According to TMZ on Monday, former world champion Floyd Mayweather will pay the bill for the funeral services of George Floyd. Floyd died as a result of a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on his neck for some nine minutes last week. The incident sparked widespread outrage with protests and rioting erupting in many cities. TMZ published an image of a check from Mayweather in the amount of $88,500 payable to the Fort Bend Memorial funeral home in Houston, Texas. The memo line states “George Floyd’s funeral services.”
FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS GIVING BACK AND WHAT A GENEROUS THING TO DO… FLOYD YOU ARE A TRUE CHAMPION AND I’M VERY VERY PROUD TO SAY I’M ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS
Wants it to be known
So what. If he doesn’t look out for his brother who will? Manny Pacquiao has camera and media showing him do thing all the time so what’s your point?
He paying for David Dorns funeral?
SO IT’S STILL 88,000 DOLLARS… IT SHOULD BE KNOWN… PRETTY DARN NICE OF HIM
He’s quite generous and does this stuff all the time. I totally understand why it’s being publicized. Black men have no allies because they’re allowed to be killed without consequences. When they died people turn their backs like they’re pieces of trash on the streets. This is just Floyd’s way of saying, “I got your back”.
Folks, let’s be honest. As long as multiple races exist in one culture, racism will always be present in one form or the other. There will always be one sour apple in the bushel that will spoil it for the rest of us whether you are Black, White, Asian, Latino, etc. In other words, there will always be someone who will stir trouble or abuse their authority just because they think they have an advantage in some form or fashion. Is this right? Nope, but it’s so sad. Yes, feel free to give me a thumbs down just because I have stated my neutral opinion. We are in the middle of a pandemic with a high death toll, poor economy, wars in Asia, people laid off from jobs, and now we have even more issues to deal with! What a mess!!!
No thumbs down from me Scoob. I believe racism will exist in one form or the other. It’s on each individual whether they want to continue with that garbage or be a better person and not think that way.
Good for Floyd. He also paid for Chicanito’s final expenses a few years back I believe and offered to pay for Joe Frazier’s.
Not the first time Floyd has done something like this. I do believe that these things he does are usually under the radar as he doesn’t use his generosity as a publicity generator. I think it shows Floyd does have quite a heart.
Good on Mayweather. But something doesn’t ad up with all of this George Floyd stuff People are starting to wake up. Do some research folks. This All could be a false flag…
The sign of a true champion and a great man both in and out of the ring… Much respect to you Floyd…
God Bless Floyd…
Much respect to a man who already earned it and doesn’t need to do this.
The Best Ever! We need Champions like this to keep the world going!
Mayweather is a true example of what you can achieve if you are dedicated and work hard. He is the American Dream, God Bless him and everything he has done for the sport of boxing. TBE!!
Floyd has a history of performing such a noble deed. Once again, I will give Floyd the benefit of the doubt in his performance of another noble deed.
The guy only does things like this when it benefits him in some way. Let’s not act like he’s some saint. Also what kind of funeral is it for 88,000 dollars? Is he being embalmed with gold?
The guy actually does something good and you still criticize him. He’s done a lot of good under the radar. He’s not a saint and most people aren’t either. He can be an asshole at times like most alpha males but a lot of his antics were to promote his fights. With all that being said he has a heart too. This incident with George Floyd hurts because it keeps happening and we want it to stop. Mayweather is black and if this is his way to show that he cares, great. Just leave him be.
I can’t claim to understand how a man born in squalor who goes on to become the wealthiest fighter of all time thinks but it’s good he’s paying for this funeral….whatever his motivations may be. Floyd is certainly a polarizing figure but a thing to consider is His choice of playing the villain has also greatly benefited other fighters. Many of his opponents have set themselves and their families up for life because of his skills and popularity.
Pays for a funeral of a black career criminal who died from a drug overdose, the manufactured spin that the controlled media and the corrupt politicians and the rioting, murdering, looting burning black and commy scum are using to try to destroy the USA!
Once the united states stops buying goods from china and we make all of our own goods here, we can open factories and give good jobs to poor black and white and spanish people. We need to close our borders and get the illegal immigrants out immediately to free up jobs for american citizens. Our country can become whole again.everybody will be walking around head held high and this nonsense will be a thing of the past.
Yup, I’d love to see American citizens go out at 120 degrees and pick grapes from the grape fields.
Where is it 120 degrees at maybe in death valley. Yes thats another myth americans want thise jobs at american wages. Thats why the democrats want the illegals here, to use as underpaid slaves. Where as the republicans want them out to give all americans high paying jobs and they should get the farm work too. God bless america. Democrats for big business republicans for poor working man.
Southern California. Come on down. Grape season starts in about a week. They’re hiring all the time because there aren’t enough people who want to do it. Pays minimum wage plus a few cents per 25lb box that is successfully packed. Zip code 92254.
YUP…
you can add New Mexico to that. 108+ THERE ARE FIELDS EVERYWHERE. If the immigrants dont pick the chile, onions, cabbage, etc… who is gonna do it?? Very few Americans are willing to do this cuz it is very hard work in extreme heat waves…I get it though, get the illegal ones out BUT most of the ones working fields come over on work Visas from Juarez, Palomas, etc…. The farm owners are very wealthy republican farmers jus as an FYI.
Yup, one more thing I’d like to chime in. Just so you know, out here the farmers control this area. It’s a small tight ring that will not allow any outsiders come in and try to make a living in agriculture. And those farmers all happen to be republicans who feel their employees do not deserve to be made more than minimum wage. You don’t have to believe me, but I e seen it and heard if come out of their mouths a few times in my lifetime.
Screw china and mexico time to take back our pride. God bless america.
Floyd Mayweather Jr is the greatest son of all time. He’s definitely doing something positive with his money to create positive change. George Floyd will die as a legend in American history.
What about David Dorn and all the other black on Black crime during riots?
How about the black on black murder rate or abortion rate?
Shawn, I’m sure he’ll pay for David Dorn’s. All the other stuff, why would that be on him?
George floyd broke into a pregnant womans house and stuck a gun to her stomach along with 5 other people. A home invasion of a pregnant woman with a gun. Good job floyd
it’s not quite what the brother of George wanted on the gofundme page, where he was asking for $1.5 million for funeral expenses but it should cover it and allow the ridiculous $12.6 million that has been raised to now be refunded.
I applaud Floyd for doing this. I have really come to appreciate him not only as a great fighter, but a great man. Floyd is part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Underneath it all, Mayweather has always been a good dude
Noble gesture from Floyd, you have my respect.
