Floyd Mayweather just tweeted he is paying for all of Smokin Joe's Funeral expenses..

Im sorry but atg Frazier dont accept fake 100 dollar bills from a criminal and a cheater. It doesnt seem like it leaves a great lasting impression for the Frazier family.

What a ****ing piece of **** you are, if anybody should have stepped up to pay for Joes services it should have been Manny Pacquiao and Freddy Roach as Mannys newer style and the knowledge he has picked up from Roach has been passed down from Futch who was Fraziers trainer.

Let me put it this way:
You wouldn't know about Arum and King, Ali, Foreman, Lewis,
Holyfield and yes, Pacquiao extending some financial help to
the Frazier family. They've probably already done so, but have
done it quietly, for the family's dignity.

Floyd did good, but maybe he can't help but squeeze publicity
out of everything he does. Maybe he's just the way he is, but
it cheapens any good he does

...and that's just the way it is.

I dont know maybe I was deluding myself, but I feel that as fans of the sport of boxing (not just of a boxer) that people could actually stop spewing venom for at least a little while and give respect to a pioneer of the sport. I guess I was wrong. I dont care if it was Kermit Cintron(who I hate as a fighter) who paid for the funeral I would give him nothing but respect for the gesture. Also I understand that a lot of you dont like floyd mayweather (hes a braggart and a hot head) but how does that equate to him not being a human being? He has been in the sport his entire life, he probably has favorite fighters just like the rest of us. I hope you know he isnt Lucifer right? To demonize a person this badly isnt rational especially when it shouldnt even matter at this point since its about the loss of a legend and not "Money Mayweather.' I guess this should be called MannyvsFloydscene.com since that obviously the only thing you guys care about.

Honestly I would prefer to hear him announce it and wake up some of these cheap ****s to help out

[DoomCity202]

Damn!

I missed all the hate.

People found a way to downplay that mans good deeds.

Always will.

All negative sentiments aside, this was a class act by Floyd, we need more fighters to step up and take care of each other cuz in the end these greedy sanctioning bodies/promoters aren’t.

You basically just made all that up on a hunch.

Nice.

Again, Floyd did good here.
Also again, you don't KNOW who has helped out already.

Joe was loved. LOVED, man.

There's no way his peers and fans wouldn't be offering more
than just emotional support at this time. Most would however
choose to do it quietly. Announcing it may spur others to do
their part, but perhaps someone announcing that has all the
expenses covered, can actually halt the inflow of financial
assistance, precisely because it's already "covered".

['Sugar' Freddi]

That's awesome. I don't know why people hatin' though. Give the man his props.

Hunches have become par for the course on this forum, or didn't
you notice, Reed?

What I was pointing out to him was that...
the absence of proof is not proof of absence.
He was assuming no one else had a mind to help out, just because
no one else had 'tweeted' about it.

Those persons extending financial assistance is exactly what I said:
probable. Arum's probably the worst bastard of the lot I named, but
he's quietly helped retired boxers in the past, how much more now
in Joe's case?
