Mad Dash: 50 Cent will bet $1.6M on Mayweather to beat Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent's friendship has been, at times, a bit tumultuous, but in a radio interview this week, the rapper says it's always water under the bridge. In fact, he's got so much love for Mayweather that he's already planning on betting $1.6 million on Money May to beat Manny Pacquiao in their much anticipated bout on May 2. It's an oddly specific bet, but one he's clearly thought a lot about. His reasoning behind the bold wager? He's seen how focused "the champ" is right now, and can't imagine him slipping when the big day comes. Our advice: If Mayweather wins, figure out where 50 Cent is partying afterward because you'll want to be around for those free drinks.

Heroes are often honored in somewhat predictable ways: streets are renamed, plaques are dedicated, and jerseys are retired. The Columbus Zoo went a different route when honoring the Ohio State football national championship by naming their newest penguin after Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott. The Humboldt penguin will go by "Zeke," and arrived in late Februrary. Zeke should make his public debut later this spring, just in time for Buckeyes' spring football.
