Mayweather should be disqualified.
Whilst a low blow is an illegal punch, boxing has rules and regulations to legally remedy the situation by giving the fighter who punches low, a warning, a point deduction or disqualification. Because of this Roger Mayweather's action was unwarranted. Since he therefore represents Mayweather, his fighter should be disqualified.
The only mitigating factor concerning this issue, is the hate that Judah fosters because of his arrogant and cocky attitude. But making a decision based on the relevant factors of the case, Judah's cocky attitude has no bearings whatsoever.
Other comparisons.
1. Tito hit Vargas low a couple of times. No corners came out to fight.
2. Golata hit Bowe a couple of times, and it was only after the decision was finalized that the riot took place. And this was for the first fight only.
3. When Pacqiaou was beating Barrerra to a pulp, Barrera tried some illegal tactics, and no one's corner came out.
4. Holyfield Ruiz 2, Ruiz intentionally tried to punch Holyfield low, and no corners came out for a meelee
When the judges or the arbitrators or whoever is deciding this case, sits down, I hope they take all the pertinent factors into considering.
In addition, they should review the full tape and acquiesce to the fact that
1. Mayweather's glove did hit the ground. This in addition to the meelee both worked to the disadvantage of Judah with a compounding effect.
Quoting from Starr concerning the melee
"
1) Roger jumps into the ring and at Judah
2) Richard Steele stops Roger
3) Yoel enters the ring and him and Roger square off looking
4) Judah waves it off and starts heading toward the top right corner of the ring.
5) Judah looks to his left and sees a guy(not Roger) tugging on his father
6) Judah cuts the corner to stop the guy and nails him in the back
7) That guy is light brown, and not dark brown(like Roger)
Cool After Judah does this to the light brown guy Roger grabs Judah's glove and drags him into the ropes near Mayweather
9) Roger starts choking Judah as a security guard is holding Judah's arms for hitting the other guy.
10) Guards split Roger off of Judah for some time and the security guard lets go of Judah's arms.
11) the security guards take Roger to the other side of the ring and restrain him.
12) Judah is brought to his neutral corner.
13) Everything is insuing until order is restored and Roger is escorted out. "
As for my personal opinioin, the fight should be ruled a No Contest, so as to preserve Floyd's later exploits by which he got the lead.
