Ortiz DQ'd for sucker-punch! Karma?

[Gandalf]

Not really, it was the Ortiz own fault.

Ref started fight, Ortiz didn't protect!

You can choose to respect your opponent or not. That's fair enough, but Mayweather got paid a lot of money to fight and he owed all who watched a lot more than that. It was a lame way to end a fight. Floyd is such a warrior for doing that.

First he couldn't make weight against Marquez, now he sucker punched an opponent and let's not forget the Mayweather/Cortez tag team against Hatton.

If anyone deserves in this world deserves karma it is a toss up between Floyd Mayweather and Tony Blair. Ortiz has recieved his karma.

I never said it was a classy win, I hate Mayweather!

But the more I've read and the more videos I've seen, the ref does say "ok lets go" Ortiz just didn't hear him properly!

Not classy but also fair.

When you say 'fair' I am sure you mean in the loosest definition of the term. It was within the rules, but was not 'fair'. It was a horribly cynical move. There was no regulation in place to stop the financial crisis, but nobody would say that was fair and yet governments gave the wink and a nudge. The environment existed where a sucker punch would be acceptable, but nobody would think it fair. Anyone who paid 70 dollars to watch that should feel very shortchanged.

No fighter should do that, it makes you wonder how much Ortiz was really getting to him in that round. It was almost a Tyson-esque desperation move. If Ortiz can do that then I would dread to think what Manny might cause him to do. I guess Mayweather would just laugh and count his money on a horse into the sunset, but realistically the fight is never going to happen. Floyd doesn't give anything back unless he has to. No way he gives up his '0'.

Floyd is much like a corporate banker. He will take and take, but little truly comes back in return.

You understand correctly, "within the law."

It's a complete slap in the face to boxing traditions, which Mayweather doesn't seem to care about. Most fighters talk trash, he talks net profits, drug testing, records, all the BS to make himself feel more superior.

I hate the guy, I have done for years, I never watch his fights, never research him, never want to see him fight unless he fighters the No.1 ........ Pac-Man!

This.

Some things in the fight game a fighter, fan, promoter or analyst just understands as "proper conduct" in the sport. Trash talking about who can whoop who's ass is just ridiculous garbage, but you have to blame the powers that be (promoters to be quite frank) in boxing for making that so! They have given fight fans very little to respect about them except for their love of money... in a sense I can see the culture shift towards making and keeping your own money, because so few of the guys make and keep their own money!

This is just another reason why the fight build up for boxing is going down, and the build up for UFC is on the come up. Unless Mayweather fights Pac-Man, he can never expect a bigger draw than what he had with Oscar DLH ever again in the sport!

I agree! The thing is, the Pac V Mayweather has potential to be huge.

INSTANTLY, it's 2 fights, with a rematch clause, which, provided the first fight doesn't disappoint, is twice the money.

And if the opposite fighter wins the 2nd fight, then it's a 3rd fight. Best money they'll both ever make!

Now how can Mayweather say no to that?
