Floyd Mayweather Responds To 50 Cent’s Reading Challenge

    After 50 Cent challenged Floyd Mayweather to read a page from a Harry Potter book for a $750,000 donation to a charity of the boxer’s choice, Mayweather responded in an off-the-cuff interaction with a fan filmed as a part of Showtime’s All Access pre-fight documentary series.

    While in Las Vegas leading up to his rematch against Marcos Maidana, Mayweather was asked about 50 Cent’s challenge as he walked through a casino.

    “Hey, I heard 50 Cent challenged you for 750 thousand,” a fan says in the video. “That’s all he challenged me?” Mayweather responds. “He gotta raise the stakes. Let him know. Do he still make music? I ain’t heard him in a while.”

    In a separate response posted to Twitter in August, the boxer showed off an image of two checks worth more than $70 million.

    Showtimes’ recent All Access special documents the lead-up to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana match scheduled for September 13. In May, Mayweather beat Maidana in twelve rounds by majority decision in a welterweight championship fight. Speaking about their rematch on All Access, Mayweather predicted another victory. “I’m gonna stay at the top and continue to control boxing,” he said. “When you’re speaking boxing, you’re speaking Mayweather.”

      1. Everyone knows G-Unit been running the summer. Even HHDX hating asses gave that EP a 4/5 star rating. Real NY street music, no gay ass pop features, no queer r&b hooks. just real niggas spitting real shit.

      2. He makes music but nothing that becomes a hit song or makes the charts or hits the club, even HHDX gave his albums horrible rating. Nobody wants to support his music without the Timberlake and Eminem singles that he is famous for.

    1. amen Floyd…this nigga going to get his old g-unit fam that he shitted on to try to make himself prevelant again. I hate them niggas feel like they need his weak ass. his music is garbage. it always has been in my humble opinion.

      1. His underlings co-dependent yes men who failed to stand on there own like respectable men who want their own label and their own brand. Game left and carved out a succesful carrer while the rest just fell off.

      2. Game hasn’t gone platinum since the unit. He’s a third string artist on YMCMB. Bet money his next project gets pushed back.

      3. Why are you G Unit people so obsessed with “Platinum” did 50 train you and brainwash you to believe that the measure of success is platinum? The last time 50 Cent was platinum was in 2007…here we are on the doorstep of 2015.

        The Documentary = Platinum
        Doctors Advocate = Platinum
        LAX = Gold
        R.E.D Album = 300K
        Jesus Piece = 300K

      1. No, Floyd lost. He couldn’t read a page out of a Cat In The Hat Book to shut 50 up once and for all and cost him 750 racks which would have gone to a charity of his choice. He’s dodging the fact that he can’t read and has people running his instagram and twitter.

      2. LOL, 50 always loses, he thinks boxing fans actually care about another mans reading skills
        instead of their abilities in the ring. LOL, put up 750 racks that you can find 150K fans to buy
        Animal Ambition.

      3. Floyd Mayweather thinks Hip-hips fans actually care about him or his near expiring boxing career LOL, so he brings up his money like any insecure man would.

    2. money money money is all he can talk about… but hes still ducking the fact that he cant read his kids a bed time story, help them with their homework or read their report cards. evan his kids read better than him.

      1. Floyd can read well enough to do all the things that you fantasize about him doing but he can provide the best of everything in life for his children unlike your parents who utterly failed with you and have to live with the embarrassment of you being a product of their tragic union.

      1. Nigga was like fuck promoting by Group album, Im bouts to wait on my ex boyfriend to respond to my cries for attention.

    3. I was watching Showtimes All Access special and it was a good one, they showed Floyd and Maidana in the gym, with their families and just having fun, its cool to see the human side of these gladiators.

      Floyd seemed happy, he was spending time with his kids and his ladies and traing hard, as he’s walking down the street some idiot paparazzi asked him about 50 Cents and Floyd gave a quick response and kept right on walking into the party. The 10 seconds of energy he expended into this foolishness should be enough to give 50 Cents an erection and sooty his broken heart.

      1. i remember when 50 took a photo with fat ross baby mama and his sons at floyd’s house, and what did fat ross do afterwards? fat nigga tryna lose some weights instead of figuring out how to go platinum…smh. what he tryna prove. fat ross still got those man tits hanging around foreal

      2. If 50 would have been making music instead of taking pictures with children he might still have a relevant career in Rap music and a record deal.

    4. 2 more fights and Floyd will retire, the question is were will he will be ranked all time.

      Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Henry Atmstrong, and Jack Johnson make up most people’s Top 5 with a sprinkle here and there of Marciano, and Duran depending who you ask but if Floyd goes undefeated and wins these last three fights with his swan song being a defeat of Pacquiao then you have to consider him at the very lest Top 10 all time.

