In the buildup to their highly anticipated showdown on April 20th at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York, Ryan Garcia has stirred up controversy by accusing his opponent, Devin Haney, of a surprising similarity to a past feud between rapper 50 Cent and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
Garcia, known for his outspoken nature, took to social media to share a promotional clip featuring Haney, urging fans to watch the fight at the nearest Dave and Buster’s. However, Garcia alleged that Haney struggled to read the lines from the teleprompter, drawing a comparison to an incident involving Mayweather and 50 Cent back in 2012.
In a promotional clip shared by Garcia on X, Haney appeared to struggle with reading lines from a teleprompter, reminiscent of an incident involving Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent back in 2012. The rapper, 50 Cent, famously accused Mayweather of being unable to read and even challenged him to a $750,000 bet to prove his literacy.

In an Instagram post, ‘Fiddy’ wrote, “I have no beef with anyone, I even made sure the audiobook comes out at the same time so champ won’t feel left out,”
The accusation from Garcia has injected an additional layer of tension and drama into an already highly anticipated bout between the two fighters. With Haney’s WBC super lightweight title on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both competitors.
Garcia’s comparison to the Mayweather-50 Cent incident has caught the attention of boxing fans and pundits alike, sparking debates and discussions across social media platforms. The controversy surrounding Haney’s alleged reading difficulty has added fuel to the fire of an already intense rivalry between the two fighters.
The feud between Mayweather and 50 Cent reached a peak when the rapper challenged Mayweather to read a Harry Potter book aloud on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, offering to donate $750,000 to charity if Mayweather accepted. Despite Mayweather’s refusal, the exchange sparked a series of humorous jabs from 50 Cent, including suggestions for alternative books for Mayweather to read.
Fast forward to the present, and 50 Cent continues to playfully tease Mayweather, even incorporating their rivalry into the promotion of his recent novel release. With this backdrop, Garcia’s accusation against Haney takes on a new dimension, echoing the rapper’s past antics in the world of boxing.
