Floyd's death has sparked massive protests in the U.S. after a white policeman, Derek Chauvin, placed his knee on Floyd's neck breathing, which resulted in his death, broadcast Periscope.

Chauvin was sentenced Friday to third-degree murder.

And now, the legendary boxer has shown his support for Floyd, offering to pay funeral expenses.

In fact, it seems that he will definitely carry out financial expenses, as he has already contacted his family, who has accepted the offer.

He will certainly be mad at me for saying this, but [Mayather] will definitely pay for his funeral,” said the director of the American company, Leonard Ellerbe.

“Floyd has done such things in the last 20 years,” Ellerbe added.

This is not the first time that Mayweather pays for a funeral.

In 2011 it covered the cost of the boxer's funeral, Genaro Hernandez, who died of cancer. Mayweather had won the first world title after defeating Hernandez in 1998. /Periscope. com/
