someone should set up a gofundme for israel vazquez who is about to lose his eye

I'd donate to a crowd fund type deal, like NATAS said, if it was proven legit, it's the respectful, honorable thing to do as a fight fan. If I was a pro, and that was my eye, and I didn't have millions, I would be genuinly grateful and moved if fight fans did it for me. Always put yourself in the other persons shoes/boxing boots.

To be fair there have been a couple threads on this already and I think you would have better responses if a) there was a go fund me already made and 2) if there is clear information that he actually needs help with money. The other issue, not that it makes his story any less sad, is that it appears his doctors had really ****ed up the procedures which has led to this. From what he said and from the information I gathered, there was no reason for him to lose his eye if not for some sketchy medical work, basically botched surgeries. With that said I would gladly contribute if he needs financial help. I've made numerous donations to Gerald McClellan and Magomed in the past. Wow. why would you donate to thst piece of **** he deserves everything. Divine justice

I'd donate . Take some our amateurs to spar at his gym in South Gate CA on occasion. Super nice guy .

Ask Floyd Mayweather, all will be paid in full. Oh wait..... He does only pay for the casket when a known fighter is dead!:kiss: hahaha With all the Floyd threads popping out lately, can't stay humble with this. Kidding aside, will wait for Golovs for the GFM and donate some savings for him.

I would contribute to the fund.

Vazquez is one of my favorite little guys. A true warrior. Sad to hear this news. I'd be happy to donate if such a fund was set up and was legit.

look how little responses this thread has. it's no wonder boxers don't give a fck about what the fans want these days. the fans don't give a care in the world when they aren't in the ring taking abuse for their entertainment anymore.

I'll set up the gofund me if ya'll want.. i think you should. you are by far one of the most influential posters here. i'm sure you can drum up some interest....

Great idea but I think he said the wbc is paying for it. Idk h you would get in touch with him though hmm i read in the espn article that the WBC help to pay for some of the 6 surgeries he had performed on the eye, but i'm not sure if they're going to pay for the actual removal procedure or the prosthetic and implant.
