Sky shocked at Floyds behaviour, refund all losing bets

I'm going to take a wild guess that there weren't many people who bet on Ortiz to win so they probably aren't losing much.

Bodog- and the odds there aren't so hot but I had a small balance left over. Date placed: Sep 12, 2011 5:11p Date settled: Sep 17, 2011 10:17p Single #222819533 (Placed by Web) Boxing - Lines (Game) Moneyline MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States WBC welterweight Championship Both Must Fight For Action (1109) Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr -650 Sat@9:00p Final Scores Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr 1 "Vicious" Victor Ortiz 0 Risk US$ 29.90 to win US$ 4.60 LOL.. I M RICH MOFOS... RICH!!!!!!!!!!! haha can I borrow money from you?

As an American, it blows my mind to see a business do this. First turning refusing to sell the Khan-McCloskey fight as a PPV, now this. Sky is the definition of integrity.

Yeah, I picked Mayweather to win at the books. Didn't win much though. I would have had to bet a ton for that to happen. HOw much did you bet at what odds? I couldnt get myself to place any money with such huge odds

Yeah, they just pissed off all the winners. Yea seriously i would be pissed as well Ehhh doesnt matter, they didnt lose much, i mean who the fukk actually placed a bet on Ortiz

I'd believe it if it involves e-points, with real money? no mames guey!

the ref even made a statement after the fight that he told both fights to FIGHT ON. so how is sky going to give refunds back? im not a mayweather stan but why are ppl mad at mayweather for doing a LEGAL MOVE but they are ignoring the fact that ortiz was the one who commited an illegal headbutt? as trending twitter topic no.1 said PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES

Admirable but stupid

It doesn't say anything...btw what are you doing without Haye's balls in your mouth? Check their twitter: @SkyBet Sky Bet We're refunding losing bets on Ortiz (not inc rnd 1,2 & 3 selections) after #Mayweather's controversial knock-off tinyurl.com/64ytqpx 4 hours ago

Money back on 'Money' win Online bookmaker Sky Bet are offering compensation to backers of Victor Ortiz by refunding losing bets on his controversial fourth-round knock-out to Floyd Mayweather Jr. The sensational climax came after Ortiz, the 9/2 outsider, was deducted a point for an intentional headbutt, with Mayweather Jr unloading a left-right combo to floor Ortiz as he attempted to apologise to the 'Money'. Amid debate over the sporting nature of Mayweather Jr's 42nd successive victory, Sky Bet have refunded Ortiz outright, round betting (not including rounds 1, 2 and 3), and exact method of victory bets. Sky Bet's Kevin O'Leary said: "We decided to refund losing bets on Ortiz to win the fight as we felt his backers were hard done by given the nature of Mayweather Jr's sucker punches, with Ortiz seemingly unprepared to restart the fight." When the controversy of Mayweather Jr's latest win dies down, attention is likely to turn back to the prospect of a greatly-anticipated clash with Manny Pacquiao, for which the online bookmaker make 'Money' slight 4/5 favourite. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,21103_7186489,00.html

well **** sky floyd did nothing wrong

Class stuff from them, hopefully other bookies do the same What do you mean? Floyd and his fans dont know what classy means. To them Classy is eating a Hungryman Microwave dinner with a plastic fork. Classy to them is saying Sorry after they rob you. This is why me and countless other Mexicans/Slav's hate Floyd. We were raised with some sort of pride and self respect for fellow human being. Floyd was raised as a crackhead and no amount of money will change that, but dont worry, he will get his in the end. I just hope Floyd fans dont cry after he gets shot by a few dude's for his cash. I mean, classy Floyd right? Flomo Classy = Smoking crack out of my Crystal Pipe, No plastic for me, no sirrr

Class stuff from them, hopefully other bookies do the same I hope the MGM crowd & the PPV buyers gets their refund too!!! I didnt pay for it but I'm sorry for my friend who did ordered it!

Sky Bet don't understand boxing. no surprise there. :lol1: :lol1: Clearly you don't either. Its amazing what flomos will defend, from women beating, to child threatening and to illegal blows when time was not called in.

I admire that.

on the sky website user everywhere for your own proof if you want it

good move.
