    One concrete example of how the fight will gain wider exposure than just on HBO: The reality series "24/7," which follows the build up of major HBO PPV fights, will be replayed on either TNT or TBS, Schaefer said.

    Fight is called "Star Power"

    Canelo and Erik Morales may be on the PPV undercard.

    The two-city national media tour for the fight kicks off Tuesday in New York followed by a stop in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

    Schaefer, who promotes Ortiz and has worked with Mayweather on his last four fights, all pay-per-view smashes, said Mayweather was personally involved in the deal.

    "Floyd was very much involved as it relates to the marketing strategy. He came with very specific ideas and requests as it relates to what he wanted to see," Schaefer said.

    - Seems Mayweather is his own boss after all. I bet HBO were desperate to get this fight!

    I wasn't that bad that time. That was a very smart idea from Floyd. I gave HBO props at first, but then I realized it was Floyd's idea.

    And if they get Canelo an Morales on the card, then boxing will benefit
