It seems the time keepers knew the fight was back on, note the judge immediately jump up and start the count when Ortiz hits the deck. The debate will rage on forever, but Cortez said "lets go" and it was seen by both fighters. I honestly don't know what Cortez was doing, but in the melee and noise I'm pretty sure he was asking if the bell had rung, clearly meaning in his mind anyways time was rolling.

Cortez is irrelevant really. He fuked up. But that wasn't it. Mayweather embraced Ortiz and in the same action sucker punches him. Not once, but twice. It was totally unfair, although somewhat warranted. It was dirty, but legal. It was a good shot, but it was cheap. Cortez fuked up. Ortiz fuked up. Mayweather took full advantage. End of story.
