But things took a turn in 2012, when there was a rift over business issues among the two. Tommy Summers asked 50 Cent to enter the boxing business under the undefeated boxer’s brand – The Money Team (TMT). Summers and 50 Cent wanted to vanquish Mayweather’s long time promoter and friend, Al Haymon, from the company to take full charge of the operations.
