If Mayweather is so influential why can't he control who judges his fights?

[Homervanderjazz]

He is the face of boxing and arguably the most influential/powerful boxer around so why couldn't he have influence over who judged his fight and why isn't he going after that disgrace CJ Ross?

[Russian Crushin]

Seems like the corruption is above him.

So if he picked his judges people would swear the fight is rigged

[Beater_of_ass]

Pfft, you think any boxer has control over the judges? Seriously NO ONE is bigger than the sport itself, when Floyd retires there will be someone else. The judges will also do what they can to keep this happening, it doesn't matter who you are once you get old and stop bringing in money you'll be replaced. If Floyd lost 3 rounds cleanly he would have lost the fight, all because a rematch/triology would have made everyone especially Golden Boy a lot more money.

damned if you do, damned if you don't

Could you even imagine how more corrupt boxing would be if fighters had control over who judges their fights? Come on now.

Floyd's never really been damned by even the worst judges. In fact, most of the old guard of officials score for him

fighters can't handpick their own judges
but they can protest involvement of judges they distrust
they're notified ahead of time of who the judges are gonna be
if they don't like it they can lobby for a replacement
Floyd likely didn't give a damn since he knew he'd win easily
but after Ross' history, surprised any non KO fighter would allow her

Why isn't he going after CJ? Well he probably looked at how Pac behaved when he was robbed by 3 judges. With dignity.

If Pac can be robbed I don't see how Floyd cant be? He got a gift decision against Castillo, so this is in some way a payback. And should be thankful Floyd at least got a draw cos it could have been worse. CJ could have said Canelo won.
