Ortiz is only guaranteed $3.5 million for Mayweather fight
That's almost 10 times his highest purse and with PPV he will make much more.After this fight he will afford a house in a different neighbourhood
3.5M is good money considering the fact that he's not a star, A side boxer, and a PPV draw. He's also not going to get this type of payday unless he fights someone like Pacman.
I like your choice of words. "Only $3.5 million." Sit back and think about how that sounds again. If Ortiz wins he'll set up huge pay days down the road.
??? How do u figure that? If he can come back from quitting on his stool how wouldn't he come back from a loss to a man who is obviously better then him? No one expects vic to win and it will be a good learning experience. Losing a fight doesn't mean ur washed up or a bum, contrary to popular belief on these boards manny boxers have come back from losses and even getting ktfo only to do great things. Floyd doesn't have the offence to put a career ending beatdown on anyone, why would he suddenly do it to ortiz?
Ortiz has a lot of you fooled imo,everyone talks of this great come back but I for one am not buying it..It was a good win over a over hype fighter..I would have like to see Ortiz Jones or Karass..May mentally is too much for Ortiz and imo he will come out of that fight mentally beating more then physically beating..He won't be the same,he should have took his momentum into a fight with another young lion imo..But hey I understand the fight but mark my wards Ortiz will be the one to suffer behind this choice..But 5 mill is hard to turn down so I understand..
Ortiz won't be the same after this lost..

No he wont be the same he will be over $5 million dollars richer. Im just messing but after that Maidana fight I never thought he would do what he has already done.
And when vic loses so what? He's young, he's come all the way back from laughing stock to stud, a loss against floyd mayweather is never gonna be half as bad as that madaina debacle. Floyd is great but he never puts anthing like a "savage beating" on anyone. Vic is gonna get taken to school and after he loses I really find it hard to believe his stock will fall much if any at all. No one thinks he s on floyds level. He has noting to lose which is exactly the position he needs to be in, that's when ur at ur most dangerous.

This only tells people that being the WORLD champion these days doesn't mean anything when it comes to making a salary, it's all about who puts fans in their seats.
Being the Champ means something,but for May and Manny it means nothing..But reg fighters esp on the come up it's a huge nego piece..
wow compared to what floyd is making hes getting robbed

This fight won't sell. Most casual fans don't have any idea who Ortiz is. They don't even need the usual 5-6 months to promote like its a big fight. September is 4 months away.
This fight will be lucky to do Pac-Clottey numbers.
