I got word today from a very reliable insider that Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Victor Ortiz is definitely being discussed for September 17 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and everything is all but finalized apart from the location. The info was shared to me under the condition of complete anonymity.
According to my source, it is a done deal and the fight should be announced some time this week in a press conference. Rumors about the fight surfaced a month ago, after Mayweather expressed interest in fighting Ortiz after witnessing his win over Andre Berto ringside at the Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut, last April.
In 2010, Cowboys Stadium played host to a couple of big boxing cards both headlined by eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao . And as much as boxing fans would rather see Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting one another in September at Jerry Jones' state-of-the-art facility, the return of Mayweather in the ring, facing a dangerous and young converted southpaw like Ortiz, is definitely good news for the sport.
