If you want to be entertained, stop watching two half naked men fighting resulting in a fake KO, and start watching two half naked women loving resulting in a fake O.

I drive down to south beach for that. ;-)
i watched the end of that fight about 5 times on youtube before they pulled it off. i thought it was disgraceful. typically boxers take a step back get there hands up and then fight. except Money saw an easy way out and took it
I'm sure a lot more people would pay to see the fight if it were oh...say $10. But there is no way I am going to pay $70-80 for this without dinner and a happy ending.
Exactly, that's always the risk when someone buys a PPV fight, you never know if it's going to be good or bad. Personally, if I was going to pay $70 for a fight, I'd like at least some kind of guarantee that it'll be a good fight that will last through all 12 rounds. That way, you know you're getting your money's worth. Of course, there's no such guarantee when it comes to boxing (or in any particular sport for that matter). You just have to be willing enough to take the risk and spend the money.

LOL....aint that the truth.
Looked to me the ref put both fighters in their corners and then did the hands together motion to signal that they could go at it again, then the ref was trying to take care of business at ringside as it resumed. I can see room for confusion, but can also see why it unfolded the way it did.
Gif of sucker punch........
Thank HD, that is the 1st time I have seen the video of the conclusion and as much as I agree with "protect yourself at all times". Mayweather is a disgrace to boxing. To say he is a thug would be insulting thugs everywhere.
Have you HEARD the interview AFTER the fight with Larry Merchant?! I have never been a big fan of Larry Merchant, but the disrespectful way in how Mayweather behaved is downright insulting.
There is no video...but get a listen....
Floyd Mayweather vs Victor Ortiz - Post-Fight Interviews with Larry Merchant (HBO) - YouTube
Mayweather is the most disgusting professional athlete of my time. I have never wished bodily harm to anyone...until this man.
there you go....
EDIT:
Here is actual video AND audio of the interview with Larry Merchant... my new hero!

First time I saw it too...it defines the term "Cheapshot Artist". You don't accept someone's apology, you don't embrace them and immediately sucker-punch them. I hope that I will one day see the refereree turn away while Pacquao beats Mayweather into a fruit-juicy pulp.
I can't stand Mayweather, he's an arrogant f***! I'm glad I didn't watch this fight, I didn't want to pay any money to watch this punk.
I've seen that referee in other boxing matches before and he's usually a good referee. He likes to say that he's "fair but firm." Anyway, I don't think it's completely the ref's fault for not telling Ortiz clearly enough that the fight was back on. He probably could have yelled it out louder but Ortiz still has to keep his guard up through out every single round. Meanwhile, I think we can all agree that Mayweather is an a$$hole. He should have at given Ortiz a second to make sure he was ready so the fight stays fair (at least that's what I would have done) But that's Mayweather for you. A guy who doesn't respect his opponents. (or interviewers for that matter)
Hey...if you see of my post, I have not stated that Mayweather cheated, I have not stated the ref "took the fight away" from Ortiz and I CLEARLY stated that "you gotta protect yourself at all times". Ortiz knows better, but at the same token Mayweather is a scumbag. I understand he want to play the "villian" role in boxing. But IF you are gonna play that role, be a "villian" with balls.
