I didn't get how Ortiz kept wanting to apologize though.

One thought I had though is turn the table and ask yourself what if Mayweather headbutts Ortiz, then Ortiz knocks out Mayweather in the same manner. I would say the aftermath is a little bit different
And rightfully so. Mayweather has done everything in his power to make himself disliked. People want to see him lose, so when he pulls garbage like this, it just gets magnified 10 fold. This was very much like the Steve Johnson hit on Eric Berry last week. It wasn't illegal, but it really clean.
