Every since Floyd Mayweather was a little bitty boy he wanted to be a professional fighter.
Today, “Money” Mayweather is universally known as the “pound-for pound” champion of the boxing world.
“Money” is also the greatest money maker in boxing history and will make upwards of $120 million when he steps into the ring in Las Vegas on May 2, 2015 to face Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand hotel arena.
If you don’t know, people are not going to pay hundreds of thousands to attend the fight to cheer Mayweather. Most people will go to the fight hoping to see Mayweather lose!
Mayweather is not the most beloved boxer. He is somewhat less educated, considerably pompous and, to a certain extent, very cocky!
But Mayweather has faith. If not in God, Mayweather has supreme faith in himself!
Every time he has entered the ring, people with devilish intent have said they would beat Mayweather or perhaps knock Mayweather out. In the end, 47 fighters that promised to defeat “Money” left the ring as losers!
Mayweather accomplished what he wanted to and overcame every boxing obstacle that was put before him.
“Money” wasn’t scared to manage himself, promote himself and decide for himself how he wanted his life and career to go.
If you weren’t so terrified of beasts and devils, you could accomplish things also!
People ask me, “Why didn’t you go to Selma for the march commemoration?” I didn’t go because every city in America is Selma! Black people will get beaten, tear gassed and shot in every city south of Canada and north of Mexico! Black people are being victimized, oppressed, exploited and murdered today even more so and worse than they were in Alabama years ago!
Uncle Toms and Jemimas are quick to go to Selma to see rappers, actors and other celebrities hold hands with their enemies and sing “We Shall Overcome” but how many people can you get to come to your town and fight police brutality in 2015. Who will battle to save unarmed Black youth from being shot or choked to death? Who is going to join you and fight for Black business equality? Who will join you in the fight to save Black schools and colleges?
The keynote speaker at the Selma event won’t help you. The speaker you love recently criticized Black institutions of higher learning!
All of the Christians, along with the fake Christians, pray for God to send Angels to help them in time of need because they are scared to help themselves. God has good people helping him but satan has demons and people with devilish intentions helping him too.
When beast bankers take your money, that is the devil’s work. When you get fired for no reason at all, that is devil work too! When you get falsely arrested, over charged and get much too harsh sentences, you got it, it’s the devil doing his thing!
Help me out Bishop, Pastor and preacher, according to Isaiah 35th Chapter, Say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not: Behold, your God (and his soldiers, I might add) will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
The negro leaders that you love want you to bow down, scratch your head, buck dance and march your way to progress.
I want God to send Black Americans another Moses or a Joshua, someone who is not afraid of the wicked Pharoah!
Even if you are meek and even if you are weak, stand up and take the first real step toward freedom and respectability!
Some of the people leading you are getting paid by your enemies to keep you docile, non-violent and afraid to do the best thing, the right thing and to tell the truth.
God helps those that help themselves including the previously meek and weak!
