Michael Koncz & BuBoy Fernandez of Team Pac attack photographer (pictures inside)

[beenKOed]

These thugs deserve to be punished. Never even noticed that.

Take a look at that ring, were there enough people in there pushing and shoving or not.
Just because you are a photographer does not give you the right to be everywhere or do anything you want.
If it was up to me I'd keep everyone out of the ring until the interviews were finished. Let them take their photos from ringside.
Corner men, promoters, family members, friends, commissioners, Tom, Dick, Harry and the ubiquitous photographers--4 or 5 at least. It's bedlam in there, especially for big fights where the tension is high.
Give everyone a break and stay out of the way for a few minutes. I know these guys live off the pictures they take and sell but look at that ring!

@beenKOed
The photographer had the proper credentials to be there.
They are not allowed to go INSIDE the ring but ARE allowed to be on the ring.
He wasn't the only one there taking pictures.

And by the way I agree with you on not letting everyone get in there. It's what I just said in the post above yours.

However again this was a photographer who wasn't breaking any rules or anything.
He was doing what 40 something other photographers were doing.

Well that's the guy's job. There's a freedom of press, and he had the right credentials to be there. He didn't deserve to be assaulted by some hot-headed idiot.

People have to remember that buboy and pac go way back. Oh snap...if out rhymes it's real. Lol. Nah, but serious though...if my friend that I knew for pretty much all my life, I would of done the same. Protect my boy from everything else that's going on.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I guess I never really stopped to think that taking a picture of someone who had been violently rendered unconcious was offensive.

I bet the camera man was thinking "if I could just get a good shot of his face..."

[Beanflicker]

The same guys where snapping pics of Hatton, Cotto, ect after Manny steamrolled them.

He should be more worried about all the dummies who storm the ring while the doctors are trying to work instead of some camera guy on the apron.

Every fighter with one of these massive entourages of hangers on, rah rah boys and team members create a possible incident where emotions are raw and nerves freyed. You don't need 20+ guys around you, you just don't. Before and after the fight it needs to be kept in check.

Photo journalists go through a process and have credentials to document the event..be it a guy named Dusty Trunks or Manny Pacquiao. Its a public specticle and what happens in the ring is fair game so if you can't keep your composure and need to start kicking people off the 'outside' of the ring sit your unstable pouty arse in the seats.

Like I mentioned above in my original post.
All the while Pac was the one doing the KO's it was OK.
Get the fuck out of here...

I agree I think it was just instinct to protect Pacquaio rather than anything else.

@DavilaJones
Protect him from a guy with a camera? Trying to do his job?

@Second2None it could have been his mom and it still wouldn't make a difference. The photographer wasn't trying to kick him or hurt him. He was simply taking a picture of him.

@Beanflicker my sentiments exactly...

@Spicoli I'm sure you remember the days when it was the trainer, the assistant & the cutman maybe one of his kids oh can't forget the towel & the bucket. But that was about it.
Now guys wanna take 5 people working the corner, his boy from elementary, an artist, his manager & co manager, his barber, his pastor and the guy who dry cleans his clothes. It's fucken ridiculous.
