Floyd Mayweather Jnr will reportedly pay for the funeral services for George Floyd.

George Floyd, died last week in Minneapolis after Police officer Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes.

Chauvin has been fired and has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Floyd's death sparked protests across the United States over the weekend.

The CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN that Mayweather will probably get mad at him for saying that, but yes, Mayweather is definitely paying for the funeral.
