MAYWEATHER win UPHELD

[bigdlb12]

1 year is a lil harsh, but the fine is fine

I think maybe 3 months would have been ok, can you imagine him explaining that to his wife

"mofo you just cost us 200k, dumb ass and now no work for a year"

yeah, it would've been a huge unneccessary stretch to change the result of the fight.. i feel like Roger Mayweather is the only one really deserving punishment, so i'm glad to see that's how they proceded with it. i guess it's up to them with Zab, he really didn't do anything that bad to deserve reprocusions IMO. Low blows are a part of boxing and many get overlooked all the time, Zab doesn't warrant extra treatment. All and all though i think the commision handled this one very well.

Yes exactly what I wanted(with the exception of Judah and his dad).

Mayweather win upheld!
Mayweather's purse released; Judah's purse still withheld; Roger Mayweather fined $200,000 plus license revoked for one year
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has just upheld IBF welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather's victory over Zab Judah. Mayweather's $5 million purse has been released. Floyd was not in attendance at today's hearing held in Las Vegas. Floyd's trainer Roger Mayweather was fined $200,000 and had his trainer's license revoked for one year as punishment for entering the ring before the end of round ten, prompting a wild melee. Roger, who was in attendance at today's hearing, said he "was terribly upset" about the low blow and punch to the back of Floyd's neck made by Judah and that he had thought the round had ended before he came in the ring. That was the only fine handed out today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zab Judah, Yoel Judah, promoter Don King, and attorney Arnold Joseph were present. King made a fifteen-minute speech in an effort to persuade the commission to disqualify Mayweather for his trainer's actions, but the commission said Mayweather's win stands because referee Richard Steele made a decision the fight would continue and the rules clearly state "if an unauthorized person enters the ring, the referee **may** stop the fight."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judah's purse is still being withheld and he was asked to attend a disciplinary hearing to be scheduled. The commission will now hire an expert to break down the melee frame-by-frame to identify all the people in the ring and review exactly what took place. They also plan to further address the rabbit punch thrown by Judah, as well as Zab's involvement in the melee which included pushing two inspectors and striking at least one person.

Mayweather Still Champ, Roger Not So Lucky

It appears that Mayweather "0" does not go. The Nevada State Athletic Commission held their Thursday afternoon meeting to review the 10th round riot which took place during this past weekend' pay-per-view battle between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Zab Judah. Shortly after the fight, the purses of both fighters were held and an immediate meeting was scheduled to review the in-ring events in order to hand out disciplinary action. [details]

200K is alot of money for a trainer...****, even for a big time fighter.

I really amazes me to see the neveada state commision charge such a heavy fine.

Looks like Sr. will have to come back and train Jr.

I wouldn't be mad if they didn't find Zab since we don't if he did it on purpose. Some say the rabbit-punch was for because he thought he had hurt Floyd. Roger deserved some form of discipline. I was expecting his suspension to be a little harsh. Yoel should face a small fine, not as much as Roger.
