Based on what I've seen in the off-media, I don't know that Mr. Mayweather understands much outside of boxing; I fear this article would fall on blind eyes if he would even read it.

Then again, thats partly the purpose of the SEC, right? To protect people from ignorance?

Floyd Mayweather understands "money" and understands how to acquire or increase it by "social proofing".

His stunt is so successful that, even on HN ,people will be like what is stox ico and look for it.

According to Connor McGregor, Mr. Mayweather "can't even read" so your fear is definitely valid.

That's not McGregor's line.

That started a while back from Mayweathers feud with 50Cent in response to a radio program where Mayweather struggled to read the promos aloud.

50 Cent is another guy who himself has made lots of money [0], and been technically bankrupt [1], but somehow did fine [2].
