    @ you, sunny.
    Does that in any way suggest he should do it all by himself??

    If it does then you have interpreted wrongly, or I haven't been clear enough, or maybe you are being predantic, could be a combination of all three. It would take someone who has a status like Floyd, for something to be done. It would obviously need a big initial investment which only a few fighters could probably manage. It doesn't have to be former fighters either it was just a suggestion, but something tangible which was raising 7 figures a year would be a start. His charity raised like $5k last year, and his charity donated something like $10k in food for the homeless, he can do more. No one can argue that, not even someone as ignorant as you.

      Nobody is saying that Floyd shouldnt have done it. All we're saying is, dont turn it into a PR campaign by making it public via twitter. Pay a visit to the family, offer your financial assistance if needed, and send the man off the way he deserves to be. Dont push the kid out of the way of a moving car then walk around with a "hero" t-shirt though!

What difference would it make in who paid for it and who knew who paid for it?
        It makes a lot of difference to a lot of people. My opinion is that YOUR FRIEND should and probably would have the class to never mention it.

          How is it a pr campaign when he only made 1 count them 1 offer the family? I can see if later on he makes some more posts about offering to pay for the services. But 1 statement doesn't constitute a campaign and you know that

            Do you guys have any idea how disgusting this thread is right now if an actual family member of the Fraziers read this? You guys are arguing, talking, and focusing about FLOYD, when there's a legend that has passed away. This is seriously disgusting and disrespectful to the Frazier family.

                  With the bold you are 100% correct. To me it just doesn't matter to some it does. But to the people it makes a difference to they shouldn't comment that PBF making that offer was the lowest thing in the world that could be done. Now if the Frazier family accepted and PBF then said the funeral had to be done the way he wanted that would be ****ed up. Making it publicly known that you have offered is not ****ed up to me.

                    No what is disgusting is that the thread exists...it shouldn't even be on here, who's fault is that...hmmm let me think?

                    The fact that the title is focused on Floyd's involvement...also another point to consider genius.

                      Yes. 1 PUBLIC offer to the family via twitter in which he has over 1mil followers. Real discreet.