      46 Wins 0 losses 26 KOs

      Champion in 5 divisions, 4 weight classes and 10 world titles and the current Pound for Pound #1 ranked fighter in the world.

      Even with a miracle win form Maidana you still looking at a loss at 37 compared to 29 when Ali lost to Foreman or Sugar Ray Rob losing to Lamotta at 40-0 so we witnessing history.

      1. I disagree with him being that high.He is on of the great fighters of this era however boxing is not strong as it used to be plus the weight classes are different and the promoters dont do business with each other stopping too many great matches.If Floyd had a problem with castillo, judah, Delahoya, maidana…..i sure do not see him beating Ray Robinson, henry armstrong, aaron pryor, duran, ray leonard, salvador sanchez, hearns, pernell whitaker, chavez,….not sure he would of beat prime delahoya or even tito,mosley ….Floyds best opponent prime was diego corrales…lol please cut it out…during boxing prime years he would not be a contender…these kids nowadays want to be mma or rappers…hardly 20% of the gyms even open anymore in the inner cities…notice how we rarely even win gold medals at olympics anymore in boxing….Mayweather is maybe as good as his dad and uncle…no more

      2. You said Floyd had a “problem” with a list of boxers but none of them knocked him down or beat him or even hurt him.

        No Floyd would not have beaten SRR at 145 we can agree on that along with Armstrong, Pryor would not have passed a drug test in this era, Duran would have frustrated himself and loss, Leonard would have been interesting, he would have beaten Sanchez, Hearns I can’t call it, him and Sweet Pea would have been a goodie at 145 but Floyd would have prevailed, Chavez would have lost.

        How can you say De La Hoya could have EVER beaten afloyd when you saw how foolish Pernell made De La Hoya look when Pernell was way past his prime and De La Hoya was at his peak?

        Floyd has beaten them all, never been knocked off his feet or seriously cut or lumped up, he is the greatest boxer of this era and easily better than Roger or Floyd Sr.

    5. Why Floyd go do that…now 50 going to ride this shit till the wheels fall off…we might even see a re-appearance of pimping curly.

    6. its the perfect retort. mayweathers still beating down and at top of his game. and no one has heard from 50 cent for 10 years. 50s a try hard gangsta

    7. That’s not really responding, more like he’s trying to find ways to curve the initial challenge! The question is not how relevant 50 is (don’t worry bout him, he got bread), but whether Mayweather can read…

    8. Lol, Floyd looks super wack he’s even more wack if he chopped Tiny lol, coward still won’t fight Manny, SMS boxing lookin weak too, especially after Gamboa’s last fight hopefully Kirkland still fighting on SMS, I think fif needs Floyd to help him in promotions for SMS and Floyd don’t need fif giving him additional negative publicity, these two better make up and do sum boxing business cause jay z bout to get into boxing promotions and neither one of them like jigga man

      1. Floyd tried to make the fight with Manny happen but Manny and BoB Arum didnt want it so now all the Floyd haters who despise the athletic arrogant Black athlete are spreading the lie that Floyd is dodging a guy who just got KOd and knocked unconscious in the boxing ring by a guy that Floyd already beat.

    9. “Do he still make music? I ain’t heard him in a while.” Well, have you boxed Manny Pacquiao in a while? Nah, didn’t think so.

      1. Manny been to busy losing to Black folks and getting knocked out by Mexicans but those 5 losses on Mannys record dont mean anything as long as people keep praying that Manny could beat a boxer better than all the people that beat Mannys ass already.

    10. Start working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.

      This is what I do.

    11. Both of them are getting some needed promotion off of this “beef”. We know 50 feeds off of it and I guarantee Floyd welcomes it with a uninteresting fight on the horizon.

      1. Floyd doeent need promotion his fights sell millions of Pay Per View buys and sell out arenas which is why he can get 40 million for one fight. 50 needs promotion since his albums keep flopping and none of his songs make the charts.

    12. But seriously, does he still make music? I haven’t heard a 50 Cent song since like 06, 07ish. I think the last time I saw him was on a bet movie where he had dreads.

      1. That’s because all you listen to is the gay shit on the radio that pop culture feeds you. 50 is the only East Coast rapper who has been consistently putting out dope NY Hip-Hop. He drops something every damn month. Pay attention nigga.

      2. That’s the most backward fucking bull shit I’ve heard in a LONG time. Typical Curtis fan. Dude’s washed up garbage, and you’re probably in your 40s working at a Dairy Queen. There are other rappers out there not named 50 Cent. Good one’s, in fact. One’s that are REAL. Most real hip hop fans hate 50 AND the garbage on the radio. Dumbass…

      3. who cares if you think hes washed up, everything g-unit has put out has been quality street music, no corny flavor of the month features, no weak ass r&b hooks, straight NY hip-hop shit.

