Sugar Ray Leonard helps Usher raise money for his foundation

Sugar Ray Leonard got the crowd going at Usher’s annual charity luncheon for his New Look Foundation on Thursday by offering boxing lessons to a lucky bidder.

The event’s emcee Ludacris explained that the winner of the lot could bring six guests.

“They’ll give you $1,000 [each] to go to Sugar Ray Leonard’s house, so you’ll get your money back,” the rapper joked.

Bidding reached $25,000, and Leonard also said the winner could take photos with him and his 1976 Olympic gold medal.
