    Nice move by Floyd, but announcing to the world is classless as ****, especially saying **** like "The Money Team"

    If this was an example of undeniable class, Floyd wouldn't feel the need to announce it to the world.

    This is just another ploy to get more attention wrapped in a kind gesture.

    Because of the IRS and teh moneychangers, Ali's had financial troubles for quite a while.
    When the time was right, The moneychangers low balled him on buying out the rights to his name for a miserly $50M a few years back.

    Now, every time you see Ali's name on a commercial, on boxing gear, or a sandwich, them moneychangers are getting paid royalties.
    So, Ali couldn't be much financial help to Frazier. He probably put that milk momey away for his kids and Grandchildren.

    Don't let them moneychangers circumcise you, cause they'll sip on your bleeding dick like a straw.

    Fuc all you whining bitches.
    Announced or not, I'm positive Joe Frazier's family are touched and relieved by Mayweather's generous gesture, and in the end, that's all that counts.

    I am sure Floyd meant well, and it's just Floyd being Floyd.

    Good gesture, nonetheless.

    Why the **** would most people feel "angry" and "humiliated" that someone would want to respect a legend of their profession, by giving back some of what Frazier paved the way for him to make? No "most people" aren't this jaded and border line ******ed.

    Frazier represented everything Floyd didnt. He wasnt about being flashy, throwing money around, handpicking opponents. he was a humble guy who lived a simple life and never complained about it. I never heard Frazier talk about Floyd in life, and Floyd shouldnt be talked about in regards to Frazier in death because he decided to throw some money his way now that hes gone. Joe was making public appearances for years even when he wasnt in good health at times to pay the rent for his gym. He shouldnt have has to work in his 60s but he did.

    :huh

    Riiight??? If emulating fighting styles showed if you knew a boxer the Pretty One had NO ****ING clue who Smokin Joe Frazier was, because he put his HEART into the fight. Floyd Mayweather Jr. just does enough...... to keep his face pretty... It's why Frazier was beloved and the Pretty One is just a clown... :smoke

    Nobody is saying that Floyd shouldnt have done it. All we're saying is, dont turn it into a PR campaign by making it public via twitter. Pay a visit to the family, offer your financial assistance if needed, and send the man off the way he deserves to be. Dont push the kid out of the way of a moving car then walk around with a "hero" t-shirt though!
