Boxer Floyd Mayweather will pay for George Floyd's Funeral Services

 

Quote

Floyd Mayweather will pay for the funeral services for George Floyd, according to a Mayweather representative. Floyd, who was black, died last week in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes. Chauvin, who was fired on Tuesday, was charged Friday with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Floyd's death sparked protests across the United States over the weekend. "He'll probably get mad at me for saying that, but yes, [Mayweather] is definitely paying for the funeral," Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, told ESPN on Monday. Ellerbe added that the former five-division world champion has been in touch with the family of Floyd, and the family has accepted the offer. "Floyd has done these kind of things over the last 20 years," said Ellerbe, who added that Mayweather didn't want to talk about his gesture.

 

By a lot of people's accounts, Mayweather has done stuff like this a lot in the past.

Another unarmed black man has been killed by police. He was well known in his community, and even offered the police free meals. They left his body in the street for 12 hours I've read.

Yeah this was posted earlier in the thread. The Police Chief in Louisville was fired they found out all of the Cops body cams were turned off.

I find the Tienanmen survivor meeting especially absurd, considering the White House's use of force against protesters yesterday in Lafayette park.
