Last weekend, Boxing returned to center stage in the combat world with Mayweather vs. Maidana at the MGM in Vegas.
While entertaining, many thought Mayweather deserved the loss, but that’s not how it went.
After a controversial decision to the main event, the crowd, un-pleased, went crazy, firing guns and trampling innocent people in attendance.
The scary tale was told best through twitter.
Here it is:
Apparently there were people injured, trampled in an incident when folks were rushing from arena. #boxing #MayweatherMaidana
