Did anyone of you watch this fight? ANYONE! If you did you would have noticed that Ortiz did what I like to call a flying headbutt. It wasn't accidental. Ortiz had Mayweather backed into a corner trying to land some good punches and he just snapped and head butted him. Why did he need to do this? The first few rounds weren't even that bad and I believe it was only two rounds to one on Herald Letterman's score card. Why if Ortiz thought he could beat Mayweather did he decide to jump headbutt the man in his face early in the fight? This is the same guy that quit in a fight remember. My girlfriend asked me why everyone on Facebook was mad at Mayweather, then she proceeded to say didn't Ortiz headbutt him intentionally?
All you Mayweather haters out there who think you know Floyd from 24/7 and from his "so called" legal troubles that the media likes to write about. You don't know him. I don't even know the man. But here's the thing everyone likes to say he's such a bad guy, and all the other BS that you hear just because the man likes to speak his mind, spend his money and box. Sure he is cocky and rightfully so he is undefeated. He is the villain that the media has created. And Floyd being the smart man that he is plays into it. He likes the villain roll. Who doesn't like a villain? We love the Joker from Batman, we love the NWO Hulk Hogan or The Rock, and how about Dana White or Brock Lesner. They are both portrayed as villains by the media. How about Iron Mike Tyson he was the villain too. Everyone of these guys was the villain and everyone of them made or is making a ton of money doing it. So why wouldn't, the best pound for pound boxer in the world do the same?
You don't have to like Mayweather as a person and you can talk all the crap you want about how the man spends his money, and who he hangs out with, but its his image and his money. Not Yours. We all watched 24/7 and the feel good story about Ortiz. But what you didn't see was Ortiz who got $2.5 million for the fight, which was his highest payday to date. Called his purse chump change and complain about how he should get more? I never heard of the guy until he sign to fight Floyd. Now I don't know about you but I could live off $2.5 million for the rest of my life pretty comfortably. The fact of the matter is, we also like to see the villain get beat but in this case he isn't. Floyd is the best pound for pound champ and the best of my time period. The people who hate him are just jealous of the fact he has a ton of cash is the best in his sport. He is cocky, and arrogant but he can back it up. These days we are looking for some outlet to bring down a career like steroids, or scandal. Who cares how he acts, he is the highest grossing boxer of all time and its because of us who buy his fights. You buy those fights to either see him win or lose. The fact is your paying for it and its going into his pocket.
We all want to see him fight Manny and I'm sure that fight will be sooner than we think. But I want to say this. What happens if... wait...What happens WHEN he beats Manny? Hey I love Pacman too. But what is everyone going to say when he loses? The guy knows what he is doing. If you notice on the 24/7 he never shows you the preparations or what he is going to do in the fight. You only see him hit the pads with Roger, hit the speed bag and run. You will never see the man actually doing work in front of the camera. And that is all he wants you to see. He wants you to think he isn't working hard and is unprepared, so you think he will lose but that isn't the case. The man is the hardest working athlete in sports and if you are lucky enough to step foot into his gym to watch a workout you would say the same. He is 41-0 and there is only one person out there everyone wants to see him fight. Its going to be the biggest fight ever in the history of boxing. Floyd knows that, he isn't stupid. Being the best means you can pick the fights you want. He loves the sport of boxing that is why he is undefeated and not one other fighter of his stature ended their career with a goose egg. Floyd has a lot to lose if he were to go down but he needs to be smart about the legacy he will leave as well. His legacy is more important than any fight with Pacman. It may not look like it on the outside but I guarantee everything he does is calculate in a very smart way. So hate him or love him you must respect the man.
