Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.‘s Money Team has come forward to deny claims the iconic fighter is considering putting up $10 million for jailed executive Marion “Suge” Knight.

According to reports, Floyd and Suge have a distanced relationship and there is no truth to the reports.

TMZ Sports just got off the phone with one of Floyd’s most trusted members of his TMT crew — who tells us Suge’s lawyer was just plain wrong when he told media outlets there was a plan in place for Floyd to fork over the money. We’re told Floyd and Suge were close in the past — but they haven’t been in contact in several years. Suge is currently locked up in L.A. on murder charges — and his attorney Matthew Fletcher reportedly said Knight was counting on Floyd to cover his bail. (TMZ)

Suge’s attorney Matthew Fletcher said Floyd would cover Knight following a victory in his fight against Manny Pacquiao this weekend.

“They’re good friends,” Fletcher said. “That’s one of his wealthiest friends.” Fletcher said he talked to Knight on Wednesday about the possibility of Mayweather pulling through with bail. “Suge said, ‘Man, I was really going to pull for him to win, but now I’m going to have to pray for him to win,’” Fletcher said.

After appearing in court Thursday (April 30), a judge did not approve Suge’s request to have his bail reduced.

His attorney asked the court to reduce Knight’s bail, now set at $10 million, but Los Angeles County Judge Ronald Coen denied the request. Knight faces one count of murder for the death of Terry Carter, one count of attempted murder in the case of Cle “Bone” Sloan, who was maimed in the incident, and one count of hit-and-run. Knight, 49, faces up to life in prison if convicted. (CNN)

Bad Boy CEO Diddy has publicly placed a $250,000 bet on the fight.
