Former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight could soon be out of custody, but it all depends on if his good friend Floyd Mayweather Jr. is victorious Saturday in his history-making match against Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.
Matthew Fletcher, Knight’s attorney, said that if Mayweather wins the bout, he expects the boxer to cover his client’s $10-million bail.
“They’re good friends,” Fletcher said. “That’s one of his wealthiest friends.”
A lawyer from Mayweather’s camp reached out to Fletcher several weeks ago and asked about the specifics of bailing Knight out, the attorney said.
Fletcher said he talked to Knight on Wednesday about the possibility of Mayweather pulling through with bail.
“Suge said, ‘Man, I was really going to pull for him to win, but now I’m going to have to pray for him to win,’” Fletcher said.
Mayweather’s camp couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
Knight pleaded not guilty Thursday to murder and attempted murder for allegedly plowing his truck into two men at a Compton restaurant earlier this year.
Knight’s bail remains at $10 million, even though his attorney requested it be reduced by half. A jury trial was set for July 7.
The quick hearing was different than Knight’s previous court appearances. He didn’t collapse in court, express the need to vomit or complain of pain.
