    This shitt is ridiculous. Guys have toworry about a ref, punches, looking up the clock, at the trainer, and then you have these dumb ****ing camera men on the apron?

    They have zooms that can zoom miles now, let alonw 20 feet. Should not be allowed to pass the ropes/place themselves on the ring floor. Distracting to a boxer's peripherary

    He was probably a GGG fan and did it intentionally.

    It sucked that it happened, I for one was really annoyed that it did.
    But really, let's not get carried away here...

    Camera men are part of the business. They need to be ringside and they are as much there for the public and the fighters' benefit as their own.
    If it happened all the time, then yes - strict measures need to be taken.
    But this is the first time i've seen or heard of this happening, so banning these guys, moving them away from the ring/apron, and calling them "dumb ****ing cameramen" would be a HUGE overreaction to ONE incident involving ONE camera man.

    A more appropriate reaction would be to perhaps, instruct all cameramen to have the strap placed around their necks at all times and maybe inflict penalties should they interfere with a match.
