Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Versus Victor Ortiz on August 17 at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium

[MindBat]

When asked why he's fighting on a Wednesday, Mayweather responded, "See.. Manny Pacquiao is just a weekend fighter, but I'm my own boss. I fight on any day of the week that I want. If Manny wants to fight me, he takes the tests on the weekend, and we fight on Monday. Floyd Monday Mayweather isn't ducking or dodging nobody."

For someone who can't read a calender, September 17 might be on a Monday.

Boxrec has little cred I have found.
If this were true, I'd think Ortiz would be hollering when he said a few days ago, it wasn't true.

But maybe they are working on this and put out floaters to see fans reactions?

The paper that first reported it was the Daily Kansan which is the University of Kansas' newspaper. According to the Kansan Victor Ortiz said at a local fan event in Lawrence Kansas that he would be fighting Floyd Maywearther in September.

My take is Victor actually told the paper that he was either negotiating with Mayweather or Mayweather is who he wants to fight. Not that the fight is made and ready to go. Then the reporter, who is a college student because all of the writers for that paper are students, misunderstood what Ortiz said and wrote the article all of this "news" is coming from.
