Mayweather and McGregor get into it over the Irish flag at their second press conference.

As a result of a 50 Cent challenge that took place during that era when people were dumping buckets of ice on their heads, and also due to a very poorly read Breakfast Club promo, many, many, many people have questions regarding just how well Floyd Mayweather can read. It's actually one of the things that Conor McGregor has been bringing up in these press conferences where he's just been working the hell out of the crowd (the third one's today, if you care):

In what was not necessarily a response to that, here's Mayweather addressing the ever present question of his literacy in-between promos he was delivering for the August 26 bout. It's not clear if this promo was taped after any of McGregor's direct insults, but according to BSO (who filmed the video) it shows Mayweather mocking those who blatantly suggest he can't read. Anyway, watch it and see for yourself (seriously, give it a play and decide if you'd want another take):
