Floyd Mayweather Paying All Funeral Cost Genaro Hernandez

Why would anyone be surprised at the reaction from the retarded, garbage "fans" on this site?

Alright then, point taken. It help the family come to grips paying for the service. That's why i specifically put it in my will i be thrown out to the ocean as fishfood when i die if my family can't afford paying for a service. That way i still have a purpose even when dead and not be used by any damned f@g for publicity.... how is he doing it for publicity when he didn't want know one to know he was doing it? he dose a lot of charity work he just dont brag about it.

Extremely classy move by Floyd, gotta give it up for him..

Dan Rafael Blog Mayweather quietly shows generous side June, 15, 2011 Jun 15 8:46 AM ET I've certainly been known to give Floyd Mayweather Jr. grief for his opponent selections in recent years, for his usual refusal to give a straight answer on many basic boxing-related questions, and I've certainly placed more blame on him than anyone else for the fight with Manny Pacquiao not happening yet. But I'm also one to give credit where credit is due, and Mayweather deserves credit. This isn't about him being a great fighter, which he is. This is about his softer, charitable side, which he does have -- even if he doesn't flaunt it. EnlargeMayweather AP Photo/Isaac BrekkenFloyd Mayweather Jr. is willing to play the villain role, but he proved he also has a softer side. On June 7, former two-time junior lightweight champion Genaro Hernandez died at age 45 after a three-year battle with cancer. He was a beloved figure in boxing circles, known for his humility, friendly nature and everyman attitude. Hernandez was the rare exception in boxing in that you can't find anyone to say a bad word about him. On Monday, Hernandez's family held his funeral in East Los Angeles, where people from his community and throughout boxing packed the church to honor the former champion, the husband, the son, the brother, the friend and the father of two. As a pro fighter, Hernandez made a good living, but he never raked in huge money. Never made a million-dollar purse. Not even close. When he retired in 1998, he had to continue working. He made ends meet doing television commentary, mostly for promoter Bob Arum's Top Rank cards. He also worked as a punch counter for CompuBox. It was Arum who, with no fanfare, covered most of the medical costs associated with Hernandez's cancer treatment. That was a classy move and his assistance, I am sure, was much appreciated. As much as Arum and Mayweather detest each other, it's clear they can agree on one thing -- a mutual admiration and respect for Hernandez. Arum paid the medical bills and Mayweather, also without fanfare, relieved the Hernandez family of another financial burden when he picked up the cost of Hernandez's funeral, simply out of the goodness of his heart. Mayweather knew Hernandez, but it's not like they were buddies. When Mayweather won his first world title at junior lightweight on Oct. 3, 1998, at the Las Vegas Hilton, he did it by stopping Hernandez in the eighth round. At the time, many thought Mayweather, in only his 18th pro fight, was biting off a bit more than he could chew by taking on such a respected champion at that early stage of his career. But Mayweather cruised. That dominant win against Hernandez was the start of Mayweather's run to world titles in five divisions. It was also the final fight, in the ring anyway, for Hernandez, who retired after the bout. Mayweather is often branded the bad guy, which is sometimes deserved given his long list of outside-the-ring legal problems. In fact, he currently faces a litany of charges in two criminal cases in Las Vegas. The man with the self-issued nickname of "Money" also loves to flaunt his wealth, which can rub people the wrong way, especially in these difficult economic times. With his brash talk, Mayweather revels in playing the villain role in his fights in order to help sell pay-per-view subscriptions, which he will undoubtedly do again in the coming weeks when the promotion for his Sept. 17 welterweight title fight against Victor Ortiz kicks off.

He can't be -- and shouldn't be -- judged strictly in black-and-white terms. When he heard about Hernandez's passing, he insisted on picking up the tab for the funeral, no questions asked about expenses. Whatever the Hernandez family needed, Mayweather would foot the bill. Mayweather seeks publicity for just about everything, but not for this act of kindness. When word began to circulate that Mayweather was paying the expenses, I checked with Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's longtime adviser, to see if that was true. Sure was. "Quietly, he took care of it," Ellerbe said. "As soon as he found out about it, he called and asked me to find out the details so he could help out." Ellerbe proceeded to get in touch with Rudy Hernandez, Genaro's brother, to tell him what Mayweather wanted to do. "There was about a minute of silence on the phone, but he was appreciative," Ellerbe said. "He told me what he thought it was going to cost, and I said Floyd was going to take care of it. Floyd likes to do things like that. That's just the type of person he is. He has done things like this over the last 10 years -- and I am not exaggerating -- at least 20 times. I've seen a fan write to him or contact him through our website needing something like that done and Floyd would do it out of kindness. I can recall at least 20 times that he's done that because I am the one who handled the details. "He doesn't like to take credit for those kinds of things, and he would probably get mad at me for saying these things, but it's the kind of heart he has." Mayweather has sponsored turkey giveaways on Thanksgiving. He threw his financial muscle behind the National Golden Gloves tournament a few years ago when it took place in his native Michigan and was facing a serious budget shortfall. He has been known to hand out money to down-on-their-luck folks in Las Vegas, where he has lived for many years. Paying for Hernandez's funeral came about because of the respect Mayweather had for him as a person and as a fighter, Ellerbe said. "They always had a mutual respect for one another over the years," Ellerbe said. "When they saw each other, they always embraced. A ton of respect." Ellerbe said Mayweather didn't attend the funeral because he just doesn't go to funerals, although he certainly was there in spirit, thanks to his generosity. "He likes to remember people just as they were," Ellerbe said. "Floyd was saddened by the loss. When he found out, he told me to stop what I was doing and to find out the details and get in contact with his family members to let them know he was going to take care of everything, no matter what it cost." The man called "Money" is using his to be an angel. ESPN finally did a story that's on the front page. Still don't see one on this site. Why is that I wonder? http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/blog/_/name/rafael_dan/id/6663485/mayweather-shows-generous-side-hernandez-family

