And it wasn't so subtle. Mayweather, 34, is one of boxing's true superstars. He's also one of its notorious bad boys, as evidenced by some of his actions on HBO's 24/7: Mayweather vs. Ortiz reality series, not to mention his myriad legal troubles and penchant for gambling and literally burning through money in Sin City, where he lives and trains. On Wednesday, Mayweather took the high road and, well, played nice. He had complimentary things to say about Ortiz, 24 ("You're an amazing athlete"). He had nice things to say about the media ("even with the long layoff, you guys kept me relevant"), about his fans ("let's give the fans what they want to see"), about the USA ("I'm going to acknowledge the red, white and blue. 9-11, I stand strong for this country) and even about himself during the fight ("I'm going to go in there with class and leave with class"). He remained calm throughout and kept it (mostly) clean.
