    No the guys just saying that he didn't have to tell everyone that he was paying for his funeral. No conspiracy involved.

    Maybe he didn't have to say it but the fact of the matter is that he has know the Frazier family since he was a kid and it isn't a surprise that he is paying for it to those who know.

    Floyd done this for Hernandez too. Its a nice gesture but no need to advertise this.

    R.I.P Joe.

    Was this the right way to go about paying for a funeral? No. However, as someone who's lost both parents, and had to pay to put them in the ground, this will be a huge relief to the family. I hate on Mayweather for plenty of things, but when end result is a positive one for a the family, that's all that matters.

    Incredibly cynical and crass move from Mayweather. Can't be surprised though.

    Put your hate aside for a damn moment boy. Its a good thing for any boxer to do for the Frazier family and I don't care if it was Floyd, Manny, Ward, or any other fighter paying for it or even announcing it. Rest in Peace Joe.:bbb

    It's a fantastic gesture. If it was sincere. But the way he tacked it on to his message of condolence is as transparent as it is trashy.

    Like I said, put your hate aside. It is a grand gesture and this shouldn't be a time to hate on Mayweather bc it is not about him. He has known the Frazier family for years. That will be a huge burden lifted off of the Frazier family as well and they can just focus on healing right now.

    How do you know its not sincere?

    It's a combination of the hideous IRS, and Kosher accountants.
    Ali had difficulty to, and had to sell the rights to his name to Belgium or some butt fuk country.
    Joe Louis died owing the IRS for money he donated to the US.
    It's always the S.O.S.!

    Floyd a G.
    Doesn't matter if he announced it or not. He's still 1000x more human then the two money ripping entities named above.

    R.I.P. Smoking Joe Frazier. You will be missed. :|

    I don't have any 'hate'.

    You're right, it isn't about Mayweather, which is precisely why he shouldn't have told the whole world about it.

    classless as ever from Mayweather. Using the death of another man to promote himself as a 'nce guy', which he obviously isn't to anyone with more than 15 brain cells.
    A genuine person would've just done it and kept quiet.
    Did he even talk to Frazier's family about this?

    What a sick *******

    Here we have a boxing legend who passes and Floyd sees this as an opportunity to get some publicity.
