well what have you done for the homeless, first off do you even have anything to offer the homeless??
And talking about he did that because of pac???
Pac should be doing it on mudlslide island day in and day out.
Thats a very poor place.
actually i give to charity. floyd does it for a publicity stunt. i wouldnt be suprised if he never gave 1 dollar to charity before he saw pac doing it.
Back to the ts. Floyd is just ignorant and he needs to get beat to experience some humility, after that he might become a better person.
to the flomos i have no problem you guys supporting the boxer but when u guys defend everything he does from racist comments beating women up, to burning money you guys are dikriding idiots.
check all the flomos defending that ****. it goes to show the type dickriding mentality you idiots have. what ever floyd does is fine with you because you guys are gay fuks.
you fools find anything to go on about. floyd gives plenty money and assistance to the needy. whats the difference in him burning a C-note or going to buy some clothes or shoes he may wear only a few times and never wear it again?
its his money, who cares what he does with it.
floyd only started doing that when he saw pac doing it. floyd is not that type of person you think he is. he is self obsessed.
Laughing at all of us who are struggling? You do know it's his money, right? If he chose to burn, gamble, spend, etc it then so be it. Who are you to tell him what to do with his money just cause it's a recession and you don't have the same means that he has? Should someone with less than you tell you to buy store brand cereal instead of Frosted Flakes, because that's like "laughing at all of us who are struggling"? Grow a pair and act like a man. Get your own and stay in your lane. Stop worrying about what another man does with what he's earned.
If he was the President of some South American or Arab country, and came out and did that the crowd would tear him up into tiny little shreds in seconds. It shows real contempt for his audience.
Wasn't Hernandez employed by Top Rank? Are you sure he didn't just feel bad for underpaying him?
This is the sort of mindless DREK I expect from most of the other posters on this pristine site, but not from you. Hernandez was a LONG TIME Top Rank fighter, and there was never a question that I ever heard that Arum was underpaying him. In fact, I have never seen any proof that Top Rank has ever underpaid ANYBODY...Do you have some? Well let's have it on this page.
And assuming (a HUGE and unwarranted assumption) it's true, it could never amount to the huge sum he's paid out for many years of cancer treatments and the cost of keeping a Champion's family in decent comfort. AND IN SECRET. If what you, and so many others think of Arum is true, with his conscience working (overtime it would have to be) then there must be hundreds of fighters to whom he is makng restitutive payments. He wouldn't just have a "conscience" about Gennaro Hernandez and still be cheating everyone else.
Arum happens to have a heart, as recently witnessed when he let Oscar and Golden Balls off the hook for that libel suit, or defamation as they called it, just because he was (supposedly) helpless in rehabiltation and repented and apologised. Notice how quickly Oscar recovered??Just because he is so prominent, in a business that attracts VERY low level ignoramuses and imbeciles like flies, and is a Jew, he collects all the Jew hatred going around.
And you can't say it isn't there. Kids are brought up with it. It HAS, once again, become a HUGE social problem, and is being likened to Europe just before WW2.
By the way. we have a 3 mill bet. I have acquired more points, if you want to increase it to say, 20 mill or more, that's OK . Just P.M. me.
Whats the difference between burning a 100 dollar bill and owning an ipod??? or whatever else someone has.
Worth is always in the eye of the beholder.
What you guys look at as a waste is actually an expense. Its obvious Floyd does this to stay relevant to the younger generation. Remember true wealth is only what you perceive it to be, why do I say that you ask??
The german citizens burned wheel barrels of money to keep warm, whats the difference? Oh its a 100.00 american dollars. Its nothing but paper and debt notes. Hence the more you have of it the more problems you have.
You see most people will never understand this because they look for money instead of looking for TIMERGY (TIME AND ENERGY) These are the most important assets one can own and dictate whether you are free or not.
You guys will go to work tomorrow as SLAVES BECAUSE YOU CHOOSE TO BE SLAVES INSTEAD OF CONQUERING YOUR OWN FEAR AND WORKING FOR YOURSELF.
Whats the point of living to make money and when you get older spending that same money to get your health back?? Only the poor feel like ortiz.
Now watch this. What if Floyd had bought a 100.00 dollars worth of birthday hats, would that make it better?? What if he passed out a hundred dollars worth of birthday hats at the club instead of burning a hundred dollar bill???
They are both worthless, what about buying fast food?? Would that make it somehow better?? It will kill you in the long run....
Again this is part of a publicity stunt and whether its burning 100.00 dollars are buying cheap cigars for everyone. It all ends up the same, 100.00 deleted.
Now if you take it how floyd uses it as promotion, you can then understand that he does this to get the young people to see his fights. It works and no one can argue it doesnt.
Do you guys think the god of Money is gonna come and make him poor because he burned a 100.00 dollar bill? Its his!!!
