Mayweather's win over Ortiz is right on the money







Floyd Mayweather Jr. won the fight with a questionable -- if legal -- pair of punches that Victor Ortiz never saw coming. He followed it by berating an 80-year-old announcer in the ring and demanding he be fired.Later on he would insinuate that the only way Manny Pacquiao keeps winning is that he's juiced.

All in a night's work for boxing's bad boy, and a profitable one at that. Probably not as profitable as Mayweather claims, but a huge payday without doubt.He sells because people buy pay-per-views to either cheer him on or yell at the big screen in hopes he will lose. On Saturday night he won for the 42nd straight time, and he wasn't about to offer up apologies for how it was done.


Aditya Patel grabs race victory in VW Scirocco R Cup



Aditya Patel had to wait quite a bit for his first win of the season at the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup. But the win on Sunday, under wet and testing conditions at Oschesleben in Germany in the penultimate round of the championship, may prove to be timely as now the Chennai lad is within striking distance of a top-three finish in the championship with a race remaining in the season. 
Aditya took full advantage of his pole position start on Sunday to win in the second race of the seventh round, beating German Mortiz Oestreich and Mateusz Lisowski of Poland to the chequered flag. Lisowski, with his third place, sealed the title, the Pole having scored an unassailable 388 points. But Aditya's win has thrown the door open for a four-way battle for the second and third place in the championship.
