Former heavyweight champ Riddick Bowe appears to have fallen on hard times, or perhaps he has an odd sense of humor. On Tuesday morning, Bowe sent out this strange tweet:
I will tweet anything to anyone just paypal me $20 bowe@riddickbowe.com. Thats whats up. Bowe

Bowe has quite the following on Twitter (451k, to be exact). A number of them thought he was kidding, but some of them took him up on his offer.
Like men hitting on women:
Yo @rachelwk – you as sweet as a Golota low blow is sour – love, JP. Thats whats up. Bowe

And upcoming artists pushing their brand:
Let's help @Lindsey_Luff fund her debut album on @Kickstarter! Girl's got a voice and a story to tell! http://t.co/nTSEaCuYp4. Bowe

And people just being idiots with their friends:
IM about to put the gloves on @themangenius : LeVan and I are going to beat you till you cry like a baby. Thats whats up. Bowe

This is brilliant, by the way. Bowe provides you with thousands of viewers, and you give him $20. Simple and straightforward. Riddick Bowe is an entrepreneur, y’all!
