Gerald McClellan to sell WBC belt to maintain home care.

how much are these belts even worth? A couple grand or so. However, if put up for bidding at a charity auction it might fetch a lot more.

For all the moron's on this site that complain about British ref's stopping fights - This is exactly why. did you even see any of the recent stoppages? check brook-jackiewicz for example. bs ref stoppage at it's finest.

Former WBC world middleweight champion Gerald McClellan is planning to sell his title belt so he does not have to move into a care home. McClellan was left severely brain damaged following his punishing title bout with Nigel Benn in 1995. The 44-year-old former champ receives round-the-clock care from his sister Lisa as he is blind, 80 per cent deaf and has difficulty speaking. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-2069020/Gerald-McClellan-sell-world-title-belts.html The boxing community should do something to help Gerald, I know it's happened before. I'm sure Don King wouldn't miss a couple of million. For all the moron's on this site that complain about British ref's stopping fights - This is exactly why.

DK need to sort that out.....when the ring punishment strikes a fighter like it did G-Man...fans say how bad and sad they feel...but the SAME fans will slam a fighter for having a cautious style or approach to how they work....fans slam fighters for not standing and trading blows even though the fighter is past his expiration date....Shane Mosley comes to mind....but there is many more....cats complain about extra drug testing but then wanna show compassion for fallen warriors...smh....it don't make sense!!! prayers go out to G-Man and his fam...hopefully somebody steps up and takes care of that small problem for the big man!!! yeah it's true boxing fans bay for blood, and none of us is innocent on that score, and then feel sorry when something like this happens, it's like Nigel Benn said: "You know what?" Benn says. "This is what you wanted to see. You got what you wanted to see." And that is the most chilling truth of all.

how much are these belts even worth?

Sad. That is what happens when you don't prepare properly and your heart carries you to many more rounds than your exhausted body should.

When Floyd reads this, he will sort it all out... :fing02:

that reminds me, itv are gonna show a documentary about him and nigel benn on monday night. (hopefully he'll get a few quid for that)

Don King doesn't give a shit about anybody. Bob Arum is the same type of person. Thats why Arum was covering all the medical bills for Genaro Hernandez when his insurance wouldn't cover it huh? This is another example of someone inserting their big foot into their big mouth

sad sad sad, tsk tsk, this is a reminder how dangerous boxing is and hope fans and posters here give them more respect ....

Don king was his promoter so he should step up and make sure that GMan is set for life.Don King doesn't give a shit about anybody. Bob Arum is the same type of person.

Just proves again how incredibly dangerous the sport is.

Don king was his promoter so he should step up and make sure that GMan is set for life.

The boxing community should do something to help Gerald, I know it's happened before. I'm sure Don King wouldn't miss a couple of million. I'm not even sure it would take millions. There are plenty of very wealthy men in boxing who could afford to help out. The likes of Arum, De La Hoya, King and many more could chip in, but they don't.

One of the saddest fight ive ever seen in my life

yeah but dk would never give them up like that imo. this is truly a sad thing to hear, i hope the mcclellan family is able to bounce back from these hard times
