How much mayweather make vs ortiz

On Wednesday in his hometown of Las Vegas, Mayweather, who has several legal cases pending against him, was acquitted of misdemeanor harassment charges alleging that he threatened the lives of two security guards in his gated community after an argument about parking tickets related to some of his 29 cars.

For fully a minute the fighter with a mouth as fast as his fists and instincts fashioned on the streets was a blubbing, speechless wreck.

Richard Schaefer, chief executive of Golden Boy, handed him a bar towel and Mayweather wiped away the evidence of his emotional vulnerability. Bemused reporters watched and waited to question him about the sneakiest of late right hands that left Ortiz in a heap in his own corner at the end of the fourth round.

A good majority of the 22, fans there were incited to sustained catcalls. Ringside opinion was, on reflection, divided. From this vantage point, it was marginally legal, coming moments after the champion had butted Mayweather, apologised, hugged and kissed him — bizarrely — then embraced him again.

As the final hug was completed and they stepped apart, Ortiz had his hands by his side boxing's greatest crime and was not fully re-engaged. Mayweather, sensing his opponent's distracted air — and still angry about the butt, for which Ortiz had been deducted a point — pounced.

He clipped Ortiz's unprotected jaw with a crisp hook that swivelled his head to the left. As Ortiz's milky gaze fixed itself on the referee, Joe Cortez, Mayweather launched a missile of a right on to his slack chin, dumping him in front of his trainer, Danny Garcia. Dethroned and bewildered, Ortiz spent the final 10 seconds of his reign righting himself and grabbing for the ropes as Cortez counted over him. Cortez said he had told them to box on, although neither fighter could recall what was said.

The referee was guilty of a lack of firmness, as much as Ortiz could be chastised for losing focus and Mayweather for cynically, though legitimately, stretching the rules to the limit. The controversy continued when Mayweather responded badly to criticism of his late punch from Larry Merchant, the HBO pay-per-view commentator.

Mayweather shouted at Merchant, who is 80 years old: "You never give me a fair shake. However, they do in fact play a key role when scheduling matches. It's unclear why Ortiz accepted the reduced amount, unless he truly believes he is going to upset the undefeated Mayweather. A win like that would propel him to greater heights and bigger purses in the future, and would be well worth the short-term reduction. However, the oddsmakers are leaning strongly toward the champion.

Ortiz has never fought a boxer on the same level as Mayweather, making it difficult to envision him coming out on top. Sponsored Links by Zergnet. The Ivy League produces a large share of the world's wealthiest.
