    The Saudis just barely got into the boxing business a couple of years ago. It is NOT their duty to step in. Where are the proud Americans, millionaire boxers and promoters? They are the ones that need to step in.

      It can sometimes feel like a cold world, like Sonny once said "Nobody Cares" and unfortunately sometimes feels that way ,only family and sometimes not even that's a help

        Sad, where is Jake Paul now? Golden Boy? Bob Arum? Money Mayweather? Eddie Hearn? Don King? $5K is chump change to these multi-millionaires and I don't see any of their names on there. All I see is Lou Dibella, very generous, Harvey Dock, etc. Boxing is a dirty business full of crooks who take from fighters and aren't there to help when its all over. Sad reality.

          Boxing needs a union & a pension plan.

            I don't think Curry had a mean bone in his body. Always cordial and just an all around nice guy.

              I had Sugar Ray Leonard's AOL email address from long ago. I'll try to find it and reach out to him.

                I found Frankie Pryor's (Aaron's wife) email address but it would be stepping over a bit to have her reach out to Leonard.

                  Leonard was just before Curry's era but they were same division, both champions. I don't have an instagram account but if someone here does and can share the fund link with Leonard, maybe that could help: https://www.instagram.com/sugarrayleonard/?hl=en

                    Can someone reach out to Spence? They are from the same state, division, former champs. He also has an Instagram account.

                      That's crazy asking for handouts from people you hate
