We have seen the very reason what is and was the problem with boxing. Berto was making million dollar paydays and fighting guys like Hernandez, Norberto Bravo, and whoever that matinee idol was he fought to win the first title. He was built up by the network and Haymon and turned out to be this. So finally HBO manned up to this and cut it off and froze out Haymon. Hopefully that era of Berto's, Broner's, and even guys like Roy Jones were able to make huge paydays fighting police officers is over. Berto just got beat by a guy who was whipped by Mike Jones.
Secondly lets look at another angle. Ortiz was given a fight with Floyd by simply beating Berto. Guerrero who had no resume at all at WW was given a fight with Floyd by simply beating Berto. How ridiculous does that look now? Berto is now a gate keeper who earned millions and millions and it was all a facade.
