I watched the Berto-Ortiz fight in HD, and in the 6th round when Ortiz came back and knocked down Berto, it seemed like virtually everybody was cheering because it was such an exciting round.
You can see Floyd Mayweather enjoyed the round, and even DiBella looked impressed even though he's Berto's promoter.
But in contrast to all the other faces in the crowd, HBOs Ross Greenburg and Kerry Davis, who were sitting on Floyd's left, looked very unhappy.
Davis was openly rooting for Berto during much of the fight, and although Greenburg didn't show his emotions as much up until that round, it became obvious he too was rooting for Berto because he looked hurt himself when Berto went down.

Has Berto been a favorite of the HBO bosses? He received big paydays for fighting carefully hand-picked, usually smaller opponents.
