Victor Ortiz dissatisfied to see Floyd Mayweather scuffling with activity after offering free rematch

Victor Ortiz shared his thoughts on all of the news surrounding his former opponent, Floyd Mayweather.

Dana White suggested he could help Mayweather out last month following a rollercoaster 12 months for the boxing legend.

Three different matchups have been spoken about at length, but as of yet, none of them have come together for ‘Money’.

While the likes of Mayweather vs Mike Tyson could still occur in 2026, things aren’t looking great for the person who controversially beat Ortiz 15 years ago.

Do you think that Mike Tyson vs Floyd Mayweather goes to occur?

After a blockbuster announcement, the trail seems to have gone cold on Tyson v Mayweather. Do you reckon it should go ahead, and if it does, who wins?

Victor Ortiz says it’s a shame regarding the news surrounding Floyd Mayweather despite their history

Unlike Floyd Mayweather, Victor Ortiz has a bout just across the corner.

The previous WBC welterweight champion will probably be making his bare-knuckle boxing debut when he faces Dominic Salcido at BKB 56 on July 18.

When previewing the matchup in an interview with Bloody Elbow, Ortiz shared his thoughts on the entire discuss Mayweather and his plans not coming to fruition.

“It’s a bummer, you already know. It’s a shame,” he said. “People all the time desired to see me versus Floyd but realistically, something like that, he’ll keep himself out of harm’s way. He knows what was going to occur. We weren’t going 12 rounds. I used to be going to knock him out but that was twelve years ago.”

Ortiz was beaten by Mayweather in controversial fashion back in 2011 after being hurt by a punch when he was looking the opposite way following a break within the motion.

The 39-year-old has been in a position to take positives at this stage in his life from not getting the rematch.

Nevertheless, he admitted that it wasn’t easy to recover from his frustrations after believing that Mayweather purposefully didn’t entertain this concept.

“It was a reasonably long process, yeah, because you actually should wake as much as living with everyone just remembering that moment, you already know? It’s one in every of those things where regardless of what you have got to say, everyone has their opinion and their expectations. I asked for the rematch countless times, even at no cost. We all know that Floyd loves money. Keep all the cash. I just wish to knock you out.”
