It has been reported that former five-division champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr., is utilizing his private jet, Air Mayweather, to deliver food and bulletproof vests, among other supplies, to Israel amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which is part of the broader Gaza-Israel conflict. The reports surfaced shortly after Mayweather shared his support for Israel on social media.
“Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes.” – Mayweather
Mayweather has a long history as a humanitarian and often seeks to help those most vulnerable in chaos. Mayweather has often been credited for leading local food drives in his Las Vegas community, supporting local toy drives for underserved communities across the US, and most recently paid for dozens of families to fly safely from the Hawaiian fires in August 2023.
Fan Reaction:
Good work by Floyd. He does many things that people don’t know or don’t give him credit for. Paid for Joe Frazier’s funeral.
