On Saturday, September 17th, one of the biggest boxing fights of the year takes place on the Star Power Pay-Per-View, with Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz. Fans have been dismayed to learn that the PPV will cost as much as $70 to order, so many will be going online to find live Mayweather vs. Ortiz results.
The added cost puts the Star Power PPV at an all-time high cost for fans. The official price of the card is $69.95 with HD, or $59.95 without. The WBC welterweight title fight between Mayweather and Ortiz is the main event, and the card is supported by three additional fights.
The co-feature for the evening is a WBC 154 lbs title fight between champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez taking on challenger Alfonso Gomez, and the two additional bouts are Erik Morales vs. late substitute Pablo Cesar Cano, and undefeated prospect Jessie Vargas facing Josesito Lopez. Both of those two bouts are taking place in the junior welterweight division.
Mayweather vs. Ortiz is not only a big event, but it’s a fight that will have a major impact on the boxing world. It’s Mayweather’s first fight since his May 2010 bout with Shane Mosley. He’s 34-years-old and potentially rusty, and he’s stepping in there with a dynamic, hard-charging young fighter in Victor Ortiz. Ortiz is coming off of his breakout win over Andre Berto, in the likely 2011 Fight of the Year, and is looking to take advantage of a huge opportunity to score a massive upset.
Of course, the hope amongst boxing fans is that the winner faces Manny Pacquiao next. Many are viewing Mayweather vs. Ortiz as a warm-up of sorts for Mayweather, as both Ortiz and Pacquiao are powerful, aggressive southpaw fighters. But make no mistake about it, Ortiz is a live underdog, and has the kind of power that can turn a fight around in a moment’s notice.
It’s a worthwhile main event, but as mentioned, many people simply don’t want to spend $70 bucks to see the Mayweather vs. Ortiz results. That means they will be searching for them online, utilizing live stream video feeds, and more.
Finding a boxing blog offering round by round coverage is the best bet, as you avoid having to download risky computer files from unsafe websites, and you can still get detailed, live coverage. You’ll be able to find out all of the results live, see how the scorecard might look, keep tabs on the undercard and all of the event notes, and more.
So if you can’t miss all of the action, but simply don’t want to spend $70 for the privilege of ordering the bout on television, check out a website offering live Mayweather vs. Ortiz results and round by round updates. You’ll be in the know right as everything happens and you won’t miss a beat – or a punch.
