The world has long debated whether Floyd Mayweather can read. He has said he is not a great reader, but it has been suggested that he is by 50 Cent and a New York radio station.
The boxer once claimed to be untouchable in the square circle, but he has been unable to keep up with his critics, claiming that he could not read a check in a radio interview.
The controversy surrounding this announcement is far from over, however.

While Floyd has never explicitly admitted to having dyslexia, he certainly hasn’t spent much time on reading as a child.
After all, he chose to concentrate on boxing. And, of course, now that he is a multi-millionaire, he’d have plenty of money to hire the best reading tutor.
It’s no surprise that the boxing superstar and rap star 50 Cent are feuding. While the two once were friends, their friendship was strained due to their mutual love of money.
They’ve had an ongoing feud for years, and 50 Cent has recently mocked Mayweather’s ability to read on social media.
