[quote=CFH;493197]Well read first. Yes I could care less if Money May was dead or in prison. He dose nothing to contribute to society. He takes up hundreds of millions that could do better in charities . I am not the stupid one you cant see through it and realize it for what it is and how insouciant and supercilious he is. Dose he have charities like Lebron James? If he dose he isn't proud of it. We had Lebron James out here on west Exchange street last Thanksgiving eve handing out 1000's of turkeys. The man has saved schools in Akron and other
places from being condemned. He has organizations all
over. He builds parks ,playgrounds, schools, he helps entire cities. Tell me or find me how many tens of millions Mayweather has given away. How he has improved high school grad percentages in Grand Rapids.
Find me that. If he carried him self more like Pavlik I would like him but I dont. He means nothing to me. I quit watching him after the Judah fight.
-39 ....sweet. Allot of greed in here huh.
I admire people like Patrick Tillman. He like me served over seas. Mayweather would give anything up for any one less than himself. You people cant see how egotistical and greedy he is you must all be blind.
[quote=southakron314;493494]Could you be any more sanctimonious or self-righteous in your last few posts? You have no idea what you would do with millions of dollars, so stop telling everyone how you would change the world with it. My guess it that you would probably give a very small percentage to charity and then ensure than you, your children, and their children were set for life, like almost everyone else does. The overwhelming majority of philantropists are people who are so rich it almost doesn't matter how much they give away.
Also, by virtue of the taxes he pays Mayweather has contributed more to society than you or anyone in your or my income brackets ever will. And you didn't say you could care less if he was dead or in prison, you said you didn't care if he got Duk Kim'd, which is a ridiculous statement, especially considering were Mancini is from.
And for fucksake stop going on about South Akron/Ohio like its the only impoverished part of North America or the world. Your plight and your position is no different than millions of other people, and its a better postition to be in than that of the vast majority of people in the world. The fact is, everyone living there is doing better than 98% of people who have ever existed. Ever. Half of the world lives on less than 2 dollars US a day, so shut the fuck up about how hard done by you all are, you live in America, by virtue of that alone you won the lottery when you were born.
I can't stand Mayweather and I don't know how I ended up defending him, but here are some links to information about Mayweather's charity work:
Money Mayweather Celebrity Weekend begins - Latest News - The Grand Rapids Press - MLive.com
Mayweather Jr. announces creation of charitable foundation - USATODAY.com
Greenbaum Marketing : News : Article
That's just the few links I managed to find after a quick search.
[quote=CFH;493549]I did say what I would do. I would give all of it away to friend and family and church. I would give it to the haven arrest and the salvation army and keep 40 years of my current salary. Just enough for me to live a normal middle class life. Lebron doesn't carry him self like Floyd. Lebron probably has alot more money than Floyd. He dosent act like it. I dont see him making rap video's with 50 cent. Who is the better role model. The biggest name in boxing ( Mayweather) Or the biggest name in the NBA(Lebron).Who would you want your child mimicking.
Boxing is my favorite but I would have to go with Lebron.
[quote=southakron314;494319]What you say you would do with the money is nothing but conjecture.
Floyd Mayweather has a job that involves getting repeatedly hit in the head, a job that, unless he becoming like Hopkins, he cannot continued to do for more than a few more years. It is also a job that is notorious for very negatively affecting the later years of those it spits out.
It makes perfect sense that he hangs on to as much money as he can and it also makes perfect sense that he would project a persona which would allow him to earn as much as possible during his relatively short career. If I was in his shoes, like I said before, I would worry a lot more about the well being, present and future, of my family as opposed to giving all my money to people and charitable entities who may or may not use it for the purposes I assume that they will.
As far as who I would want my child to emulate, if misfortune befell me and I had a child, I would hope that he would be smart enough to know that not everything he/she sees is real. If I had a child that admired the dedication and hardwork of someone like Floyd Mayweather. I would think that they would be very successful in whatever path they chose.
