On the Hawaiian island of Maui, extreme wildfires have caused the evacuation of thousands of islanders. Furthermore, it burned parts of a centuries-old town and killed at least 53 people. TMZ Sports discovered that undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather assisted over 100 people affected by the wildfires.
Over the last two days, Floyd Mayweather has personally paid for 68 families affected by the natural calamity to fly from Maui to Honolulu. Mayweather is also providing hotel rooms for the folks to stay in for many weeks. As well as food from local restaurants and items to wear while they are away from home.
Furthermore, unofficial reports state that Floyd Mayweather is collaborating with H&M to provide apparel for the men, women, and children he is helping. When Floyd was asked for his comment, he confirmed his deed but stated he didn’t want attention for it.

— Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives (@dom_lucre) August 12, 2023The calamity is one of the deadliest wildfires in US history. The fast-moving fires erupted overnight and were fueled by the winds of a distant cyclone. It advanced so quickly that several inhabitants ran into the water to escape the flames and smoke. Crews are still battling the fires that have engulfed various areas, including the historic town of Lahaina.
The fires appear to have burned first in vegetation and then rapidly spread into populated areas as wind gusts of over 60mph rocked the island. The conflagration swept into coastal Lahaina with alarming speed and ferocity, blazing through intersections. It leapt across wooden buildings in a town center that dates to the 1700s and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Floyd Mayweather and his hidden charitable side
Mayweather is also well known as Money Mayweather because of his immense success in his boxing career. Floyd was initially known as Pretty Boy Mayweather when he was 19 years old. Over the years, through his sheer skill, determination, and willpower, he has reached the point where he is now.
Floyd’s current image and persona, which the world perceives, are mainly associated with his bling lifestyle. This is because of his estimated net worth of $400 Million US dollars. Furthermore, his extravagant lifestyle and the way he carries himself embed this image of him.
Charity vs. Justice…what would Mike Davis have said about the tragedy of the Maui wildfires? That they were as avoidable as the ones in Malibu? Perhaps. Upland wildfires are normal in both locations. What's "changed?" https://t.co/VUgyIWCO9z

In recent years, it has come to light that he paid for George Floyd’s funeral after the tragedy that happened to him. Furthermore, he also paid for Joe Frazier’s funeral, who was a well-known heavyweight boxer and rival of Muhammad Ali.
