Mayweathe：I  am ready to return to the ring and give my fans a fantastic night of boxing by fighting the best out there and for me, that is Victor Ortiz, He is the current champion and an extremely talented fighter who showed amazing skills, and heart, in his last performance against Andre Berto. At this stage of my career, these are the challenges I look for, a young, strong, rising star looking to make his mark in boxing by beating me. Like the rest of my opponents, he is going to try to prove that he can beat me. I commend him for accepting the fight, but on September 17, Ortiz is just going to be another casualty, the 42nd one who tried and failed. Trust me, I will be ready.

梅威瑟：我已经准备好回归拳台了，与最棒的拳手进行比赛，给拳迷们一个刺激的拳击之夜。维克特奥提兹是一名有才的在位拳王，在他与安德鲁伯托比赛中向大家展示了精湛的技术以及勇敢的心。在我职业生涯的这个阶段，我寻求挑战，这时候一个年轻强大，冉冉升起的拳坛新星想通过击败我来一举成名，他和我曾经的那些对手一样，都要证明自己可以打败我，对于奥提兹肯与我比赛，我对他表示赞扬，但是在9月17日的比赛中，他将成为我第42个手下败将，相信我，我准备好了。

Ortiz:  I respect Mayweather because he has been a champion for many years and I know he will be ready, but so will I, I’m a strong fighter and I have worked really hard to silence my critics.  I’m a world champion for a reason and I am not going to let go of my title any time soon. This is going to be a great fight, but I will remain a world champion for many years to come.

奥提兹：梅威瑟在拳台上当冠军已经很多年了，因此我很尊重他，我知道他会认真准备比赛，但是我也会积极备战，我是一个强大的拳手，我努力的进行训练是为了让那些批评我的人闭嘴。我能当上拳王绝对不是浪得虚名的，我不会让我的拳王头衔被梅威瑟夺走，这将是一场伟大的比赛，但是我会占据拳王头衔很多年的。

Ellerbe:  When Floyd fights,  everyone stops to watch and this is an exciting time for boxing as it always is when Floyd steps into the ring,  There is no better show man than Floyd and he backs up his legacy with amazing, one-of-a-kind skills.  Victor Ortiz has shown us that he is a great fighter too and for the two of them to meet makes for a gigantic night for fans all over the world.  It’s always a thrill to see Floyd fight and it’s even better when he faces the best out there such as a true champion like Ortiz.  This is going to be a fight to remember.  Sports fans have a lot to look forward to on September 17.

艾尔伯（梅威瑟推广CEO）：每次当梅威瑟比赛，每个人都会放下手中的活去观赏的，当梅威瑟步入拳台，将是拳击中让人感到兴奋的时刻，没有人能比梅威瑟更加优秀了，因为他继承了令人眼花缭乱那一种拳击技术。奥提兹已经向我们展示了他也是一名优秀的拳手，他们两人将会为全世界拳迷进行一场大战，看梅威瑟比赛一直都会很兴奋，尤其这次面对奥提兹这样的货真价实的拳王，会更加令人热血澎湃，这场比赛会写进拳击历史，拳迷们对此9月17日那都是相当的期待。

Schaefer:  There is no doubt that September 17 will again be this year’s biggest night of boxing worldwide, When Floyd Mayweather fights,  it is an event which brings fight fans,  sports fans and the general public together to see this truly gifted athlete perform. Every year Floyd sets the bar and standard for most pay-per-view buys and this year will be no different.  In Victor Ortiz,  he is facing a young, strong and highly motivated world champion who knows that a win over the pound for pound champion will catapult him into super stardom.  The stage is set and I can’t wait for the showdown of the year.

谢菲尔（金童推广CEO）：毫无疑问，9月17日将会是今年拳台最盛大的比赛之一，每当梅威瑟进行比赛，那可都是大事件，因为它可以把拳击迷，体育迷和普通观众都招揽入场来观看这样一场天才之间的对决，每年梅威瑟都树立了PPV最多的标杆，今年也不例外，梅威瑟的这次将面临一个很年轻，强大，而且充满获胜欲望的对手，因为奥提兹想通过击败P4P之王来让自己一举成为世界超级拳王，现在万事俱备，我已经对比赛迫不及待了。
