    Will ORTIZ Get a Champion's Respect on Sept 17?

    I noticed that Ortiz did not get top-billing on the poster:




    Or in advertising...



    That makes sense because Floyd is selling the fight, and Ortiz is getting a big payday. Cool.

    BUT...Will Ortiz get a champion's respect on Fight Night?

    Ring Walk?
    Fighter Introductions?
    Etc?

      One would think Ortiz would be given top billing given his status over Floyd at the moment. It has to be a marketing strategy. My sig pic got it right.

        Even if ortiz loses, he walks away a winner. I know I'm in the minority here but Floyd really hasn't fought anyone in years that are as good as Ortiz is right now, period. Ortiz will be cometitive & may even pull the upset. I should bookmark this tread cause I know I'm right.

          Well we all know what happened to the last haymond fighter who got the blue corner ahead of the champ.

            Your sig pic does NOT have it right.

            Why should Ortiz get top billing?

            Floyd Mayweather is the champion not Ortiz.

                I think Shane was introduce last though.

                However, this here it's irrelevant. Floyd is the real champ of the weight-class. Not Ortiz.

                Ortiz is a paper champ, and the title he got was won in a box off against a Mexican cop, who got fired from the Police force in Mexico for taking the fight.
