THE Money Man returns tonight as Floyd Mayweather takes on young pretender Victor Ortiz in boxing's capital Las Vegas.
The fight has been heavily hyped in America and Richard Schaefer, from promoters Golden Boy, is predicting it will break the pay-per-view record currently held by the 2007 Mayweather-Oscar De La Hoya clash at 2.44million.
The moniker Money Man is bang on. Mayweather, 34, rakes in the money whenever he fights.
He has knocked up 6.9m buys in seven PPV fights generating $375m in revenue, while the De La Hoya bout did a record $137m in income.
He has been out of the ring for 16 months and has boxed only three times in nearly four years.
And the last two fights have been against a faded Shane Mosley and the smaller Juan Manuel Marquez. Due to his inactivity his pound-for-pound crown has been taken by Filipino phenomenon Manny Pacquiao.
The fight that the fans really want — and are tired of hearing of excuses why it's not happening — is Mayweather against the Pac Man, who completes his trilogy with Marquez in November.
They both should come through their respective fights and hopefully, finally, give the fans what they want — a superfight!
Giant traveller Tyson Fury is also out tonight in Belfast.
He's fighting Yank Nicolai Firtha whose claim to fame is taking new WBA world champion Alexander Povetkin the distance.
