50 Cent Offers Floyd Mayweather $750,000 to Read (1 Viewer)

Is this where we ridicule one of the best boxers of all time who is enormously wealthy a jerk because he reads poorly? I hope Floyd can persevere through this tremendous ordeal.

My thoughts and prayers are with him.
Fixed.

 
I guess 50 cent had to find someone else to beef with besides rappers. The last person he was beefing with was Rick Ross, who has been 10x more relevant in hip hop than 50 in the past 5 years. I gave 50 cents new album a listen and it was absolutely terrible.

Why is being illiterate off limits to make fun of him for?

1. He has the money and time to do something about it.

2. He is not handicapped.

3. He is a braggart.

4. He is a jerk.

This isn't some guy that had to drop out of school to support his family and then he works 70 hours a week for life to continue doing so. Not cool to make fun of people for things they can't control.

This is completely different. He should put the effort into learning to read instead of making huge bets and doing other stupid activities. Getting bent out of shape about this pretty much means you just go looking for excuses to be offended. It also means that you are a huge hypocrite. I find it impossible to believe that the people on this site that point out things like this go their whole life without making comments about something that is inappropriate.

Couldn't read the rest?
I suspect it's more of a reaction to you being spectacularly incorrect.

"As the elder Mayweather served his time his son – with speed and an uncanny ring sense – put all his energies into boxing, dropping out of high school. "I knew that I was going to have to try to take care of my mom and I made the decision that school wasn't that important at the time and I was going to have to box to earn a living", Mayweather says."

Oy. Read the rest of my sentence. Pretty sure mayweather isn't working 70 hours a week for the rest of his life to continue doing so. There is a reason sacbob cut my sentence short. He figured people like you wouldn't actually read my whole sentence up above and think what you thought.

Pretty sure he probably wasn't training 70 hrs a week back then either.

 
So this 50 guy is staking his claim as King of the Imbeciles. He found someone of lesser ability to mock, good for him. I wonder how long he had to look around to find somebody to whom he felt intellectually superior. I'm guessing it was a fairly exhaustive search.

I cut it short because it was ridiculous. This is a man that took a look at his options as a teenager and found that getting punched in the face for a living was his best one. Let that sink in for a bit.

I don't think 50 is an idiot.

Anyone who signs an endorsement deal giving them $5M and 5% of a company that would eventually for $4.1 billion is not an idiot.

My heart weeps for the poor woman beating #######. Nice effort painting him as some hero that was evaluating his future and decided that for the sake of his mom he had to go take a beating daily for her.

BS. The guy was groomed from birth to be a boxer. He came from a family of boxers and was encouraged daily to box. Clearly that became so hardwired into his system that hitting women just became the norm. At a young age with his natural ability and being a lighter weight, I highly doubt he really ever took much pounding as a teenager. With the almost constant encouragement he received to box, it was not an admirable choice.

Sorry, but making fun of him for not being able to read is absolutely fair game. If it bothers him at all (which I doubt it does since he would see no value in such a skill) he could fix it easily by paying somebody to tutor him instead of give him spongebaths. If he could perhaps stop hitting women, he could maybe save some money on legal fees and hire a teaching staff.

Let that sink in a bit.

He didn't start the company. It doesn't much brains to be sign a contract for $5 million.

It isn't the $5 million part that required the brains, it is not turning down the deal because it was only 5 million and ignoring the ownership percentage and his realizing that he could promote this into something big. Now did he make that call or did one of his business advisers? I can't tell you, but taking a piece of ownership was a stroke of brilliance.

Well, okay than. Only that part of your sentence was spectacularly incorrect. It was still amusing.

To be fair to Floyd, the guys he's paid to hit are smaller than the average woman:

Meanwhile, women today say that their "ideal weight" is 140 pounds. They weigh, on average, 156 pounds, according to the report.
