Video: The Incredibly Awful Mayweather vs Ortiz Press Conference Promo

Thankfully, someone has gotten this up on YouTube today, because I about lost my mind trying to watch this earlier. I was either going to cry, die, or pee from laughing at how insanely stupid and cheesy this video is. If you have 11 minutes of your time to kill, this is a super fun way to do it. I cannot really put this thing into words.

Now give yourself a moment after you've watched this. Truly reflect on the otherworldly goofiness you've just endured. These promo videos are always a laugh, but this one is a true cake-taker. Good grief.

Also, Oscar de la Hoya had a real superstar morning on Twitter, which drove me half-nuts itself. A few highlights:

I had a feeling with mosley Marquez and HATTON.this is different with victor I have a hunch.and when having the hunch I'm 4and oless than a minute ago via Twitterrific Favorite Retweet Reply

You see mayweather had an easy time with Marquez and Mosley.one because of age and the other is a lightweight.less than a minute ago via Twitterrific Favorite Retweet Reply


Oscar apparently has forgotten -- or hopes we have -- that he put his heart and soul into promoting the Mayweather vs Marquez farce and wHo R u PiCkInG?!?? with Shane Mosley last year, because it's convenient right now as those are the two guys Manny Pacquiao will face this year. For all the, "Sorry, Uncle Bob and Manny who is so great," it appears that once the lawsuit has been dropped, the same little snipes will always come forward. And why not, I guess? I mean, where do you think he learned promoter stuff from? Why, Bob Arum, of course.

Also, Oscar's feelings are useless, but his hunches mean you should put your savings down with the local bookie.

Victor over Berto I think was one. Mosley over Margarito, maybe. I’m trying to think of Golden Boy “upsets.”

When i have a hunch never bet against me.when I sent that message to Obama about bin laden I just felt something major happened.

And this from April 27th, 5 days before Bin Laden was killed.

Yeah, I never said anything, but I kind of wanted to. (I didn’t want to leech “osama bin laden dead” traffic. I’ll leech a lot of traffic, but not something that serious.) Oscar sort of taking credit for Osama Bin Laden being killed was…pretty wild.

The universe of boxing has long awaited a time when the sun and the moon would align for boxing’s greatest star to battle with boxing’s newest star.

Only one man can rule the universe!

I can’t stop laughing. What the fuck did I just watch.

Holy crap, this is like something out of the 1980s.

It’s looks cheaply made, hell they didn’t even do a Mayweather vs. Mosley PPV dollar numbers!
This shit is killing me.

This is amazing. I mean damn. The boxing universe is waiting for their stars to align, or for the stars to collide, or for bruce wilis to plant a bomb on a meteor to save-no, that’s a movie sorry. But yeah. More of this, please. I’m begging you people.

It’s so camp it might be art. Did Marvel comics have something to do with this? Right from the NASA footage, you knew you were in for something “special.”

Yeah I kept thinking of the intro to the first X-Men movie.

For Christ Sakes, this guy drew with Peterson just two fights ago. Pass me the puke bucket.