    13. The music response is always a great one that people run with. Why does that matter so much to fans? You are the same broke muthafuckas at home speaking on who is platinum or not…shit is always funny to read. And speaking of reading, is Mayweather going to accept the challenge for his charity, or just use his World class defense to dodge this too?

      1. He’ll probably just laugh it off when they become friends again in a couple months, and everyone’s comments will still be sitting here forever for a temporary moment.

      2. “Floyd may be an arrogant ego maniac but he aint corny enough to start doing Minstrel shows with Curtis.”

        You have such a short memory… Seems like only a few years ago Floyd, 50 and Diddy were all hangin with Rozay’s kids and baby momma on that video goin at Ross.

      1. Floyd is a shallow little prick, but it’s just dumb to dispute his boxing brilliance. He took guys out of their prime. Canelo Alvarez was undefeated and at the top of his game when Floyd boxed circles around him.

      2. MMA is favored by white guys because Mexicans and Blacks took over boxing, the Hood still loves boxing just like the Burbs love monster trucks.

    14. Mayweather just shuckin’ and jivin’ in the public like he does in the ring. Won’t fight a top fighter, everyone wanting to see him fight Manny, dodges the top fights, got beef with 50, T.I and Nelly? more like he trying to stay relevant. He can’t read worth shit, he’s like Chris Rock’s joke about Stevie Wonder, He rich, but write out the monetary amount he has, he won’t know jack shit. when all his people leave him after his career is over, Bitch is gonna sign on the wrong contract and lose his shit, count on it.

    15. Maybe Floyd should challenge 50 to a ball pitching contest. I’m sure it would be funny watching both of them pitch a ball, and I am sure Floyd would beat him, considering 50 throws like a girl.

      1. Curtis ain’t the best actor but he’s got a pretty good resume and worked with most of Hollywood’s greats, Floyd couldn’t even read a script.

      2. Curtis was a born buffoon, I could see him on a slave plantation doing a performance for all the
        slave owners in the county.

      3. Bruthadee has such a wild imagination. If only he could have started a family of his own while he was still young.

    16. Floyd Mayweather is an illiterate, No skill other than fighting havin’ boo boo hip havin ass mutha phukka. Small dick havin, can’t read ass nikka. Bald head havin, rattled brain ass nikka. Small nuts 145 pound ass weak mutha fukka.

    17. Floyds people just challenged Curtis to a 750K contest, 50 has to have his name on a single in the Billboard Top 200 and he can win 750K for the charity of his choice.

      1. lol still trying to distract people from the fact that he cant read a page out of a book and earn 750 racks for charity.

      2. @Anonoymous-1 Floyd can read but he stammers, there is a video of him on WorldStar reading a TV telepromter for a commercial. People just enjoy labeleling Black people with the stereotype that they are illiterate and unintelligent.

      3. I’m sorry but there is alaways has to be one nigga to bring out the Race Card! In this case is UNDEFETAED, You nikka win the Donkey Of The Day!

      4. White people LOVE to see Black people tear each other down and humiliate each other which is why so many of them adore 50Cent and view him as a good boy, on the flip side they revile Lord Jamar.

        Any time a Black man is publicly attacked for his lack of intelligence or illiteracy it helps to promote the stereotype of the ignorant Black male and in this case the dumb Black athlete who has the physical ability to pick a ton of cotton but lacks the mental ability to read a childrens book.

        50Cent has built an empire off dissing, dogging and throwing dirt on Black people and while it has made him millions and the pet negro of white investors it has made him unpopular with his own peers to the degree that a career saving collab is highly unlikely.

      5. dont have to read the above comment to know that bruthadee guy is going on about white people and 50 cent AGAIN, what a joke.

        dat nigga is the biggest 50 cent groupie on HHDX if you think about it!

    18. Start working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.

      This is what I do.

    21. Five’0 need to stop hating on Floyd Money Weather point blank the man can read Five ‘0 is washed up in the rap game and he go after only those on the top of their game Five’0 is a Bum !

    22. “Floyd may be an arrogant ego maniac but he aint corny enough to start doing Minstrel shows with Curtis.”

      I cant see Floyd putting on wigs, making skits, and thirsting after another man through social media but Floyd will hype the shit out of a fight to sell them Pay Per Views and tickets.

      1. Shut up faggot. You look like a faggot with all that color shit. Come thru Roxbury and get your ass fucked up by real G’s

    23. Mayweather is the definition of boxing this days, this man has no more competition just guys to help him pad his ridiculous professional record. Thank God he lives in America were he can make it by on his physical talents, if this nigga was in Africa he would have been a street hoodlum that fights real well lol #TRU
