There appears to be another plot twist in the ongoing buildup for the highly anticipated fight between Soulja Boy and Chris Brown. Earlier this month, Soulja Boy made it official when he announced that Floyd Mayweather will be training him for the upcoming fight. Well that was short lived, as it now appears he’s cutting ties with the undefeated champ for the five-time world heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield. According to reports, Big Soulja felt like Mayweather “was too busy with other interests” further adding, “there’s no hard feelings, just business.” In case you’re wondering what might happen when this fight goes down, check out this fan-made simulation Soulja Boy and Brown here and be sure to hear what he thinks of Chris Brown, Shia LeBeouf and Kanye West from our exclusive interview with the Atlanta artist.
