I gotta give a shoutout to Floyd Mayweather’s The Money Team for building a gym that offers help to people who are in an abusive relationship or abusive situation. Abusive situations towards women, privately and openly, are very common and multiply on a daily basis. The majority of the world claims they care about the situation, and are in a position where they can help, but their promises to help don’t equal up with their actions. Not The Money Team! Their actions match their work and their work matches their actions.
I had an ex come to visit me because she is in an abusive situation with her child, and she doesn’t know how to protect herself or him. The people who are supposed to help her are the ones who are allowing this thing to continue to happen, and she doesn’t know who to turn to. I called the police and they were ready to arrest me for contacting them for her. They told me because I’m on probation I’m not supposed to contact them. So because I have schedules to attend to and I’m not around her 24/7, I decided to stop by the Mayweather Boxing Fitness gym. I spoke to a trainer about the situation after she confirmed that it was ok, and saw if they had a discount for people in her situation. He told me that if this thing is happening, and true they’ll give her and I free training. We just had to fill out some forms and voila, two weeks later we would start our class.
I respect programs like this because we need to help our women learn how to defend themselves against cowards who are comfortable unleashing this type of sin on them. Everything has a domino effect, which means whatever decision you make, wrong or right, there are things that come behind them. With wrong decisions, the domino effect is consequences, with right decisions come rewards and blessings. There are abused women (and men) who are tired of cowardly men and women putting their hands on them and a program like this is exactly what they need.
If the police don’t care, your politicians don’t care, and also your own family doesn’t care, what the hell else does a being have to lose? I’ve been abused as a child and trust me it ain’t easy when the people that’s supposed to love you inflict hate on you. You wanna know the worst part? When the abusive person learns how to inflict that same behavior the way it was given to them. That’s not good. I was close to being that person but the Lord allowed me to meet men throughout my life and taught me how to be a man and not a coward.
I commend The Money Team for sharing their concerns through their actions and not just talk. If only the world were full of people like this. Thanks, TMT.
