    Yes, there is legal boxing precidence for this anyway. I guess the new working rule is that if your fighter is brutally fouled then you can go ahead and come in the ring. I was thinking about it and remembered Botha-Etienne. Botha hit twice after the bell and knocked down (although he clearly overacted) and then Sterling McPherson ran into the ring to protest and Botha wasn't DQ'd.

    It's tough to DQ one side for coming in the ring, when the reason they are coming in is because of a brutal foul that verges on a DQ itself. So it was the right decision.

      Mayweather is'nt getting Disqualified

      Ratner said Nevada rules don't call for an immediate disqualification.

      "I read the rule with my attorney general and, to paraphrase it, it says a referee 'may' disqualify a fighter if someone from his corner enters the ring," Ratner said. "There is no automatic disqualification. It may be that way in some states, but the rule is not written like that in the Nevada statutes. Richard could have disqualified him, but he and I and my commissioners talked about it and he was not disqualified.

      "There could have been points deducted because of Zab's low blow and the blow behind the head. You could have had a double disqualification because of the other side [Yoel Judah] also coming into the ring and throwing punches. But if we did that, you might have had a full-scale problem in the arena."

      Steele, a veteran referee who has seen his share of ring controversies, said he didn't feel a disqualification was warranted.

      Referee Steele said:

      "Disqualification is at our discretion and we didn't want to see the fight end like that," he said. "The fighters didn't do anything to get disqualified, and you have to think about the sport and the fans. I think we did a good job. We got the situation under control and we got the fight to its natural conclusion, and we let the fans get their money's worth."

      Ratner agreed and said he believed the commission and security did an excellent job making sure the situation didn't blow up into a major riot.

      Ratner also praised ring announcer Michael Buffer, who took it upon himself to use his microphone to try to calm the crowd by offering updates on the situation and asking people to take their seats.

      "Everybody reacted properly, including Michael Buffer," Ratner said. "He was very good at trying to calm the crowd. I thought between Richard and my inspectors and the police, everybody did what they did to stop it immediately before anyone got hurt. If there hadn't been a proper reaction it could have turned into a horrible, horrible thing."

          To DQ Mayweather in a fight he was easily winning, after he just took a low blow and rabbit punch would of been really bad for boxing.
