The Official General Forum Boxer/Boxing Related Off Topic News, Notes & Gossip Discussion Thread

What you fail to realize is there are tons of viral challenges all over the net. This is actually one of the better ones. Give money to homeless challenge or cinnamon challenge? hmmmm I dont know maybe it's just me.

 

I'm well aware lol. Answer this honestly. Do you genuinely that this was done benevolently by Floyd? Come on bro. You're not that naive! Is it a good deed regardless? That's debatable.

You're in Vegas right? Big homeless problem there. Personally I don't give these people any money due to the fact that they're likely to spend it on alcohol or drugs. One of my best friends works at a shelter and he tells me that only a tiny % of people who are homeless are free of any sort of substance abuse. This is common knowledge but this is coming straight from the mouth of a person who works at the shelter. He thinks it's better to not give most of them anything as well. Now if a person were to volunteer at a soup kitchen and deal with these people 1 on 1 instead of from parting ways with a small part of their wallet then they're truly performing a service.

 

I dont know what these people are on I'm not a social worker. I've seen him feed the homeless giving out food monthly and give away school supplies in vegas. If he wants to promote giving money to the homeless then so be it there's far worse things he can promote. He also paid for genaro Hernandez funeral and has done tons of other things for other boxers and people. Just because you don't like the man doesn't mean he can't do any good. Hell i know real gangstas who people here would consider trash pay for stuff and give back to their old hood.

 

I don't really care if he does it or not. But that's what is man. To boost image and public perception. a lot of a-list actors and athletes do this - they give to get money off of their taxes and to stroke their egos.

The funeral thing though I do think is legit and from the heart I say that. At the end of the day that's one thing where most fighters have at least some compassion for fellow pugilists. For a multitude of reasons.

 

This. Recording when you give charity to others is attention whoring.

 

Are you ****ing dense. He's recording it to promote other celebrities/people to do it as well. Hence he tagged other celebrities to participate in the challenge. And **** you for liking his comment @UnleashtheFURY let's see you dipshits donate 1000 dollars to a homeless person.

 

These clowns are so inconsistent with who they criticize. If this was Loma they'd be gushing over him saying how humble and generous he is.

 

Speaking of dense. $1000 is nothing for Mayweather. That's the equivalent of an average Joe giving a homeless person a couple of bucks at most. This is a guy who has made hundreds of millions in his fight career.

 

Does it matter what it is to Mayweather? Instead of criticizing people for helping others out, why don't you just do it yourself.

 

Sorry to burst your hero worship bubble man.

 

He's not my hero dip****. Your inconsistencies just annoys me. If Loma recorded himself doing this you would know have the same response.

 

If Floyd wants to help, he should buy a bunch of homeless guys food. That way he knows he's not contributing to a habit. If he wants to record it for a attention, fine, the guys are still eating so whatever.

 

Nice gesture, I just have a problem with the filming and posting, simply because the person receiving the money might not want to be on the internet looking desperate.

People do value their dignity and shouldn't feel they should compromise it to get help they may desperately need.

But I'm sure Mayweather has given to hundreds of good causes without it being public knowledge and I honestly don't think Mayweather did this with self serving intentions.

 

Rule number one, dont give homeless people money, since they will get accustomed to receiving from strangers and thus never even bother to fine a job.

 

Backpack kid is the embodiment of what is wrong with men today, and what constitutes entertainment.
