Floyd Mayweather Jr. and welterweight titleholder Victor Ortiz will fight under the banner of HBO PPV in their Sept. 17 showdown after Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer and network executives reached an agreement Wednesday.
HBO will also air the reality series “24/7,” which follows the buildup of major HBO PPV fights. Shcaefer also said there trying to finalize the card, which could be a split-site pay-per-view. He hopes to have Saul “Canelo” Alvarez make his second junior middleweight title defense and rumor is he might be fighting Ricardo Mayorga.
