Once Floyd is finished watching lady gaga he will have to step in the ring with someone.
It looks like Victor ortiz might get the call.
My question is does that fight sell more than Pac vs Mosley.
I mean Floyd will have alot more fans from the gay community with his Lady gaga statement. That should make his fight a PPV bonanza.
stupid is as stupid does. Ortiz is fluent in english and spanish. He lol'ed and arum for saying he can't speak spanish. In an interview with LITT, ortiz said, "if Arum spent just 5 minutes ever talking to me he would know that I am mexican-american and can speak spanish fluently." i'm paraphrasing.
thanks for clearing that up
Ortiz also has an interesting backstory so the HBO build up would be intriguing... tough upbringing... quits in a fight... comes back and FOY candidate with Berto....
It could do really well.

Ortiz can speak Spanish he just doesn't speak it around cameras, so people assume he doesn't know how to speak it.
In my neighborhood, I have lived here for 22 years, my whole life, and not everybody knows I speak Spanish, because I don't like speaking it. There are people who assume I do not know how to speak Spanish. There are people who are amazed if I say something in Spanish.
It will be hard to sell over 1 million with Ortiz, how many PPV's has he been in? zero.
Floyd is a superstar though, so he can come through like he did with Ricky Hatton. Hatton was previously in no US PPV, and despite this, the fight sold 900k PPVs.
Ortiz-Berto attracted 1.5Mill viewers so Ortiz is an attraction on free TV but so is Donaire and Montiel, but what can he do on PPV?
I would be on the safe side and start at 700k-1.3Mill PPVs, for Mayweather-Ortiz. But you know, people predicted Mayweather-Marquez was gonna bomb, and that it will not do more than 500k. The fight sold 1.1Mill PPVs.

That's good to know. The only thing that can hurt him now is if he quits again in a fight. Mexican love their warriors and aren't too partial to quitters!
who the fukk called ortiz a mexican? he can't even fukking speak spanish
If that the case, he is silly. He should've been taking Spanish lessons for the last few years.

i highly doubt FLoyd will reach 1 mil buys against Ortiz.
Floyd did a little over a mil against JMM and it was his comeback fight. i'd say around 750K buys..
Id sure as shiit buy it anyways! Cracking fight get it done! IF a Pac vs PBF fight aint happening that is......
Ortiz is a handfull for all these guys man, Floyd obviously would and Should be the hot favourite tho
