Rapper 50 Cent trolls Floyd Mayweather after 'Money' fires referee in middle of John Gotti III rematch: "WWE Vibes"
Rapper 50 Cent recently mocked Floyd Mayweather's second exhibition boxing clash against John Gotti III. The 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' hitmaker posted a video on Instagram with a sarcastic jibe at a viral moment from the fight.
In the second frame of the fight, Mayweather threw a punch that the referee perceived as an illegal strike to the back of the head. The referee, Hector Afu, gave out a penalty for the punch, and Mayweather forced the official to leave the ring. Afu was replaced by another official and the incident became viral on social media.
50 Cent posted a video of a professional wrestling contest and mocked Mayweather with the caption:
"This is how Champ boxing matches look now, WWE vibes... He fired the referee during the fight. LOL"

The fallout between 50 Cent and Mayweather was a high-profile affair that witnessed several public spats and social media feuds. According to Mayweather, the root of their relationship turning sour was when Tommy Summers and the rapper launched the boxing promotion company TMT (The Money Team) while he was in jail in 2012. Meanwhile, the American rapper asserted that he was never paid half of the money for his role in establishing the company.

"The first couple of highlights I watched from like round one and three, Floyd was piecing him up, looking good as f*ck. Like pull two’s... It was pretty f*cking sick... Me vs Floyd? I would love that, that would be crazy. Just get him right at the end, put him out, and put him in."
