    One day after Power 105 DJs revealed boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. struggled with reading, he tweeted an image of two eye-popping checks.

    “Read this $72,276,000.00. God bless,” the undefeated fighter wrote early Saturday.

    The tweet was in response to a humiliating recording played by DJ Charlamagne Tha God in which “Money” Mayweather stumbled through a promo meant to be used in between radio segments.

    “I’m Floyd Mayweather” was all the boxer could muster before getting tongue-twisted reading phrases like “movement to support hiring vets.”

    Trash talk about the champ’s reading skills had begun earlier in the week, when rapper 50 Cent parodied the viral ALS challenge, saying he’d donate $750,000 to a charity of Mayweather’s choice if the pugilist could read just one page of “Harry Potter.”
