50 cent “If you are a boxing fan, you should not dislike MMA”

The man known as “50 Cent” aka Curtis Jackson is one savvy business man. Having ownership stakes in Vitamin Water, multiple stints in Hollywood and releasing his Street Kings energy drink you can say Jackson has a sense of what has the ability to turn over a good profit.

It came as a surprise to many when it was announced that the hip hop artist would venture into the world of boxing as a promoter; though I am sure Jackson was well aware of what he was doing. Having dropped “The Money Team” moniker and separating himself from one time best friend Floyd Mayweather Jr., Jackson has since rebranded his promotion to SMS Promotions, following suit of branding principles to provide a synergy bridge his line of audio headphones.

Though Jackson is sticking to boxing, he is aware of the huge strides MMA has made in terms of promoting their events and fighters. Recently in Los Angeles, our man Marcos Villegas spoke to Jackson on what he wants to do with SMS Promotions as well as asking him what he thought about one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
