3 reasons to watch Clippers-Spurs over Mayweather-Pacquiao
Mayweather is a serial woman abuser that gets glorified in the ring
Floyd Mayweather Jr. may be one of the best boxers of all-time. He is also a serial woman abuser, a fact that conveniently has not been a focal point this week during the lead up to tomorrow’s title fight. If Mayweather wins, we will be celebrating the violent triumphs in the boxing ring of man with multiple instances of domestic violence.
Many fans are already boycotting the fight for the simple fact of not wanting to contribute anymore to this man’s enormous payout. House of Ruth, a battered women’s shelter in Baltimore is offering those boycotting The Fight of the Century a chance to give back to a cause that monsters like Floyd Mayweather Jr. are the source of.
By donating your money instead of paying for the fight, the organization has a list of things you can provide for victims of domestic violence, Via USA Today.
"The cost of buying the Pacquiao-Mayweather pay-per-view donated to them can: House a family of three for one night in a hotel if the shelter is full Feed a family of three, three meals, for three days Provide five counseling sessions for a child Provide four women with the funds needed to obtain official documents that may have been left behind when they left their abuser – like birth certificates for children."
The House of Ruth’s option sounds a little better than celebrating his prowess for battering opponents and putting even more money in the pocket of a man with Mayweather’s character, regardless of how good the fight will be.
