Nice gesture on his part. Wish more of boxers would look out for one another. Seems at times no one else does.

Nice gesture on his part. Wish more of boxers would look out for one another. Seems at times no one else does.
This is a very nice gesture by Floyd Mayweather.
Here is Floyd in his natural habitat so to speak, on a date with Chili from the group TLC and its rather amusing:

As much as I dislike him for everything he does represent, the only thing you can say for such gesture is: Thanks Floyd, that is very kind and human for you to take care of such matters.
Boxing is such a cruel sport, but seeing boxers pay respect, honor and camaraderie to one another makes you think that after all, boxing makes fighters more human.
Props to Floyd.
i agree it is nice. but he aint the 1st boxer to help other boxer's or their families. still it is a nice gesture of altruism.
But the fact that he's not the first one doesn't downgrade the importance and kindness of the gesture.Quote:

if this is true , it is shocking!!!
i never would have thought of floyd as helping anyone.
a classy move if true.
This is the only boxing forum I go on for that very reason. Sites like ESB have turbo posters who don't think about what they are saying and just post shite.Quote:

The same usually, but I first read this the other night having googled Genaro's funeral. I got a read of ESB full of people saying it was a publicity stunt. Fuckin' clever one as it relied of Genaro's brother Rudy (who is a cutman) seeing a journalist at UFC 131 & telling him :rolleyes:Quote:

Thank god, this site is full of posters with a semblance of humanity.
Most of the un-objective one wouldn't care, they would probably see a plot where Mayweather paid the brother to tell that to a journalist or something similar. Objectivity is kind of a luxury nowaday on planet boxing.Quote:
