LOS ANGELES ? Floyd Mayweather Jr. and promoter Bob Arum were at each other?s throats for a decade, battling over the control and direction of the superstar?s career. Then they went through a nasty split.
But Arum ratcheted up the animosity when he questioned Mayweather?s sanity only a few days before the boxer will face Victor Ortiz at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday for the World Boxing Council welterweight title.
Mayweather, who will end a self-imposed 16-month ring exile when he meets Ortiz in a fight broadcast on HBO Pay-Per-View, has repeatedly puzzled the boxing world with outbursts and mishaps in his personal life since his one-sided victory over Shane Mosley on May 1, 2010.