Was that a Middle Eastern remark? Becuz if it was, it was a fail... Not Middle Easter *****... Kill urself PLEASE If not, there's a good chance God will do it when he sends another mudslide ur way (ooohhh... All of a sudden racism isn't so fun anymore)

Your name is PAKYO, and yet we're suppose to believe your speeking objectively right? KILL YOURSELF PLEASE What does my name signify to you with regards to my objetivity? Do you even know what that mean? Better yet why not wrap yourself with bombs, you people are good at it..

Dig my post then... What's true though is floyd's gay and you do keep wanking on him. If telling it as it is stupidity then i'm all for it. Floyd's a hypocrite and a fraud. True story. Flomos gets blinded on that fact as they only see floyd's dick and salivating on it. Your name is PAKYO, and yet we're suppose to believe your speeking objectively right? KILL YOURSELF PLEASE

Opportunistic move by Floyd! He knows it's a good publicity because he has a fight coming!! Last time he did something good was when He gives Food to Vegas Homeless during the Fight with JMM & making fund raising during the Mosley fight. Now check if he did something good during his Vacation? All we heard during his vacation were Criminal stuff. Beating his Ex & threatening his kids, Beating the security guard, Not paying his taxes, & Making false accusations on Pac. I believed him if He did something good during his lOng Vacations! But All he did was Party, Gamble, Sell his Soda, Beat up Women & the guards, & Spend his Money on Luxuries stuff! Only the Flomos will buy that kind of antics! For Floyd, it's just show time! Kill yourself PLEASE

^^^^^^^^ a denial rider :wank: Dig my post then... What's true though is floyd's gay and you do keep wanking on him. :rofl::rofl: you sir are on a different plane when it comes to stupidity. Well done. We are now all of us a dumber for having read this diatribe. If telling it as it is stupidity then i'm all for it. Floyd's a hypocrite and a fraud. True story. Flomos gets blinded on that fact as they only see floyd's dick and salivating on it.

What good does paying for a funeral do to the boxer Genaro? Will the deceased benefit and appreciate it tremendously? You flomos disgust me playing this up as if this do goody of floyd makes up for his shenanigans... :rofl::rofl: you sir are on a different plane when it comes to stupidity. Well done. We are now all of us a dumber for having read this diatribe.

...boxingscene...I'm waiting......

I don't care for Pac either, though i may sound like i'm almost riding his dick but the truth is, i just like seeing him fight. That's all there is to it.. ^^^^^^^^ a denial rider :wank:

You do know that Floyd helped GH financially even before his death don't you? Just the fact that he isn't boasting about this in front of the whole world suggests that he did this out of humility and compassion-not for a popularity boost. Sheesh,when Manny gives a boxer a few thousand dollars (in front of MANY cameras) to help put a deposit on a house,he is given all the credit in the world,but when Floyd has helped out a guy (behind the scenes) who was suffering,then we should bag him out? For all the misdeeds Floyd may have done,we can at least focus on the positive as well.Hell,Mike Tyson has done far worst than Floyd has ever done,yet even Tyson is regarded as a better figure than Floyd....the judgement of people these days is pathetic.... Well you should read what that poster said above leaking this out as it may not be true at all. I do agree with you though Tyson did far more stupid stuff than floyd. But mike is no news now so we'll just shat whoever is on the front page like pac or floyd..

Alright then, point taken. It help the family come to grips paying for the service. That's why i specifically put it in my will i be thrown out to the ocean as fishfood when i die if my family can't afford paying for a service. That way i still have a purpose even when dead and not be used by any damned f@g for publicity.... You do know that Floyd helped GH financially even before his death don't you?

Alright respect man. I know your a ride or die man for Pac, but when it comes down to real life **** hopefully we can leave the hate on the web. Im more mad at whoever let the sh.it leak that Mayweather is paying for the funeral costs when he might not be. I don't care for Pac either, though i may sound like i'm almost riding his dick but the truth is, i just like seeing him fight. That's all there is to it..

I could give a fu.ck how you try to justify it, I aint gonna pretend like im super close to the hernandez family but I been to their house a handful of times and met a couple of em through my cousin. There really cool people and paying for the funeral which I think is tomorrow would help a grip. Alright then, point taken. It help the family come to grips paying for the service. That's why i specifically put it in my will i be thrown out to the ocean as fishfood when i die if my family can't afford paying for a service.

still not on the front page ....wait...still not on the front page...

and you sir are a b!tch I'm just saying it's not worth playing it up...if you care for a brother, you don't only help when he is dead but to help him stay alive! It's damn hypocrisy! I seen lot of people saying good things, donating monies when a person died but never helped when that person was still alive and needed it the most.

What good does paying for a funeral do to the boxer Genaro? Will the deceased benefit and appreciate it tremendously? You flomos disgust me playing this up as if this do goody of floyd makes up for his shenanigans... :rofl::rofl::hail::hail:
