Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Mayweather-Ortiz Will Be Most Promoted Ever

[Rapid Counter]

Who will waste their time to watch a Mayweather fight on pay per view if he is not fighting Manny Pacquiao. We all know what happened to his last fight with JMM. GBP and HBO counted ordered drinks as PPV sales to make the number big. People won't be spending their precious time and money to watch a Mayweather fight. If he is fighting Manny Pacquiao then the whole world is expecting it to be the biggest event ever. The world is willing to spent time to watch Manny Pacquiao fights. Jimmy Lennon is now a household name after Showtime aired the Pacquiao/Mosley fight.

Oh and his songs all went triple platinum and Wapackman won Oscars for best film and best actor right? Must be nice living in cloud cuckoo land

This fuc.K!ng video summarizes what kind of fight Gayweather vs Ortiz would be. DAMN SHAME Gayweather! No matter how you promote this fight, this fight is ****! Gayweather is out to collect his court fee payments from the fools that would buy this fight.

I just hate this double standards bulls**t. Ortiz vs Mayweather is a good fight. If Ortiz loses he will probably get a fight with pac 5 months later and that poster will be talking about how its a great fight and how pac is fighting a tough opponent.

Look guys. I don't think Ortiz is undeserving of any big name who is willing to give him a shot based off his win over Berto and all that. But that still doesn't mean I don't think Floyd is a ho for taking this fight when there are guys like Sergio Martinez and Timothy Bradley (Yeah, I'm mad at him over the Khan thing but he beat Lamont Peterson a shit load more convicingly than Ortiz did). And hell, an old ass Morales came closer to beating Maidana than Ortiz did.

I don't like a lot of the Pacquiao fans who post on this site, but the Floyd fans are even worse because at least a lot of the hardcore Pacquiao fans admitted that they didn't like his fight against Mosley even before it took place.

I have yet to see one Mayweather fan say that Ortiz-Mayweather isn't a good fight. I'm saying it because it's not.

WTF are you talking about? Ortiz is the best option outside of Pac (who wont agree to full random blood tests).

Until Bob Arum/Pac fax over a contract to Al Haymon/Floyd stating that Pac will randomly blood test (no cut offs), I am more than happy that Floyd is fighting Ortiz, the newly crowned WBC Champion and not some bum.

If Berto would have won I would have expected him to face Berto. I actually like the fact that I will see Floyd in the ring with a Southpaw. Maybe one day Pac wont be petrified of testing and will fax over that contract....

Mean time you know Martinez wont get a shot, besides wont that make Martinez "cherry picking" smaller fighters? Dudes got business at SMW when the super six is over. Be real.

well top rank must be counting pop corn and pop sales as they STILL havent released the official numbers for pac vs mosley dance. floyd still is the ppv king. and FYI jimmy lennon was a household name before the pac fight next you will say mike buffer owes his fame to pac. just silly.

Well 99% of boxing fans disagree with you. Stop trolling.

Name a better WW fight outside of Pac Floyd should have fought. Name him now.

It's funny how everyone is pointing at Floyd Mayweather for returning and fighting a Champion yet nobody has praised Ortiz for wanting to fight the best out there.

Ortiz is the Champion and should be fighting the best. Pac didn't want it. Floyd stepped up and its a perfect "tune up". Lets just hope Bob Arum/Pac fax Al Hayman/Floyd a signed document or contract stating Pac will fully agree to random blood tests (no cut off) by the time this fight is over. In the meantime....

Mayweather vs Ortiz @ WW >>> Pac vs JMM III @ WW

[Tweezy316]

At least Floyd is fighting is fighting a Welterweight Champion. When was the last time Pac fought a Welterweight Champion at the full limit????

[FistO]

so he should have fought clottey at a catch wt????

He should, if he has the balls! Catchweight or no catchweight! Oh wait! Gayweather has NO BALLS! And he ducked Clottey too! Catchweight? I wonder who cheated JMM at the scales by coming in overweight, and refused to re-weigh at fight night?

Ortiz vs Floyd: *****s rejoice because Floyd found another goat as an excuse for him to duck Pacquiao and collect his attorney's fees.

Ortiz vs Pacquiao: *****s balk at it and would say Pacquiao is cherry picking a QUITTER and DAMAGED GOOD fighter. Which is actually CORRECT. ORTIZ is DAMAGED GOOD, A QUITTER. Put him in the same scenario, he will do it again. Or he will tell his corner to do it for him.
