All of the momentum for this weekend's fight is behind Ortiz, who is coming off a "fight of the year" candidate versus previously unbeaten Welterweight Champion Andre Berto.

Mayweather hasn't fought since defeating Shane Mosley in May 2010. He remains a heavy favorite over the 24-year-old.

The anticipation is already building after the first three episodes of 24/7, which gives fans an in-depth account of what to expect inside the ring.

If Ortiz can pull off the upset, he could be the next big star boxing needs right now. This is his chance to prove himself.
