50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather

　　50美分与弗洛伊德·梅威瑟

　　50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather were friends for years before their beef began, seemingly out of nowhere. Mayweather allegedly stopped hanging out with 50, a member of the boxer’s “Money Team,” and the rapper responded by offering to donate $750,000 dollars to charity if boxer would read just one page of Harry Potter.

　　两人之前是多年的好朋友，而两人的争论也不知怎么突然间就发生了。Floyd很早就不在与这位“钱之队”的成员来往了(“钱之队”是梅威瑟的推广公司，后来50 Cent退出了该公司)，在2014年，50 Cent向Floyd挑战，说如果他能读完《哈利波特》小说中的任何一页，他就向Floyd指定的任何一所慈善机构捐款75万美元。

　　Harsher still, he said that if the boxer were unable to do that, he’d still donate the money if he read Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham instead. The two made up just before Mayweather’s May 2 fight against Manny Paquiao, with 50 Cent sharing his support on Instagram and betting money on his friend-turned-foe-turned-friend.

　　这对Floyd来说难度挺大，不久后50 Cent又说，如果Floyd完成不了的话，那么读苏斯博士写的《绿色鸡蛋与火腿》也行，我照样捐钱(50美分嘲讽梅威瑟文盲，不会读书)。5月2日在Floyd与曼尼·帕奎罗的拳击比赛中，50 Cent在Instagram上为他这位争执多年的好友下赌注，支持他获胜，两人在此前就已和解。
