Anybody see the Victor Ortiz interview on HBO?

I still don't like HBO/GBP selling Ortiz as a 'product'. He's being build up as this poor kid from a bad family background, and I just don't feel he's completely honest in there. He's saying exactly what he needs to say to get people emotionally involved. He's being build up as the new De La Hoya: a good guy with a smile, and maybe that's the road to national/international popularity, but I don't think I'm alone when I say the ever smiling Oscar is something for a camera, and he's not being always honest just to keep the good guy image alive. You see Hatton is an honest, down to earth good guy, he says what he feels not what he supposed to say to 'stay in character'.

 

Don't think Ortiz has the stuff to become the new de la Hoya anyway.

 

Ortiz's story is nothing new, most knew about it anyways, i first heard of this when he was going to the olympics.

 

True,but unlike Hatton,he does not speak in the third person singular.He does not detach himself like Hatton.

 

Sad story, but i agree with everthing BigBone said in this thread.
