Mayweather vs. Ortiz

Floyd Mayweather Jr. faces a tough Victor Ortiz tonight. Ortiz is ten years his junior.  A win increases the demand for the long-awaited possible matchup with Manny Pacquiao:
Floyd Mayweather versus Victor Ortiz is a WBC welterweight title fight scheduled for Sept. 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Ortiz won the belt by defeating Andre Berto in April, and will be defending it for the first time.
Mayweather, a former Ring Magazine welterweight world champion, will be fighting for the first time since May 1, 2010, when he defeated Shane Mosley. In the interim, Mayweather had attempted to set up a fight with pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao, but took the fight with Ortiz when negotiations for that bout once again failed to result in a fight.
The fight is on pay-per-view, so I'll miss out on watching yet again.
