Floyd Mayweather offers to pay for Joe Frazier's funeral

Floyd Mayweather
RIP Smokin Joe. My thoughts and prayers go out to to the Frazier family. We lost an all time great tonight.

My Condolences go out to the family of the late great Joe Frazier. The Money Team will pay for his funeral services.

 

Nice gesture, but not surprised he announced it to the world on Twttier.

 

Exactly.

 

"The world has lost a great champion. I will always remember Joe with respect and admiration." - Muhammad Ali

I never expected Ali to outlive Frazier.

RIP

 

Floyd could cure cancer, donate all of his money to the victims of AIDS around teh world and you'd still say he has a self-promoting agenda. ::

 

the first step in a selfless act of charity isnt to publicise your intention to do it

 

Who doesn't do that though?

 

Normal people.

 

Youre kidding, right? Start with George Foreman, who has done it in the past. There are countless other examples.

 

fair enough.

I just know that high people like Oprah advertize their generosity all the time

 

my god thats just bullshit pr, he should of just contacted frazier family instead, if he really wanted to do that, instead of anouncing it to the world. no class mayweather, something money will never buy him.

 

He payed for the Genero Hernandez funeral anonymously and it still got out to the press so he probably figured he might as well announce it this time. Nice gesture Floyd.

 

Class gesture from Floyd. He can be an annoying asshole alot of the time but he has his moments.

 

I hope Floyd visits scotland and bones your sister. ::

 

That's very classy. Well done Floyd.

 

Do you still wish death on him?

 

Here here. Also, he stated that he'll pay for the funeral, etc. Why didn't he just contact Frazier's family ASKING them if it was ok if he contributed/payed for the funeral costs, etc.

 

Sure, why not. Save the rain forrest and all that.

 

NO NO NO, HE NEVER HAS HIS MOMENTS, HE IS PURE SCUM

 

Nicely done by Floyd. Too bad he didn't come up with the idea of helping Frazier when Joe was homeless and Floyd burned dollars in front of cameras

 

Joe was never homeless ::

 

sleeping on a cot in a grungy old gym is pretty damn close

 

Floyd is a rich, selfish asshole who owed Joe Frazier a better place to live and an anonymously paid for funeral.

 

He was in the gym with KEVIN ROONEY working on his head-movement, getting ready for a comeback.

 

Todays Champ Speaking on Yesteryears Champ:

“My brother Wladimir and I are very sad to hear that Joe Frazier has passed away. He was one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all times. I am very proud to have the same title that Joe once had. His three fights against Muhammad Ali are classics in sports history. Joe has done a lot for the sport of boxing – as a champion as well as through his social involvement. Our thoughts are with his family.”

Vitali Klitschko, WBC World Heavyweight Champion

 

Shannon Briggs pays his respects:

"Joe isn't dead we just cant see him. His physical died not his energy soul and spirit. Energy can't die only transfer. I know your here Smokin Joe. Just like all of the great. Tell Jack and Ray and Ezzard your boy Briggsy sends his what's up!"

Yeah, I read that it was Rudy Hernandez who broke it to the press that Floyd paid.

 

Fwiw he did the same thing for Genaro Hernandez without any fanfare, and other fighters as well.
