Move Over Nicki Minaj, Jay Z Cashing-In On Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao Fight

Music mogul Jay Z is reportedly heading to Las Vegas to throw a fancy post-fight party when arch rival boxers Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao face-off next month.

According to reports, Young Hov will host a pricey Sin City event on May 2 with V.I.P. tables going for $50,000 each.

It’s all going down at Marquee nightclub at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas — just down the way from where Manny and Floyd will be facing off on May 2nd. We spoke with party honchos who tell us they expect this to be the biggest after-party on the strip — despite fierce competition from stars like Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and 2 Chainz. (TMZ)

Check out how much rap star 50 Cent is betting on Manny’s fight next month…

According to recent reports, rap star 50 Cent may bet over $1.5 million for boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. to win against Manny in their May 2 bout.

50 Cent went on “The Breakfast Club” on New York’s Power 105.1 FM Tuesday morning to report the two are on speaking terms again after meeting by chance at a Chris Brown show earlier this month. Not only that, but 50 Cent boasted he plans to bet $1.6 million on Mayweather to beat Manny Pacquiao when the two are scheduled to fight on May 2 in Las Vegas. “Champ gonna smoke him,” 50 Cent said, referring to Mayweather, who holds both the WBC and WBA welterweight titles. 50 Cent then went on to describe Mayweather as “super focused,” and said, “It’s gonna look like [the fight] was pumped up for no reason.” (CBS Local)

Footage of Manny working on an entrance theme song recently bubbled online.

Mayweather announced the big fight after weeks of speculation earlier this year.

“I am glad my decision to meet with Manny and discuss making this fight happen helped get the deal done. Giving the fans what they want to see is always my main focus. This will be the biggest event in the history of the sport. Boxing fans and sports fans around the world will witness greatness on May 2. I am the best ever, TBE, and this fight will be another opportunity to showcase my skills and do what I do best, which is win. Manny is going to try to do what 47 before him failed to do, but he won’t be successful. He will be number 48.” (“Shots”)
