One of the many reasons why Floyd is disliked by many

[Doctor_Tenma]

Can only speak for myself but there plenty of people, goodhearted people too...who don't attend funerals. Me, been to a few as a kid and regardless of how close I am to someone, I don't intend on visiting their funeral god forbid if they pass. Not a reason to knock someone Jab...

Great gesture by Floyd Mayweather, honoring one of the legends of boxing. Nothing wrong helping with the finances of the funeral. However, some people will never be happy with Floyd’s unquestionable generosity. He donated more to a local boxing federation than Pacman donated to victims of cyclones in the Philippines last year

I agree,,, There's really nothing wrong with Floyd doing that, its commendable if it were true... and a miracle if he can keep on doing it to other Americans... but none the less a good gesture.

It makes me someone that isn't shallow and that recognizes when a fighter (Mayweather) is being piled on by a bunch of children that don't understand the sport. And what's worse they think that liking Pacquiao makes them boxing fans, it doesn't, it makes them groupies.

What does understanding the sport (and I'll put my knowwledge up against anyone on thesse forums, for better or worse) have to do with someone's opinion on a person who just happens to be a fighter? And again, what does Pac have to do with any of this? I know I haven't mentioned him, nor have I ever been a fanboy or excessively talked about him. Seems someone is trying to twist the subject at hand bbecause the truth bothers them. Lol, who's the groupie?

Paying for Smokin' Joe's funeral = cool
Telling everyone you're gonna do it = tool

Im not knocking him for anythiing more than his callous and self serving statement he made. I hate funerals and avoid them at all costs. But I don't make public statements and instead try and tallk to the family privately as to respect their grief. What happened with Floyd is no different than someone crashing a bar after a funeral where mourners are drinking and reminicing, and ttelliing everyone how he and the deceased were like brother, best friends etc.., etc. It's not only rude, it's self serving. Would you conduct yourself in this manner...ever? The only differenece is Floyd is a public figure with a PR team. That doesn't make it any bbetter though..

I don’t know, maybe because it was a private funeral and only privilege few attended

Never heard of a private funeral with thousands in attendance.

Dude, you really are obtuse. What knowledge you may or may not have is mitigated by the pettiness of this thread. You are certainly entitled to your opinion as I am to mine, no problem there. My point was that making a thread about a magnanimous gesture by Floyd may indicate a certain degree of shallowness on your end, feel me?

I always mention Pac because more often than not he is the subtext and bottom line behind a lot of arguments on this site, even if it isn't immediately apparent. So I'll remove Pac's name but my point is still the same, this is a shallow thread; on a subject not many people care about except the "haters." They need anything to cling to if it affirms whatever negative ideas they may have about Floyd.

The subject doesn't bother me, on the contrary it's actually pretty amusing, because at any given time when I come on this site there's going to be idiotic threads about Floyd Mayweather. What these threads tell me is that some folks have entirely too much time on their hands. So no, it doesn't bother me, as most things don't on a forum filled with anonymous users.

No, but in most cases Floyd has never been politically correct in his approach outside the ring and I don't expect him to be, don't think anyone should...personally. Can't change your mind on this issue but if it helps, mean no offense, it's gonna be hard to share your disgust when you think Floyd would be as vile as to use Frazier's death to big up himself

Come on man, don't think your going overboard? I mean I've heard them all but that's extremely low...

Lol, how is it shallow? I don't know him and niether do you. It's an opinion only and it is based on other past actions of his. You're saying Im entitled to my opinion, but at the same time you're cchastising it by calling it petty. What exactly makes your opinion any better than mine? Do you somehow know me better than most know Floyd through his own actions and words? I sincerely doubt it.

And by the way, Im hardly annonymous on this website. Look hard enough and you can find my name, picture and phone number.
