Now that- that’s classy. Dunno if he did it for promotion, but that’s a classy move. His family has got enough to worry about right now, dealing with how to pay shouldn’t be an issue.

I land in the same camp. I don’t care for Mayweather but at least i can respect his decision to lift some of the burden from George Floyd’s family in honoring his memory

Yeah… dude has a documented history of domestic violence, so he’s still a terrible person in my book; but even broken clocks “do right” twice a day.
