Really happy to hear that...
I don't want to sound negative here as you guys know that's just not me ( ) but imo most of these guys owe something back to their communites anyways.

All this Oscar nut hugging....man his fans put him where he was. He's been blessed with the most loyal and devoted following who have supported him to the extent that he is the highest paid boxer ever outside the heavyweight division.

Personally I'd be pissed as hell if he wasn't giving something back.

So he gave $1,000,000 to open a hospital. Thats about £500,000. No offense but big F****** deal.

He made over $50,000,000 for his fight with Floyd alone. Despite Floyd being the boxing star, undefeated and p4p number 1 in the sport, Oscar's devoted fan following enabled him to get a $25,000,000 purse for the fight compared to Floyd's $10,000 AND he got 70% of the PPV! Factor in merchandising, sponsership and endorsments and he made enough money to buy some of these poorer nations outright.

$500,000, that's a day out to Oscar.
athletes like Evander Holyfield and Michael Jordan who are just as rich as Oscar are known for their penny-pinching attitude when it comes to doing charity work. Someone like Jordan made more money of his image and being a role model for many kids with endorsements than actually playing ball but no one ever knocks on him for not doing anything for the community while a bulk of Oscar's fortune was made in the squared circle. Oscar doesn't owe anyone a damn thing and therefore he should be appreciated for his efforts such as building this school
