Up at the Top Table, Victor Ortiz put his finger to his head and pulled the imaginary trigger before a wide smile lit up his face.
The WBC Welterweight Champion was sitting on the stage of the Hudson Theater in Midtown, Manhattan, just yards from the man he has wanted to fight for 15 years, back when he was a nine-year-old Mexican immigrant in Kansas.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. was the main draw for the huge crowd at the old Broadway venue. But the organizers were keen to point out that the finger, who agreed to a challenge from “Pretty Boy” or “Money” as he how prefers to be known, had an upbringing so rough that his story is every bit as engaging as that of the still unbeaten six-time champion.
