So whle we're all waiting for the fight of the year, or so they say, I found a copy on youtube of the Mayweather vs Ortiz Press conference video that I would like to share with you guys. The video quality is not top-notch but the message gets delivered just the same. I have been a boxing fan ever since and am pretty excited to see this fight. I will however watch Mayweather vs Ortiz Fight online live on the internet rather than pay thousands of dollars for the Mayweather vs Ortiz tickets that I can only dream about. Ok, i'm going a bit off topic now. So check out the details of the press conference below.
Ok so now let's talk about the press conference and what happened that needs our attention or got the attention of the viewers. First off is Floyd Mayeather Jr.. When he got to the podium, one can hear fans on the building shouting the "Manny, Manny..." refering to Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather started by thanking HBO, a few people close to him, his family and his sponsors. He then proceeds to thank his opponent Victor Ortiz for taking the drug test that Mayweather wanted from his opponent a few weeks before the fight. If you can still remember, this is the only thing that is keeping Mayweather and Pacquiao from having a fight because the latter declines to do the test.
Mayweather then mentioned that on this fight, he will be making tons of money and Ortiz will make only good money. The fans made a small cry from that. I don't really understand what he means with that. He then stated that "Mayweather does not dock or dodge anyone" after saying that these are what the media are writing about after the reports of their (Pacquiao vs Mayweather) fight is not going to happen anytime soon. In answer to this, he then states that he wants to fight Pacquiao badly but the decision lies on Pacquiao's camp if he will do the test or not.
Mayweather gets to talk more and one thing that is worth noting on his almost 10 minutes speech is that he talked more about Pacquiao than his fight with Victor Ortiz. He tries to defend himself on his speech from the media and fans who are talking thrash about him because it hurts him and his family. He finally thanks Golden Boy promotions and HBO and the MGM Grand for getting this fight to happen.
Of the two fighters, Mayweather was the one who talked the most. I would rather watch Mayweather vs Ortiz Live stream than see him talk like this without making any sense and way off topic. His opponent Victor Ortiz only stayed on the stage for not more than 3 minutes and just thanked the important people who made this fight happen. I'll be he is excited to watch Pacquiao vs Marquez fight online too so he can fight the victor of the said match when he's done with Mayweather. I will surely try to buy the Pacquiao vs Marquez tickets and hopefully be able to watch the fight on Las Vegas.
