Because Pacquiao was standing next to the ref and Hatton, when he should have been in the corner he'd been sent to???
Ive noticed that too,i was pissed about that when watching the fight life but fortunatelly it didnt make any diference.
Yes. Although as long as you keep a safe distance from the fighter you just knocked down the ref won't usually back you up and reprimand you like that. Turns out Pac was just a little too close to Hatton and the ref after that 1st knockdown. It sucks when it happens, but it's the price you pay for not obeying the rules.
