Mayweather fires back at 50 Cent over jibe



50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather fired back Wednesday at rap music star 50 Cent over his video taunt about the boxer's reading skills, as a title rematch against Marcos Maidana looms. Mayweather, 46-0 with 26 knockouts, meets Maidana, 35-4 with 31 knockouts, on September 13 to defend his World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association welterweight titles, and his WBC light middleweight crown, after taking a majority decision over the Argentine in May. But the 37-year-old American took more verbal jabs at 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, over an Instagram posting in which the rapper vows to donate $750,000 to charity if Mayweather can read one page of a Harry Potter novel without stumbling. "Making fun of a person because they can't read is not funny. It's tragic," Mayweather said. "If I couldn't read, it would make my accomplishments that much more impressive. "The circus is for clowns. My job is to focus on boxing. I could (not) care less." Mayweather posted a photo on Twitter of two huge recent paychecks with the message: "Read this $72,276,000.00. God bless."
