Mayweather on 105.1 trying to read

[MDPopescu]

Meh. He's a professional boxer. Not a big deal.



Not surprising that a professional boxer who has spent 90% of his life training in a gym isn't the best reader/scholar.



I bet most college kids nowadays who actually study and read books every day can't even read or comprehend what they're reading

Amazing... That's what I call "popular philosophy"...

(Do you have children?)

I bet you Derrick Rose reads better than this dude, and that's saying A LOT!

D-Rose is the man doe.

They give you a 'drop' sheet to read from while you are there. Never beforehand unless you cannot make it, and they'd like for you to record and send it yourself. Drops usually are asked for either before an interview, or after. Usually afterwards.

And keep in mind, this was not a live reading. This was a recorded reading, where you can **** up as many times as you like, til you get it right. Just like a music vocal recording session. You'd maybe have one person there recording it. The station had the entire recording and Charlamagne aired part of it.

I think Charlamagne will be in some trouble with his bosses over airing it because there are LOTS of celebrities that walk through there and record drops. And many of them don't speak drops well. Can you imagine what Beyonce's stuff sounds like? What about Jay-Z? And countless other celebs. So other celebs will freak out.

this is the saddest most pathetic floyd defense i have ever encountered in my entire time on this site.

congratulations.

you should be embarrassed. i hope to god you're a ****sexual because if you arent, you should go ahead and switch teams now after that post.

absolutely pathetic.

[-PBP-]

That was ****ed up. They didn't need to put him on blast like that.

There was no defense whatsoever.

I said it was a recorded reading, where you literally can **** up as many times as you like. It doesn't excuse the mistakes. It's just an explanation as to HOW the recording existed.

haha, so true.

I would feel bad for Floyd if he was 18 and couldn't read. I mean the guy had a crack head mother and POS father, but the guy is 37 now. Hiring a tutor for a couple hours a week would have solved that shit a long time ago.

Another thing is if other radio stations had archive audio of him reading other plugs that would be some sad shit.

They did Floyd dirty for a couple of laughs.

[radioraheem]

No man. He wasn't doing multiple takes. He was reading it piece by piece like toddlers do trying to assemble the words into a message.

Floyd by his own admission grew up in a house of drug addicts and just dedicated his entire life to boxing. It's not that hard to believe he never learned how to read.

He totally was doing multiple takes.

Did you not hearing him **** up and then start all over? This was a behind the scenes recording. It wasn't a live on-air reading. After Floyd got done, they would take the best of it and use it (edit it together). So Floyd could do as many takes as he liked. So that's why they had such a lengthy recording session of it.

He was totally reading it piece by piece, yes. But doing takes over and over and over again.

[Aztekkas]

those 3 get on my nerves. Charlamagne(?) or whatever his name is annoys the **** out of me.

However, that was sad and funny at the same time, I'm a horrible person. Well, all I know is Floyd may not be able to read too well but I'm sure he has gotten very good at counting.
