game.”

De La Hoya responded with a supportive and almost hopeful response, “@50cent your a boxing promoter? good luck maybe we can work someday. #success #nextgeneration #GBB #TMT.”

To this, 50 Cent tried to clown his tweeting, “Great back pedal,can you swim backwards like that to girl?lol I except that as a apology.#GBB #TMT more success a head.”

 

50 Cent is one wild man! We will soon find out what Mayweather is going to do. He is set to be released from the Clark County Detention Center in L.A. on August 3rd.
