The 64-year-old Ross' score started a whirlwind of criticism throughout the boxing world, which led to her decision Tuesday to email Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer, revealing that she is placing herself on indefinite leave.

"I will be taking some time off from boxing but will keep in touch," Ross said in her email.

Ross, who has been judging fights for 22 years, initially defended her scoring but has since decided that it is for the best of the sport and the commission for her to take a break.

"She feels bad the focus is on her, not Mayweather," Kizer said.
Were the odds really 21-1 on a majority decision for Mayweather? I find that unfathomable as a crooked judge can 100% of the time make that happen in a mismatch.

It was 21-1 yes. The other odd calls were 11-1 split for Floyd and 18-1 split for Canelo.

I was thinking this morning that 50K makes you a millionaire in that situation. Lots of pasta.

"But, for some reason, CJ Ross scored it 114-114. She's the same judge who scored the Timothy Bradley vs. Manny Pacquoia fight 115-113 for Bradley. It's a completely indefensible scorecard and one that needs some investigation. Boxing isn't crooked, it's the people who can alter an outcome who are the problem.

And for those conspiracy theorists out there: A majority decision paid out 21:1 odds in Las Vegas."
