Mike Towell Fund

Great effort Billy.

 

What is with this culture of funding people when they go through a tragedy?

In the US there is a former heroin addict who set up a fundme page when his junkie gf died and now has managed to generate up to 50k.

Now this boxer has died, we are led to believe that we ought to give his family more money as if he is the first man to die in the ring. Why? The funeral has already been paid off, so why is there this guilt trip campaign to seek more money?

I would like to know how much the administrators of these campaigns and websites are pocketing.

 

He has a young GF and a very young child you moron, he was probably the main provider of his family and now he is not there to do it any more, so with him sadly passing it leaves a massive void in there lives, one hopefully in time they can overcome, any financial help they get from people at this time will help to let at least his young Son get a decent start in life, so if you have a problem with other people coming to the aid of someone in a very good cause, get out a bit more mate.

 

You sound just like the guy who was posting the same thing about Nick Blackwell. Don't you have a few bets to make good on?

 

So now it's on the public's shoulders to fund the family he left behind, is that right? Well I hope you are doing everything in your power to help all the other widows left behind, because that is the precedent that you are setting here captain planet.

 

Seph i d have thought it was to help the family left behind. Sure mike had a young child and wife. No longer an income from mike sadly. Would go some way towards helping them become more financially secure. Just a show of respect and a way of helping the best people can at what must be a terrible time for them all.

Must say billy take my hat off to you for your part in it all. You ve had a bit of stick on here over the years but it really does show the measure of you. Same goes for a lot of people in the boxing community. Hope the days a big success.

 

Well if that guy was questioning the basis of giving a prodigious amount of funds to persons going through a tragic event, then I am guilty as charged for sounding similar reasoning.

You do realise Nick Blackwell is still alive and well?

 

What's a couple of quid. I jusy sent some money to Thailand to sum dumass that crashed his bike and didn't have health insurance. Its entirely his own fault

But if I can help someone I will
If your always a miserable tight old **** don't expect to anyone to catch you when you fall from grace

 

I help lots of widows, widowers, parents etc on a daily basis, some in the most tragic circumstances imaginable, i also do lots for many charities that support people that have suffered a bereavement, and i have done for many years, you sir just want to spew your vile BS, what if his family are reading your posts, do you not care for their feelings?

The reason you post stuff like this is most probably because nobody ever does anything for you, and why should they if that is your attitude towards other folk doing a good deed, you are probably sat in your little flat on your last stella, totally Pssied at the world because you do not understand it, so why don't you run along and borrow some money off some body and top your dongle up before it runs out.

Banker.

 

That is a very humorous post. You continue to march along with your 'rescue the world' crusade but I don't throw money around at people to elevate myself . I help others in many different ways, it's in fact my job to help people improve their lives everyday.

You need to step off your delusional high horse and stop assuming that the only way to improve other people's circumstances is through setting up a direct debit on your credit card. Such limited imagination is for the prideful, a badge of honour if you will, so you can boast to others how much money you've donated. A narcissistic conceited tendency disguised as performing noble actions.

I'm sure the family of Mike Towel are very decent people as no doubt they have suffered a terrible tragedy. A loss of a loved one is undoubtedly one of the most painful experiences one can go through. However I am not going to sit here and pretend I can fix and understand all their problems with money and that setting up a fund to make myself feel pious, is going to bring Mr Towell back to life.

 

What on Earth are you taking, you should stop.

There is more to Charity than money you fool.

And what exactly do you do, because as you say you help people every day to improve their lives, somehow i doubt it, your ideal job would be a border control ****stable.

Imagine the pleasure you could get from telling people at a difficult time they don't deserve anything that would help them.

Me Sir i work as a Funeral Director, for many many years, i help people daily.

Have you ever sat down with a single person who has lost, say for instance there only son/daughter, and got them through it, and got to be friends for many years because of what you did for them.

So i ask you to reply share with us what it is you do.

You have no understanding of what you are saying, because if you did, you wouldn't post it, the poor man has only just been laid to rest and Idiots like you are posting crap

You probably work as a bus driver who says no to disabled people wanting to get on.

 

I work in the health industry, so I am helping people everyday to improve their health so they can be at their optimum and at the same time be resilient to illness.

Your silver coins cannot buy health and knowledge about one's self.

So do not underestimate my contribution towards others. I have people come to me when they are stricken with a senses of despair and relinquished all hope of attaining health from whatever physical discomfort that ails them . I provide them all the tools and guidance necessary to help restore them back to an optimal state of functioning.

Befriending the grieved and creating drama without solution only presents a prolonging of the suffering. These are the principles you clearly adhere to. This unwittingly creates a psychological attachment to the grief process itself, whereby instead of allowing the individual to move forward past that stage, they remain therein. Undoubtedly this can result in a habitual state where they become accustomed to the sympathy, the money and attention whereby it stops becoming about the deceased but rather becomes more about perturbation

You, as a Funeral Director clearly and consistently overstep the professional mark of your occupation by forming such relationships to your vulnerable clients who I would say need space and time to be able to move forward with their lives, rather than endless reminders of the tragic event itself which your presence would trigger.

 

This forum would not be the same without your warmth, humour, support and Elton John worship mate.

 

You could always go next week, meet the boxers and let them know the strength of your feelings on the subject.
