After a controversial finish in which he knocked out Victor Ortiz while he appeared to be apologizing for a head butt, Mayweather told HBO's Larry Merchant in a post-fight interview that he knew (expletive) about boxing and should be fired. "You don't never give me a fair shake," Mayweather said. "So I'm gonna let you talk to Victor Ortiz, alright? I'm through. Put somebody else up here to give me an interview. HBO need to fire you because you don't know (expletive) about boxing. You ain't (expletive)." After Mayweather's comments, the 80-year-old commentator said, "I wish I was 50 years younger and I would kick your ass."

Watch the interview below.

In the match, Mayweather Jr. wins the WBC welterweight title with a controversial 4th round KO.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. remained unbeaten Saturday, knocking out Victor Ortiz in a fight that will be remembered for its controversial ending. In the fourth round of the fight, Ortiz landed a flurry of punches on Mayweather and head-butted him. Referee Joe Cortez deducted a point from Ortiz for what he deemed an intentional headbutt. But as Ortiz appeared to be apologizing, he tried to hug Mayweather, lowering his guard. Mayweather responded with a left followed by a quick right that sent Ortiz to the canvas.
