He allowed Floyd to use his glove, forearm and elbow to control the position of Berto's head all night. lol.
The reason is that Floyd has the influence to choose his own refs (see what happened to Tony Weeks after Maidana/Mayweather 1). Bayless is happy to get a pay day reffing a PPV fight and he also knows that Floyd will continue to have some influence through his promotional company and TMT fighters in the future. This forces Bayless to act like a pandering dog to Floyd and allow himself to go into Floyd's pockets.
Can't be as bad as the top rank paid ref when he called 3 knockdowns on Algieri for slipping on the pool of water pacquiaos corner left in the ring :rofl
we all know him as T-REX bayless the way he carrys his arms limp wristed and high, stalking the 2 fighters
