Ray Ramona once said something about his wife complaining about how she didn't like some of his jokes and he told her to go home and cry in a big bag of money.
I don't get into fighters personal lives and he is no angel in terms of domestic crap and everything else. I don't know if he is a good guy or a bad guy. But this whole illiteracy thing started by 50 is nothing but harmful. I don't want to talk about cultural stereotypes but Doug Fisher has a good article on other sites going into how this is not helping.
I know a lot of well educated men that forget to take a jacket when they go outdoors in the winter and couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel.
Ali couldn't read well if at all and he had a quicker mind than most.
This whole thing is kind of sad on 50 cents end and may end up backfiring. If I spelled any words wrong in this post please let 50 know.
50

Also spelt - Fifty

or sometimes - Fiddy
