Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy has handed Floyd Mayweather Jr. his walking papers. The hip-hop artist has reportedly ditched the Money Team boss and linked up with fellow boxing icon Evander Holyfield to help train for an upcoming Chris Brown bout.

According to reports, hip-hop manager Wack 100 helped connect Holyfield with Soulja once Mayweather turned into an afterthought.

He says Soulja pitched himself to Evander … convincing him he’s serious about the boxing match with Chris. We’re told Soulja did a lot of talking about “knocking out” Chris, but Evander gave him a quick tip: train harder, talk less. He also assured the skinny singer he can get him into true knockout form. Of course, the nemesis of Evander’s ears — Mike Tyson — is training Chris, but we’re told his name didn’t come up during the initial convo. As for why Floyd is out … Soulja felt like he was too busy with other interests. We’re told there’s no hard feelings, just business. (TMZ)

Earlier this month, Soulja Boy hinted at Chris Brown possibly wanting to ditch their bout.

The same week, hip-hop manager Wack 100 said fans could expect the fight to still go down.
