    Grounds for a DQ were there for either fighter. Bottom line is the Ref had authority to make the decision and chose not to DQ.

      exactly..it is to the refs desecration.....just like when the corner throws in the towel..the ref does not have to stop the fight if he does not want to

        Yeah, I think this played a big part. I happened to be at this fight and watched him stand calmly in that corner the whole time. I'm glad he didn't escalate the issue and that the ref saved the fight.

        I think that is how he ended up turning the crowd in his favor. At first it felt like the majority of fans were rooting for Zab, after the riot...more people were chanting for Floyd. i've never seen a crowd turn like that before

          Yes Floyd Mayweather should have been immediately disqualified.



          Floyd Mayweather vs Zab Judah










          Carlos Molina vs James Kirkland. Skip to 10:40 of the vid.

            That Molina call by the Ref was horrendous ... The bell had rung before the count started, so it was an incorrect call to DQ Molina.

            In Floyd vs Judah ... Yes, it should have been a DQ but it was up to the Ref to execute i.e his discretion. Also, I have never seen a PPV fight with irregularities end in a DQ, its just too big an event.

              you may have something there....

              but if you get to watch the pac vs nadel fight.....

              and see the blatant fouls nadel gave pac....

              but pac's team did not enter the ring......

              just another point to consider....

I suppose he could have argued Arum breached their contract, but that would take time; Arum could also present the argument that it wasn't a sufficient enough breach of their contract to call for termination. So, you're left with Mayweather buying out his contract being the cleanest and most time efficient way of leaving.

                And, for your information, Arum has admitted to owing Mayweather money.
                Source? Ive never heard of that.

                  Berman Stiverne was not DQed after he dropped Arreola in the first fight even though his corner threw in the stool and began to enter the ring. They got a stern warning from the ref. Its the refs job to access these things as not all incidents are equal.

                    The source is Bob Arum really. He's stated it more than once.

                      I think the ref did that in the Miguel Cotto-Yuri Foreman fight... If my mind serves me correctly
