    he needs to make up the money he lost betting on berto.

    he's so in trouble with irs again probably.

    pbf beats ortiz though. although i bet ortiz against berto. ortiz does have flaws. i'm sure a veteran like pbf sees them and will exploit them. ortiz is not ready for primetime against pbf.

    Several hometown people and boxers at the gym say Mayweather was calling him out the night of the fight. Sometime after the fight he was telling reports he wanted Ortiz next.

    He probably did bet on berto... He had a look on his face like he was shocked during the fight!

    They attended the fight to support victor?

    So where did they hear floyd calling him out? The post fight presser?

    This is possible. The one I won't believe if someone telling that Floyd called Pacquiao out.

    Then he needs to tell Richard and Oscar, not reporters.

    The whole "calling out" process is like a lap-dance to fans. Most likely you just end up with blue-balls.

    When I first heard I pretty much blew it off as "no way" but after I thought about it I thought "what if". I did not take it seriously then so I did not ask them when and where they heard this. One of my boxers only said it was after the fight. I just wondered if anyone here had heard it.

    He left before the winner was announced so highly doubtful.

    If PBF wants to fight Ortiz, you don't call him out; What is he 12 years old?

    You contact his promoter and see if there is an interest in matching the two of you up.

    Calling people out isn't offer to fight.

    Victor is 24 years old.. Yeah he beat berto but I dont think he would stand a chance against floyd or manny.. So dont get too happy.. It wouldnt be a big win for floyd! I really hope GBP doesnt do this to victor, I like the Kid!
