Floyd Mayweather Jr. hits back at illiteracy trash talk
He’s a fighter, not a reader.
Power 105 disc jockey Charlamagne Tha God played a humiliating recording on the air Friday morning of boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. struggling to read text the rank plotted to use in later broadcasts.
The feisty fighter with a 46-0 record sounds as if he’s met his match trying to read the “drop,” used in between on-air segments.
“I’m Floyd Mayweather,” he says, before stumbling through the rest of the promo that’s supposed to be about 10 seconds.
The other DJs on Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” acted as if they were reluctant to embarrass Mayweather in such harsh fashion.
Eric Jamison/AP Tongue twister: Mayweather struggled for over one minute to read the excerpt supposed to last about 10 seconds. “Shut the hell up! I don’t give a damn!” said Charlamagne, ignoring his fellow DJs concern.
Twitter immediately exploded with mockery of Mayweather.
The uppercut of audio was prompted by rapper 50 Cent’s harsh mockery of Mayweather Thursday on Instagram.
Jordan Strauss/Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Power 105 DJs and rapper 50 Cent have both called out fighter Floyd Mayweather as a poor reader. 50 Cent lampooned the viral ALS challenge, saying he’d donate $ 750,000 to a charity of Mayweather’s choice if he could read just one page of “Aggravate Potter.”
“F— the bucket of ice!” 50 Cent said.
50 followed up that video with a second, claiming that Jimmy Kimmel pledged to broadcast Mayweather reading out loud, and that the challenge would be a little simpler.
Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images Power 105’s Charlamagne Tha God gleefully humiliated the boxing champ. “We don’t want to put pressure on you. We know you can’t pronounce those terms in that ‘Aggravate Potter’ book, so we’re going to let you read ‘Cat in the Hat,’” he said.
Mayweather, a copious tweeter, has been noticeably silent since the trash talk started.
