Floyd Mayweather vs Victor Ortiz: Send in Your Official Predictions

Alright fight fans. With the first episode of HBO's 24/7 Mayweather/Ortiz already aired, that can only mean one thing, and that is once again we will do our ritual Bleacher Report Official Predictions on the super mega fight of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Victor Ortiz. The bout will take place September 17th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and be shown live on HBO Pay Per View.

So just like we have done in the past for the previous super mega fights, we will do a collaboration piece and list all of the qualifying boxing experts here at Bleacher Report to share their wealth of knowledge for the world.

We will once again be giving prizes to the two best accurate predictions that get submitted first just as we did for our last collaboration prediction piece on the Klitscho/Haye fight.

So once again, here are the requirements to participate in this collaboration official prediction piece:

Who Is Eligible?

So again, just as we did in our previous collaboration official prediction articles as the boxing community leader, I will open up this collaboration official Mayweather/Ortiz prediction piece up to any featured columnist from any sports community here at Bleacher Report.

I will also open up the eligibility to any of the boxing community top ranked writers who are currently ranked in the top 15 rankings. They should be consistently contributing to the boxing community via contributing strong pieces and are consistently active in commenting on the boxing community articles.

If you are not currently ranked in the top 15 boxing writers rankings in the boxing community, then start writing and contributing articles to the boxing community right now and start climbing the ranks.

Requirements:

1. So again you must be a featured columnist of ANY sports community here at Bleacher Report.

2. If you are not a featured columnist at Bleacher Report, you must be a member of the boxing community and a writer in good standing and currently ranked in the top 15 boxing writing rankings in the boxing community. (If you are not currently ranked in the top 15 rankings, then get writing right now!)

3. You must have a real photo of yourself as your profile picture. (I explained in the past why this is a must).

4. If you are a member of the boxing community, you must successfully complete at least minimum one boxing writing idea assignment assigned by deputy editor Adam Hirshfield prior to submitting your official prediction statement. (We will confirm this)

5. You must have your official prediction statement anywhere from one to six sentences in length completed and either private messaged or emailed to the the boxing community leader NO LATER THAN Monday, September 12th in order for it to be added to our collaboration piece.

6. If you would like to plug your individual sites or blogs go ahead and write verbatim how you would like it to read for example: "Jim Bob Featured Columnist, Jim Bob's Boxing Blog Editor".

Also if you would like to include links to previous Mayweather/Ortiz articles that would further break down or elaborate your prediction then definitely do so.

Prizes:

The two top predictions will win prizes. Meaning the two closest predictions to the actual result of this fight.

So if you are going for a decision you must include your actual score card as well for example such as: "Mayweather Unanimous Decision 118-110". Or if you are going for a KO then for example: "Ortiz KO/TKO Round 11".

If several of you select the same exact prediction then the two winners will be the first two to submit your predictions to me via email or private message.

If none of you predicts the exact result then the winners will be the two closest writers to the exact result.

The prizes this time will be announced after the fight. I will do my best to see what I can get as great prizes from the big fight event.

So there you have it fight fans and boxing experts. Get your official prediction statements private messaged or emailed to me no later then Monday September 12th and again the sooner the better since we will be awarding prizes to the correct exact prediction and if there are several of the same prediction the winner is the first to submit their prediction.

If there are any further questions/comments/concerns please feel free to contact me.

Best of luck to everyone. Let's show the world that we are once again boxing experts and win these prizes!
