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

Because he's a grown man and can say what he wants? And you right, there needs to be more done for retired boxers, but how you go put that all on him, like you suggested in your last post. And, please spare me with the nonsense.

And while you are at, show me where he was "bragging" about paying for Frazier's funeral (like you said in your last post). The man tweeted ONE TIME and you girls got your little thongs in a bunch.

Yes he can say what he wants...that doesnt make him right, which is my overall point. How would you feel if you lost your mother/father/bro/sis and a friend paid for the funeral..and then told everyone about it, would you feel undermined?

It shows a lack of class, you don't seem to be understanding my point so am not going to keep going in circles with you, I never suggested he should set up a fighters charity on his own, you made that assumption. You have what I call weak ass poster syndrome, where you only reply to certain points of a post rather than the post in context.

By the way who the hell are you decide who should or shouldn't post on here, I have been here a long time, before and most likely after you, if you don't like the posters, no one is putting a gun to your head

sunny makes a valid point.

Paying for someones funeral is a token of generosity.

To "Tweet" something like that is pretty low imo.

And that's not just because it's mayweather, that goes for anyone.

Because many in the past have made a meal out of doing something good or charitable..

If Floyd is paying for a funeral I want to know goddammit! As a fan it makes me feel good. Fuck the hater who gives a shit about how you feel.

Once again Floyd tries to pay/do as little as possible, and tries to get as much credit as possible.

[JoeKickAss]

Great gesture.

Completely ****** to bring up right now though. Nice job taking the attention away from Joe and putting it on yourself Floyd.

Really nice of Floyd to do that! Rest in peace Joe.

Really...read below. Those are YOUR own words. Losing your memory at such a young age? That sucks.

but spending thousands on a funeral, when you are a multi-millionaire is not something to brag about. He needs to set something up that slowly solves the bigger issue with retired boxers, or something similar. Relative to his wealth, he is not doing nearly enough, but it is a different conversation altogether.

@ you, sunny.

[Hayehammer]

Very nice from floyd! RIP joe

Look plenty of people obviously do this all the time, it is a good thing Floyd has done overall, but then he kind of ruins it by commenting. Most people are aware that the subject of funeral cost is not talked about, out of respect for everyone involved. That is just my opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree. To be honest the whole topic and this thread has got a bit out of control, but I was trying to defend my comments and opinion on the matter.

I would also like to reiterate that this is not a thread in commiseration of Joe Frazier's memory, and if people believe it is, then apologies if my comments offended anyone. I just don't agree with what Floyd did, and to say that I don't think he is very intelligent...would be an understatment.

I would actually tell my FRIEND "THANK YOU". I as man could careless who he told what he paid for. Wouldn't matter if I was rich or broke as a bag of glass I would be glad they paid for it as long as my family member's wishes were honored in how they wanted they services. What difference would it make in who paid for it and who knew who paid for it?
