He funded the building of the school.
Hes working to raising the level of education in the heavily Latino populated areas in Los Angeles. Hes also donated thousands of computers to schools in East Los Angeles.
He funded part of a hospital in research for cancer which his mother died from. This area of the hospital is named after his mom.

People here are obviously not fully informed and aware of what this dude does outside the ring.

I expect it will become common in the future for American boxers after winning a fight to give thanks to the Golden One without whom nothing would be possible.
People whenever you read one of Bilbos post all you have to do is click on his signature to play the video and you'll soon realize how serious you should take his comments.

Oscar is really involved with all of his little ethnic pet projects...people can bash him all they want...but there aint another boxer out there that does as much for his people as Oscar does.

Not one.
Well said
Tho I would say theres a few others who are involved with projects outside the ring....