Dont hate, figure out how you can get to teh level where you can burn it and not worry about it.
HELL HIS WATCHES COST MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE HOMES.... YET YOU DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, HIS CHILDREN ARE TAKEN CARE OF AND ARE INSTANT MILLIONAIRES. BOB ARUM STILL OWES HIM MILLIONS, AND HE'S IS ABOUT TO MAKE MILLIONS SEPTEMBER 17TH 2011.
SO IN THAT ASPECT WHAT IS A HUNDRED DOLLARS? IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF A DOLLAR BILL TO YOU.
HE GAMBLES, PAC GAMBLES AS WELL, ISNT THAT THE SAME THING AS BURNING MONEY???
AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH THOUGH WE SEE FLOYD WINNING CRAZY AMOUNTS OFF HIS BETS IN VEGAS.
Well, I can say that you're well up there when it comes to assessing those who spout meaningless rubbish.
I could exchange a $100 bill for neccessities to live, a $100 hat wouldn't even make a good fire.
As for the German marks you mention, about that came about because of the enormous reparations Germany had to pay after WW1 as well as a completel collapse of their economy and MAINLY, that the Government began printing as much money as they needed even though they knew they had no solid economic basis for it. Yes, they eventually used wheelbarrows to bring enough Deutsche Marks to go shopping. I know this well.
After WW1 my Family Business, as a business decision, invested in 25,000 Pounds worth of German marks. They must have been crazy. We stil have the certficate as a collectors curio.
This is stupid. "oh he could have given it to me". Let the man do what he wants with his money. Sound like beggars...
That burned 100 dollar bill has turned out to be worth tons in advertising and publicity. In fact, every time someone talks about it, makes it worth that much more. Exponential.
I don't really think twice about it. It's just stupid.
Hate to say it but vic really isn't bright at all.. every time he talks it shows so clearly, and if you don't see this you probably aren't too smart yourself.
I didn't see anything in what he said which I could call "not too bright" . He was saying is how it is", and displayed commendable sincerity and empathy for others.
Those who gravitate to boxing as a way to make a living are generally not bright. Street smart maybe yes, but, otherwise no. But Ortiz, in this case showed himself a decent young man, in a situation where it wasn't neccessary to present his I.Q.
In fact, those who criticize him in this matter are showing their lack of brain matter.
As for Mayweather's behaviour, I, as you all know, am never at a loss for words, but in his case, I give up.
It's not that Ortiz is stupid. Quite the opposite, actually. I think he's pretty bright. Makes a lot of good points.
He just needs to stay far, FAR away from trash talk. He makes himself look like a fool with all his "Ever since I was 9 years old" bullshit.
And he comes off like he's trying WAY too hard. It makes him look and sound fake. But not really stupid.
And I don't give a damn what Mayweather does with his money. Or what he does in his sex life. Or anything else that he does outside the ring.
I'm on this forum because I'm a boxing fan. Not because I want to stalk Mayweather's everyday life.

If you like his quotations so much the least you should do is, for goodness sake, please spell Buddha, correctly. I asked you to before.
There's another poster who has a "supposed" quote by Robespierre, amost cwertainly false, with a similiar spelling error.
You guys use these quotes to show off your cultural atainments and only show your ignorance.
Lol have u really...
If he was "always helping out the community" in any REAL way (other than well pre-publicised press events) he would fund a Foundation with staff who would REALLY know how to help people, and raise money for it, not fritter his money away on rubbish and ostentatious Drek.
A turkey at Thanksgiving is .....what?? Helping out ??
He paid a few thousand dollars for Gennaro Hernandez' funeral (which gave him big PR) because .." I told him a few weeks ago I'd send him some money"......which he never sent. That was his given and published reason.
BUT.........It was discovered after he'd died, that BOB ARUM, the JEW,....whom you all love to revile, had been having him brought to his chemtheraphy treatments for YEARS.....and PAYING many thousands for each treatment.....and ALSO keeping his family. Mayweather was going to toss him "a few thousand" like tossing a dog a bone.........
We NEVER heard a word about Arum, in fact we never hear a word about about ANY of his charity, but the truth is that he is a world wide benefactor of many years standing..a philantropist in fact. And all done on the quiet, which the Torah says is the BEST degree of charity. It says there are several degrees, but quietly and anonymously without trying to gain publicity is the BEST. I found out only by accident.

I agree, we're in a recession and here you have some rich idiot basically laughing at all of us who are struggling by burning money in our face. I think that line about him possibly ending up broke was well delivered by Ortiz and it probably got under Floyd's skin.
On the flip side, it could have been a fake as it's been rumored Floyd does throw around fake money. And plus Floyd is always trying to help out the community and doing charitable things (be it for show or truly from his heart).
