It appears that upstart boxing promoter Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is now involving his own fighters in his feud with undefeated pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather. In his latest rant on Twitter, Jackson is now saying that undefeated former super featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa is eager to step into the ring with Mayweather. "GAMBOA WANTS TO FIGHT FLOYD. I will put up a extra 20 million for the winner. He don't like it that Floyd pulled out," Jackson would post less than 30 minutes ago.
Nevermind the fact that Gamboa has not had an actual fight since September of 2011, when he defeated Daniel Ponce De Leon via technical decision. It's a fight that Jackson believes the 130-pound Gamboa is ready to take as soon as possible. "Ellerbee you a broke bum GAMBOA want to fight tell him to Floyd lace up. Lol," Jackson added. "GAMBOA is the truth, FLOYD no that, stop tricking and Fight. If you say Floyd a kill GAMBOA tell him fight. GAMBOA MOVING UP IN WEIGHT FLOYD. You should have know not to go against me PUNK. I can't hang out with Floyd no more,I'm tired of running from manny pacquiao."
