Comments Thread For: Victor Ortiz: I Have The Opportunity To Become Great
NEW YORK -- It was back in June of 2009 that a young southpaw named Victor ortiz of Oxnard, Calif., was being touted by Golden Boy Promotions as perhaps the next Oscar De La Hoya.
I'm absoloutely shocked to see how many people are looking forward and willing to pay for this fight. I, for one, will not be paying for it. And, I'm asking all my Hispanic/Latino people not to buy this fight, either; no matter how enticed you may be to see Ortiz and/or Saul Alvarez fight (Saul will be on undercard). It may sound racist or intolerant or even prejudice, and for that I apologize (as that is not my intention); however, it's time for the promoters to stop taking advantage of our passion/pastime by trying to fool us into buying a fight by simply putting a Latino fighter on the card. Especially when one fighter is reported to be making about $40 million and the Hispanic fighter is reported to only be making about $2 million... I find it insulting and will not be contributing to that. Those of you who feel the same way, join me! Those of you who don't, don't.

No offense man but who cares how much either is getting paid, I mean it’s not like you or I are getting a cut.
That said, though I’m no fan of Floyd Boxing needs fights period and if Ortiz wants to step and go to bat then by all means I take my hat off to him he came off a good win against Berto…
