Floyd Mayweather held an open workout in his Las Vegas gym yesterday to show the boxing media and fans what shape he was in ahead of his fight with Victor Ortiz on September 17.

The WBC champion emeritus quelled doubts about any rust he might have after a 16-month lay off with a rigorous routine of bag work and conditioning in front of a packed crowd at the Mayweather Boxing Club.

During his routine he regularly took time out to berate opponent Ortiz and promoter Oscar De La Hoya , challenging them to take up a $2.5m bet on the outcome of the fight.

‘If Victor Ortiz believes in himself and Oscar De La Hoya believe in Victor Ortiz, I bet ‘em both $2.5m a piece,’ said Mayweather as he took a break from the heavy bag. ‘I got $2.5m to Oscar; then he can buy more product because he got vices.

‘Then we got Victor Ortiz, I seen him in Victoria Secrets outfits, so how we can handle this is this; you know your payday is $2.5m Victor, so you go and bet your $2.5m and Oscar is going to put $2.5m on it. So I got a $5m bet right now.’

At one stage Mayweather even joked with a group of British fans, who were standing by the ring apron all in England tops, that he was fed up with the 'hate' he received at home and that he was 'moving to the UK’.
