50 CENT OK'D FOR PROMOTER'S LICENSE-TAKES A SWING AT BOXING

50 Cent OK'd for promoter's license

LAS VEGAS (AP)

Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent is taking a swing at promoting boxing in Nevada.

Nevada Athletic Commission executive Keith Kizer said Monday the entertainer and businessman whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III won approval last week for a promoter's license.

The company is called SMS Promotions. It's handling a Dec. 8 bout at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas between Cuban-born, Miami-based boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa and an opponent yet to be named.

Messages left Monday with the company in New York City weren't returned.

Kizer says 50 Cent and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. had been talking about forming a promotions company called TMT Promotions. But the rapper told the commission those plans fell through, and the fledgling business was being absorbed by SMS Promotions.

mine as well the music is not selling nor does he make anything off it, he is basically just a businessman kind of like what he was "bitching" about when he had no deal, now he is that same person, pimping vitamin water and fights and of course his awful mixtapes.

He seems to be everywhere, nowadays. Saw him on a home shopping network not too long ago. I think he was promoting his headphones. I've never tried that vitamin water. Have you?
