    Floyd Mayweather Pays Medical Bills For Baby With Heart Defect

    Floyd Mayweather's charitable blitz continues. And it's a good bet little Austin York of Gardnerville, Nevada, an 11 month old baby who was born with a severe heart defect, and his family, are mighty glad the skilled boxer has been for the last few months very active in the giving arena.

    Mayweather Promotions' David Levi alerted us to the good deed Mayweather did. I give him the floor for a spell.


    I am Floyd's assistant. I left Floyd's training camp early to attend a Fight Night charity fundraiser put on by a University of Nevada, Las Vegas organization on March 15, 2012. I was coaching one of the fighters in the main event and was told the event was to raise money for a child's medical bills. The organization informed me that Austin York whom is under a year old has a rare heart abnormality and had a massive hospital bill from major surgeries he had underwent to save his life. I spoke with Floyd on the phone and told him about the child and everything he and his family had been dealing with. He responded: "Let them know I will take care of all the medical bills. I want to help him." The total of the medical bills that have piled up over the 10 months of Austin's life add up to a little more than $49,000.

    Levi tells us that both the ventricles of little Austin's heart didn't function when he was born, on May 23, 2011. He had surgery in the first week of his life, and then another six months later. He had another surgery, to total three, not long after that.

    Quite a bit of fighting that little guy has had to do. I can only imagine the worry his family has to deal with. Compound that with the panic that can come with crushing medical bills, well, you can bet that the York family, including parents Scott York and Meghan Adams, will be rooting hard for Floyd on May 5, when he meets Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.

    Yeah, that's a big fight, but can we all agree not nearly as big as the fight Austin York and family have been in this last year?



    What a Fan-****ing-Tastic human being Floyd is.

    Whats Pacquiao doing now besides committing tax evasions and housing criminals in his home with his children.

    Mayweather to pay medical bills for ailing infant

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is paying the nearly $50,000 hospital bill for a 11-month-old, Austin York, of Gardnerville, Nevada, who born with a rare heart abnormality, according to the fighter's assistant, David Levi, or Mayweather Promotions.

    "I went to go to work this charity event, and I found out that they were raising money for someone in the organization's nephew, who lived somwhere in Nevada," said Levi of the Fight Night charity fundraiser that was organized by UNLV on March 15. "The child had had a heart abnormality and the family had racked up a huge bill at the hospital."

    Levi said that the total cost of York's medical bills will add up to "a little more than $49,000.

    "The family was unable to afford paying for the three major surgies that Austin had had since he was born, on May 23, 2011," said Levi.

    "When I spoke with Floyd, he tried to swing by the event, and he asked me what the charity was for. I told him, and he said, 'just let them know that I'll take care of all of the medical bills.'"

    When former former two-time junior lightweight champion, Genaro Hernandez, died on June 7 of last year at the age of 45 following a three-year battle with cancer, Mayweather paid for his funeral in East Los Angeles.

    Mayweather (42-0, 26 knockouts) dethroned Hernandez (38-2-1, 17 KOs) as WBC junior lightweight beltholder by eighth-round knockout in October of 1998 for his first crown.

    Mayweather, the WBC's current welterweight beltholder, will rise in weight to face WBA junior middleweight beltholder Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30 KOs), against whom he will pursue his eighth title belt over five weight classes on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
