This weekend the UFC goes head to head with the only opponent left that can still hit back - professional boxing. Unfortunately for mixed martial arts fans, it's a bit of a mismatch. In the blue corner is Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr, one of boxing's best, a star as famous for his 24/7 hijinks and talk show appearances as he is for his beautiful craft in the ring. And in the red His family disputes make interesting reality television. His legal issues could land him in jail. Worse yet for Floyd Mayweather Jr. is that he's getting older by the fight and Manny Pacquiao keeps stealing his spotlight.
One place he doesn't expect to have any problems, however, is in the ring Saturday night against Victor Ortiz.
"I believe in my skills. I believe in my talent," Mayweather said. "This fight will not go the distance."
Mayweather returns to the ring for the first time in 16 months in an intriguing
matchup against a young slugger who vows to give him his first loss. He'll make millions to fight Ortiz on pay-per-view television, largely because he's found a way to sell himself as must-see TV on the HBO channel.
