A chance for boxer to do something decent
There's no doubt that Floyd Mayweather fought a great fight this weekend, but some of the best fights can be fought without Pay-Per-View.
It's obvious Mayweather has an image problem. His "money over everything" image could use a bit of softening.
If I were his publicist, I would advise him to pay the $500.000 bond for Allen Bullock, a Baltimore teen who is in jail now and is facing life in prison for rioting and malicious destruction of property after protesting the death of Freddie Gray. Bullock later turned himself in to police and admitted what he did was wrong.
It's unfair that Bullock's bail was set higher than the six Baltimore police officers who were charged in the death of Freddie Gray.
Mayweather could benefit from some much-needed positive publicity and help an African American youth in the process. Now that Mayweather has proved his greatness inside the ring. it's time he proves how great he can possibly be outside the ring as well.
