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.
    I have never said it was low...just that it showed a lack of class. That is all. Maybe it is me, if I paid for something like that I would never mention it to anyone, like I have previously stated a funeral is a personal thing.and he has how many followers on twitter? I just think it was unecessary.

      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.
      Uh..yea..considering YOUR direct quote, sunny. Just stop dude, you owned yourself already. And you call someone else ignorant and you didn't even know what you said?

      Go head on, dude.

          Had this been Manny these little girls would have been jumping for joy and falling down and worshipping him. But how many of the Manny stans even know who Smokin' Joe was?

            I am fine with all those who share that opinion but I don't think people should be trying to **** on PBF because he made a grand total of ONE comment about offering to pay.

            To be honest I wouldn't tell people if I offered or paid but I am not going to try and **** on somebody because they told some people they are offering to pay either.

                  I never suggested he should set up a fighters charity on his own, you made that assumption.

                      Great gesture from Mayweather, extending a hand to a fallen warrior & his family.

                      I guess this is just another example of him being an attention grabbing whore to some, as they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
