Furthermore, ‘The Rock’ also mentioned that Themba Gorimbo sold his fight fear after his win over Takashi Sato. He received $7000 for it, but instead of finding a place to stay, ‘The Answer’ sent back the money to Zimbabwe. He did it so that the people back home could have clean water. Johnson added, “After the fight, he sold his fight gear (trunks & gloves) on line and made $7,000. Instead of using the money to find a place to live, he built a bush pump so his village back in Zimbabwe can have clean water.” Let us see what the fans had to say about the surprise visit.
