Floyd Mayweather Jr. is winning

Floyd Mayweather Jr. won the match last weekend with a TKO on what many believe to be an erroneous combination. Ortiz was blindsided by two punches that sent him spiraling down. The critics have gone on to say that FMJ exemplifies everything that is wrong with boxing nowadays; no integrity, strictly flash, no respect for the game or his opponent, etc… but what did he lose? Honestly, the answer is nothing. I’m not a big Fan of the current Clubber Lang, but I can safely say he came out of this better than before and here is why:

1. Making it Rain

FMJ made a disgusting amount of money this weekend as he strolled to a big pay day. He made $40 million in four rounds. That’s $10 mil a round. Ortiz only received $2 million dollars. What can $40 millions buy the eccentric FMJ who would rather buy bling than pay his taxes (At one point this man owed over $19 mil)? I bet there was a Randy Moss stipulation in that contract on how they would pay him, “Straight Cash Homey.”

2. Buy back his bling

In 2008, this man of flash had $7 million worth of jewelry stolen from him. $7,000,000. For this amount of money, you can buy:

* 10 Ferrari Enzos

* 333 Honda accords

* 538,461 movie tickets

* 70,000 pieces of jewelry for a normal human

3. Love the hate

Mayweather might be the only boxer who loves to be hated. He’s flashy, he’s gaudy, he’s egotistical, he’s ignorant, and he does not really give a FUCK what you think of him. In fact, it’s this persona that contributes to fans in the stands and him getting paid… BIG

4. Winning

Hey, a win is a win. There are no style points in boxing. He retains his undefeated streak and the welterweight title. Besides this punch, he was dominating anyway. Either way he would have won this fight. Ortiz was owned and Mayweather offered him a rematch. Honestly, Ortiz made out better by all of this controversy and should stay away from that rematch.
