I think they could be a good team….Some of the guys in the “money making world” have regained some of their senses when it comes to the shootings….I think they are becoming educated behind the scenes as far as being the front man and staking ownership….I would hope 50 Cents does not do to Mayweather what Don King has done to the majority of black boxers….As far as money in the community, they will definately make money from the community but they are going to have to leave those white girls alone….Once they sleep with them they take the money from the community because they go and live in their worlds….

I think 50 will be a stablizing influence on Mayweather. What I like most about these young black men is the fact they aren’t throwing their money away. They’re going to die rich and will leave money to their families. They both came up on the streets so don’t expect them to act like those who were born and went to good schools and colleges. These young men are a testament to the black will to survive in a racist society looking to beat them down.
Change is slow and as they get older they will become smarter and wiser. They see what happened to Tupac and Tyson who was lied on by a black woman. They’ll be okay!

I’m not gonna brag about these brothas success until I see markets and malls owned by them and hiring managers who will inturn higher and teach the young folk to work and become successful. I can see Mr. Mayweather fussing about “It ain’t his job to do no sh** like dat.” No my man, it’s not your job. It would be a privilege. Mr. Mayweather is driven by success. Athletes long before him died broke because they failed to give back. His money and influence directed in the right direction could change the course of life for a many positive young (black) folk.

There are many good, positive and productive individuals who just need a little help. Even if he conjoined with other greats, he/they could make a difference. Even after he retired and became an old man he would have left his mark as a great humanitarian for his people. He flashes his money all the time boasting his success and wealth. There is a passage which states “A fool and his money will soon depart.” Well, if that’s to happen, he should do the right thing and leave a mark of excellence to remember instead of being another broke brother dying and owing the I.R.S.

Prayers for both of these super stars. I admire both of them for their attributes. It is now time for them and other stars to build up therir communities that made them. All stars should go back to their neighborhoods and start businesses,housing, theatres and Olympic style gyms.Your names would forever be illuminated and cherished as historic champions!!!!

Thank God — the brothers are tired of being the front man;while the man behind the stage man takes the money to the bank. I truly believe Fiddy and Maywheather surround themselves around other African Americans that are in the forefront of education, and those who are trying to help those who are trying to live a civil life under conditions that are similar to the upbringing of those who made it out of the toxic environment-from which they came. As long as we don’t forget that if you put a suit on a monkey- A monkey will still be a monkey.

So Kudos to are conscious sport and entertaining brothers; and we must take what they learned as friends and business partners-and apply it to our everyday survival regiment- of focusing on being a economic conscious community; and hold all who we support accountable for supporting our communities.
