50 Cent Pounces as Floyd Mayweather Faces $6.65M Lawsuit and Multiple Financial Claims

In a culture that measures clout in headlines and bank statements, 50 Cent found an open target this week: Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s mounting legal and financial troubles. The G-Unit boss returned to his usual schtick of public ribbing just as new court papers put Mayweather under fresh pressure.

According to documents obtained by XXL on Thursday (June 18), a producer behind two planned Mayweather fights has sued the boxer in federal court, alleging he breached an exclusive agreement by arranging a bout with Mike Zambidis in Greece. The suit, reported by ESPN, says Mayweather was already tied to deals around proposed fights with Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao. The producer is seeking $6.65 million in damages — $4.65 million from Mayweather and another $2 million from his booking agent — and an emergency injunction aimed at stopping the Greece fight.

50 Cent wasted no time turning the headlines into fodder. Posting a screenshot of the lawsuit story to Instagram, he offered what read like a half-sincere handout.

“Champ I’m here if you need help,” he wrote. “I saw I missed your call I was in Shreveport working hit me.”

This was the second jab from 50 in as many days. Elsewhere in the week, he publicly called out his former friend after Mayweather was slapped with felony charges in Nevada tied to an alleged bad check.

The criminal case, filed earlier this week, accuses Mayweather of writing a $200,000 check in late 2024 to purchase a luxury watch despite not having sufficient funds. Prosecutors contend the boxing star knowingly issued the check; Mayweather’s camp has not issued a public response to the allegations.

Those criminal charges arrive against the backdrop of other civil claims and tax trouble. Mayweather is reportedly facing lawsuits across four states over unpaid bills for goods and services, and the IRS has placed a $7.2 million tax lien against him.
