By Stephen Caswell in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 22 October 2014
Conan O'Brien had a special treat for viewers of his talk show 'Conan', when he showed the "exclusive footage" from a boxing match between Justin Bieber and Floyd Mayweather. Spoiler alert: Bieber does not win.
Finally, after years of waiting, we can see what it might possibly look like of someone to professionally beat up Justin Bieber. Talk show host Conan O'Brien gave us this special treat - an "exclusive footage" of Justin Bieber learning (and failing) to box with undefeated five-division world champion, floyd mayweather.
The video shows Bieber taking a few lazy punches at Mayweather before the boxer takes a sudden swipe, knocking him out. After that, Mayweather punches Bieber by the ropes, punches Bieber in the middle of the ring, chases Bieber as he flees around the ring, and every time lands a knock-out punch. Finally, there are clips of Mayweather using Biebers face like a speed bag, breaking a chair over his back, wailing on him with a baseball bat (before and after Bieber loses consciousness), and finally emptying a rubbish bin over Bieber while he lies unconscious.

It seems that the brutal teasing of boxing champion floyd mayweather Jr and his reading ability is not about to stop after he was tormented live on air during an Power 105 radio show by host DJ Charlmagne Tha God on Friday 22 August. In this second attack on Mayweather’s literacy in a week, the first from rapper 50 Cent, the American DJ played a recording of Mayweather, 37, struggling to read a promo which was due to be played over the air.
The boxer appeared on the radio show last spring and the unedited audio clips were released a few days ago as he tried to read the same drop over and over without total success.

50 Cent Bets $750,000 Against Floyd Mayweather Reading A Page Of Harry Potter
By Victoria Pavlova in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 22 August 2014
50 Cent just changed the rules.
So 50 Cent was the latest to be tagged in the viral Ice Bucket challenge in aid of ALS disease. Instead of straight up wasting a bucket of ice water in the California drought, however, Fitty chose to get a little more creative. And being him, he also stirred up some old beef in the process. Basically, 50’s video is him challenging floyd mayweather.
50 Cent versus Floyd Mayweather: the beef continues.
If Mayweather can can read one full page of a Harry Potter book “out loud without starting and stopping or f---ing up.” Also, “f--- the bucket of ice” because Curtis Jackson bends to no rule.
