Why Is Floyd Mayweather’s Mouth On Victor Ortiz’s Nose?

What exactly is going on here? During Wednesday night’s weigh-in, unbeaten six-time, five-division Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBC welterweight titleholder Victor Ortiz were snapped in a bizarre photo that captured them in an uncomfortable and awkward situation.
In a photo circulating the internet, it looks as though Floyd Mayweather is either giving Ortiz an affectionate peck on the nose or trying to bite the darn thing off Mike Tyson style, however, Floyd’s camp is saying that the photo wasn’t taken right.  When Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, was questioned about his thoughts on the photo, he responded:

“The angle is kind of bad. He’s not biting his nose. No. Somebody didn’t crop that picture right. They probably didn’t snap it right. He didn’t bite him or attempt to try to bite him. For what? But it is a weird looking picture.”

Victor Ortiz’s trainer, Danny Garcia (located in the back of the photo), says he didn’t see the ‘moment’ happen but if it did, then ‘Floyd’s f**cking gay’.

“I didn’t see that at first. I just thought that they were close. But what do I think right now? Floyd’s f—king gay. I don’t know why he would do something like that. Use the gloves, man. Use the gloves.”

According to London’s Telegraph, the photo is a field of depth illusion taken by photographer Stacey Verbeek.  If you look very closely, Floyd is actually shouting to the side of Victor Ortiz which creates the illusion that his mouth was on Ortiz’s nose.

If you pause this video at the :24 mark, you can see exactly when the photo was taken and how it could have appeared as though Floyd’s mouth was touching Ortiz nose.

That was definitely a photo opp gone wrong.
