Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Reading Won’t Define My Place in History

[ElMeroChingon]

Floyd Mayweather’s ongoing feud with 50 Cent has escalated to where the latter’s insults regarding the pound-for-pound champion’s literacy have garnered global headlines.

Mayweather, who defends his welterweight and junior middleweight belts in a Sept. 13 rematch with Argentina’s Marcos Maidana, addressed the issue of whether or not the allegations have been a distraction.

“My thing is this. I try to focus on Maidana,” Mayweather said in a Wednesday conference call. “I try to focus on that. People can believe whatever they want to believe. Intelligence and education are two different things.

fraud digging his own grave here.


i bet he doesn't even know how many years in a decade just like his idiot fans.

I agree with him.

Education is important in my life and will be for my infant daughter but doesnt mean it is for all. Later in life i doubt anyone will say "floyd was the best of this era but he couldnt read well so he really wasnt that good"

you agree with him?

what happens when he is no longer boxing and cant make money because he cant read? how is he gonna care for his children? al haymon allowances?

good job being a complete and utter moron like floyd.

i think this is proof he cant read, his comments allude to it. The video is BS cause thats the final cut of his teleprompt or whatever its called

The thing that Floyd and some of his fans don't understand is that this is a joke. We know he can read. Not very well, but no one literally believes dude can't read. It's a joke, the audio of him messing up went viral and we all had a good laugh. Just like we do when any other famous person does something ******, it comes with the territory. He doesn't need to address anything, by doing so just adds more fuel to the fire.

"If Pacquiao signed with Mayweather Promotions, then the fight could happen," Mayweather told media. "But if he's not signed to Mayweather Promotions, I'm not gonna fight (him)."

I'm surprised Boxing Scene never made an article on this quotable from Floyd yesterday.

Is this for real????

He should just keep his mouth shut on the subject and move on.

No reasonable fan much cares if a boxing legend is a rocket scientist as well.

I rarely criticize someone in terms of the things that I can do better than him especially if he has achieved a lot more than what I did in life. I mean I gotta be insulting myself, I can read better than him but look where he ended up, something like that. It could be use for fun or tease but in a more serious manner no. We can say all the hyprocrisy floyd has done and use it against him, but not this one. This holds little power over him, but yes it could be funny. Floyd has done a lot of BS but I believe he is a very competent individual, if he had his passion towards boxing transfer to anything else he would have been great also in that aspect. He is mentally strong, and has a strong sense of reality to himself, even if he had to eject some of the other truths away from his brain just to maintain his reality. I am not his total fan, but I understand his side of the story.
