BACKSTORY: Inside the Mayweather Boxing Club

“How you doing Roger?” Gerald asked, offering a hand to Roger.

All he got was a blank stare from Roger.

“I guess Roger saw my shirt and obviously didn’t like what I’m wearing,” Gerald, who has been living in Miami, Florida since 1997, said with a laugh.

Outside, around six to eight members of Mayweather’s large crew, wearing TMT merchandise from top to bottom, saw Gerald.

A man sporting a black do-rag called his attention, “hey we selling TMT shirts here, you wanna buy?”

Another man wearing a black TMT baseball cap also fooled around with Gerald, “This is our house, you don’t go here wearing that shirt.”

Gerald laughed it off as he and Love Joy, both registered nurses, walked toward their car parked nearby.
