Mayweather announces ring return against Ortiz on Sept. 17

[littlebif]

Floyd and Ortiz are comming to the uk to promote the fight and Floyd will be doing abit training for the fans. He always said he liked the british fans . Not sure why it will need promoting here tho as floyd doesnt normaly fight on ppv here.

Out of interest, for everyone saying this is a dud fight, who could/ should have Floyd fought? (excluding PAC)

I've also just learnt the fight is at 160! That's huge for Floyd, has he been on the Hatton diet?

It's a welterweight bout of 147.. I dont know where you got that 160. You're probably talking about Ortiz rehydrating up to 160 on the night of the night.

Read it on Skysports, I thought it seemed big! They even brang up the Oscar fight about the weight increase.

Sky has to be mis-informed then because there's no reason why the fight would take place at 160.

Floyd always stays in-shape and his walk around weight isnt much different from where he's fighting at.

This fight is for ORtiz' 147 WBC title.

[Spicoli]

160 ? Really. Would be interested in seeing if they are talking about this being higher than 147.Hey I wouldn't doubt it ya know. Forget it being big for floyd, we're talking about a guy in Ortiz who has ONE official Welterweight fight. Wasn't he the one being called smaller then Berto etc etc. I know he has the wingspan of a Condor but wow.

[0james0]

The more I think about it, the less likely it seems. Maybe Sky just made that bit up.

Especially because there's a title on the line.

[Hornfinger]

At the moment I think that this is just here say. I'll believe it when I see it. Theres no point in fighting ortiz or anyone else, he'll win easily. It's no different from pacroid fighting people he knows he'll comfortably beat.

I don't see the point in this fight at all other than to make a little bit of pocket change.

The ONLY rational behind it is some sort of tune up fight to see if he still has 'it'.

He's been out the ring for over 18 months I think, so at least he has that excuse for not being in a competetive fight.

ALSO this fight is only going to amplify accusations from pactards etc that he is 'scared' of pacroid.

Really I don't know why he'd go ahead with this fight. Might as well stay retired.

Ok I see the phrase "pacroid" so I will take it that you believe that he uses steroids. I am waiting for Floyd Sr and Jr to show us the proof they have that he has or currently does use steroids. Until then I will lump that accusation with the same people who accuse Floyd of being "Gayweather".

Oh well at least I get to use my quotes again....

Yes lets only blood test athletes when we already have proof of them juicing. My God that is FUCKING genius that is. That is the cleverest idea ever! You know that's such an intelligent thing to say I'm sure the people over at MENSA will be beating down your door to get you on board. I mean shit. Let's bring that in at the olympics, the only athletes that will be tested will be the ones that we already have proof of using steroids. It's a good job Einstein is dead cuz he'd be shitting himself right now with boffins like you around. The brains at NASA pale in comparison to your superior logic.......

I'LL BELIEVE AN ATHLETE (ANY ATHLETE) IS CLEAN WHEN YOU SHOW ME THAT THEY HAVE PASSED A RANDOM BLOOD TEST. NOT BEFORE.

I DON'T BELIEVE ANY ATHLETE THAT HASN'T PASSED ONE IS CLEAN.

[Hornfinger]

So The gutless cherry picker may grace the boxing world with another boring PPV, yippeee, I can't wait not to watch it.

Are you talking about mayweather or pacquiao here?

Take a look at the subject line in the OP and take a wild fucking guess.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Ortiz just said that he was never impressed with Mayweather. lmfao

What are you fucking serious with that?

[CFH]

The fight is at 160!?!

[fan johnny]

The fight is at 160!?!

I doubt it! The fight is listed as a WBC Welterweight Title Fight.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I think the ultimate source was Sky Sports, who obviously got their wires crossed, assuming we all know Ortiz fights at around the 160 mark.

[Muzzo]

Floyd gets dropped in the first round as part of an elaborate scheme to draw even more interest and bets against him to get kayoed by pac. It will drive his purse above 100 million in a fight against Pac in 2012, with some catchy promotional build up tied to the Mayan prediction of the world ending. (MAYWEATHER/PACQUIAO - THE BIG BANG) Floyd will have Bruce Willis wearing his Armageddon wardrobe during his ring walk. Pacman will fly out in his costume from his film, and I'll be streaming it, because neither is getting another dime from me for PPV.

hahahahaha!!
