The story: In 1986, on a dare, college student Christy Salters entered a boxing tournament and won.
She continued on with three more matches when she found that she could actually make money boxing, not to mention she was very good at it.
When she needed a trainer she was set up with prominent James Martin , who was skeptical of training a female at first but trained her well and helped her win 44 matches.
Even though there was a 25-year-difference between them in age the two began a loving/protective relationship and soon married.
By 1994 , Christy was signed to Don King and that made both Christy and James famous and rich.
Even though Christy was now a World Champion fighter she was unhappy and wanted a better trainer who could teach her the techniques that could further her career , but James would not allow it.
Every aspect of Christy's life was now being controlled and manipulated by James which caused Christy to become resentful of him.
In 2010 , when she met up with a long lost female sweetheart from high school , James began feeling the pressures of losing Christy for good.
But he could not let that happen.
