Luis Ortiz’ first-round knockout of Alexander Flores on Saturday drew suspicion. It turns out the fans aren’t the only ones who thought the PBC on FOX main event ending was dubious.
Andy Foster, the executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, tells The Athletic he ordered Flores’ $80,000 purse withheld and requested he appear before the commission to explain “the unusual nature of the fight being stopped.”
“It’s very rare, we hardly ever do this,” Foster said.
Has a fighter's purse ever been stripped in situations like these? I feel like this isn't the first time that I've heard about a hearing, but it just seems for show.
Kinda like being sent to the principal office
