He needs 2 thank mayweather for everything that has happened for him up to this point i.e. Dancing with the stars, Expendables 3 and all the main stream media exposure he has had. If it was not for HBO 24/7 and all the media hype/exposure leading up to the mayweather fight this would had never happened for him.With that being I am happy for him he needs this to keep him going these past 2 years he had some really tuff outtings.
salinass1234 this is a response to my post in the other forum, and I understand ur point however u can not deny that if he did not get the expose from the numerous tv interviews (on that comes to mind is the piers morgan interview), HBO 24/7, and the media hype for the mayweather fight he would have NEVER got this type of expose. Look at someone like Danny Jacobs the guy has a remarkable back story (just like ortiz), the man grow up in the ghetto and to make thing worst he got cancer in the form of leukemia and had to relearn how 2 walk and he is fighting again. But where is his exposer (answer is he has none unfortunately) in my eyes he is more amazing than Robin Roberts (the anchor of "Good Morning America"). All I am say is that Victor Ortiz would have never got the platform if he never fought mayweather, the platform he got could have never been provided from ortiz's handers.
P.S. I am not a pro-ortiz or a pro-mayweather guy these are just the facts.
