Bob Arum Talks About the Time He Paid J-Prince $600,000 to Save Floyd Mayweather

Once upon a time, Houston rap legend/Rap-A-Lot Records CEO James Prince served as Floyd Mayweather’s manager. The two cut ties sometime around the end of 2003, but before they did, they were allegedly involved in an incident that ended with several of Floyd Mayweather’s associates getting assaulted with baseball bats by men who may or may not have been associated with Prince.





It also led to Arum paying Prince somewhere in the neighborhood of $600,000 on behalf of Mayweather.

Arum is a smart man, so he didn’t say too much about what allegedly happened between Mayweather and Prince on TV, especially with regards to Prince’s perceived role in it.




Arum told Dan LeBatard and Bomani Jones. “Floyd apparently had asked us not to do a fight in October but to do it in December after James Prince’s contract with him had run out.

But after JPrince sent them goons and busted heads open at the gym; Floyd came to my office the next day and he said, ‘Prince wants his money from the fight that’s coming up.’ I said, ‘Fine, if that’s what you want. I’ll write him a letter of credit.’ Floyd said, ‘Prince don’t do no letters of credit. You better send the cash.’ So I wrote a check
