If Mayweather beats Ortiz, which he should do, then I say it puts him in the driving seat to win the PR battle if he does things right.
Floyd biggest problem is how he conducts himself and speaks, he is skittish and all over the place and needs some coaching on public talking because he easily offends and alienates by picking and choosing the wrong words and saying things at the wrong time.
If he can beat Ortiz and put on a charm offensive with the USA press and get them on his side, then Manny is in deep deep water regarding the honesty & integrity of his legacy because if he refuses to do OST when the mainstream press are all over him too, then i'm afraid however great he is (and I think he is an excellent fighter btw) his legacy will always be tainted.
Floyd will go down as the clean athlete of his generation that beat some good young champions. Manny will go down as possibly the greatest in his generation but with a great big question mark hanging all over his career even 50 years after he has died.......all because of a few blood tests.
What you got to hid Manny? I think a lot personally, but would love to be proved wrong.
