He should of done that long time ago and more often, not just for publicity to promote his upcoming fight in Philadelphia. Better late than never. I hope more financially secure celebrities do the same.

Not putting what he is doing down, but everybody wants to be all charitable when it comes to the holidays, but what about the other “non holiday” months?
