    It's a good idea that only bad people would argue against, which is why it won't happen

      Something needs to give. Obviously, the average boxing fan would give a little if they knew about it, but there needs to be a steady source for those that need it. Most boxers do not see multi-million dollar purses. So if health becomes a problem the money dries up fast even if they are good with it. This is a worthwhile suggestion.

        His sister is a noble soul nothing like her brother. This is the same guy that when he was champion used to have fighting pit bulls and according to one of his trainers used to throw stray cats and watch his pits tear them to pieces and would tape the mouths of Labrador’s and watch his pits rip them to shreds, he’s living his karma….

          I'm not one to criticize today's fighter with what do they do with their money, but there's no way in hell that i wouldn't be apart of this mans journey any way, shape or form. i'm writing a check to take the lead in a fundraiser for all former boxers that are affected healthwise from this violent sport

            To be fair I struggle to reconcile that part of his life...he was an IDIOT and deserves to suffer for his wrongdoing. Having said that, I'd much rather be ripped to shreds by a pit bull in minutes than live like McClellan for the past 30 years!
