Mayweather Productions confirmed that Floyd Mayweather had offered to cover George Floyd’s funeral costs
Former five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather has offered to cover the funeral costs for George Floyd, who died while being restrained by Minneapolis police.
Protests have been held in the US and worldwide after Floyd, an unarmed black man, died while being pinned down by white police officer Derek Chauvin.
Chauvin, who kneeled on Floyd’s neck, has been charged with his murder.
Several US reports say Floyd’s family have accepted Mayweather’s offer. (BBC)
