It’s the biggest against the best and it doesn’t get much better or brighter.boxing’s biggest star,undefeated Floyd Mayweather,and its newest star,WBC Welterweight World Champion Victor Ortiz,will align their powers when they meet in “Star Power: Mayweather vs.Ortiz.” The mega-fight,which will be contested for Ortiz’s WBC Welterweight World Championship,will take place Saturday,Sept.17 at MGM Grand in Las vegas,Nev.

Floyd Mayweather says:

I look forward to come to the Philippines to fight, to feed the people who are less fortunate, and in the future, yes Floyd Mayweather and Manny Paquiao will fight.

Have you ever been to Mexico?

Yes, I love Cabo San Lucas. Cabo San Lucas is my favorite place in Mexico. I’ve been in different places such as Cancun. But I haven’t been to Acapulco yet. I hope to do it soon.

Exactly how many hours do you train and what would you actually do to keep in shape?

My training routine starts at 3. My training regime goes from 3 in the afternoon to 3 in the morning. Those are my training rules.

How do you do that?

I go to the gym from 3-6pm, and then we leave for dinner. Afterwards, we run and rest for a little bit. Then we go for a long jog and finally go to the fitness gym.  We sleep and wake up and do the same thing everyday ten weeks.

What are you allowed to eat?

Well, whatever my chef cooks, you know. I am able to eat anything. As you can see right now Victor Ortiz’s weight is 164 lbs. I weight 127 lbs. I am a disciplined and very responsible fighter, so I am always on weight.

Last but not least, you’ve over come your obstacles, but exactly what is that power that allows you to overcome those obstacles?

God, what else can I say? God’s the only thing. I mean, you’ve got a lot of athletes and boxers less talented. I happen to be one of the individuals that’s God gifted.

In the meantime, take care of yourself and we’ll see you again.

Thank You.
