This is an excellent idea. If Sulaiman is genuine about this, his heart for once is in the right place. My mind immediately turns to Holyfield and Toney.

Good initiative. Such a fund is long overdue.

Why's the president of goldenboy promotions on this list, Oscar's worth more than anybody thats ever stepped in the ring. His only struggles are with drugs, strippers, sex toys and lingerie.

some innacuracies in this article as this IS an auction 2 help fund needy boxers worldwide that are retired BUT, from what I know and understand, WBC has been doinfgthis 4 almost 2 years , subsidized by Carlos Slim, richest man in MX....one receipient is Iran Barkley...a good move by this organization...

Duckgio Quacktinez is going to need it.

Just give all the proceeds towards Evander Holyfield on the condition he retires indefinitely before the man is seriously injured.

[Frank Ducketts]

Its a step in the right direction. Sulaiman put his name out there so if he tries anything...somebody will hopefully be on it.

I agree. Some of these boxers end up broker than before they started, from 0 money to owing millions to thousands.

Don't think that was meant as a list of potential recipients of the charity, just a list of greats who will be featured on the product being sold to raise the money.

^^^This right here.

Let's hope so.

This is a good idea but I wonder if the WBC is using this to help the organization's image though.
