By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr. carried HBO’s Mayweather/Ortiz 24/7 episode 3 all by himself, as he ripped into Oscar De La Hoya and Victor Ortiz and was really the only interesting bright spot during the entire episode.
Mayweather has gotten bored with Ortiz playing up his underprivileged background from his childhood and he thinks he’s milked it for too long. It seemed more like Mayweather was disappointed with Ortiz’s inability to carry his own end in helping to promote the fight on the 24/7 series than anything else because Ortiz is like dead wood when the camera is on him, and he keeps repeating himself. He’s got to come up with new material like Mayweather to keep boxing fans interested in the fight.
Here’s what Mayweather had to say:
“I got some s**t on my mind. I’m tired of hearing about that motherf***** storyline. Well, you know my dad left me, my mom left me, man s*** black parents leave all the time, every black you know raised theyself s***. Man, get the f*** outta here, you punk. Motherf***** got a man rubbing on him. A man massaging him. he said he wants a strong black man massaging him. Gimme the strongest black man you got to massage me…De La Hoya a hoe flat up he gay and he a hoe, Victor Ortiz a hoe too, he let a man massage him and the other wearing fish nets. And then he gonna talk about he look at him like a god. Are you f****** serious.”
Mayweather was making reference to De La Hoya’s recent confession that the infamous photos of him wearing fishnet stockings were legitimate. This is the second time Mayweather has mentioned that during the 24/7 series.
I got to agree with Mayweather about Ortiz with droning on too long about his childhood. He needs to get on with it and start with a new line. It was kind of dull with him being shown on a fishing trip and attending a charity event during episode 2. It looked too much like it was all staged to build a good guy De La Hoya-like image. It’s off putting because it seems to contrived for my tastes. What we need to see is more anger, more growling from Ortiz to get fans interested. He needs to go off, throw some chairs tear the curtains off the window and go berserk because this who good guy stuff is putting me to sleep.
