Look, it was actually a close fight. Manny hit harder, and clearly won a few rounds. But Bradley was never ever out of it, apart from Round 4, and he worked very hard. I’m surprised by the win, but not shocked. Well, a bit shocked, it is Pacman going down afterall, but this one wasn’t an 11-1 fight as HBO called it.
You’ve gotta take it out of the judges hands. That’s all.

3 to 1 odds. Arum is behind it all. If you didn’t think he bet against Pacquiao, you’re living under a rock. This is the way of boxing. If you can’t get the Mayweather fight, this is your best bet.

Well said!! This was the worst decision I’ve seen in over 30 years of watching boxing. Those judges stole what was a won sided fight from the guy who earned it. What a disgrace to the sport each of them are.

You were all right and I agree. Split decision in favor of Bradley is completely rubbish. I don’t know how much been paid to the judges Millions?? Really disgusting so all of you guys who symphatised with Manny the best thing to do is to boycott the plan rematch. We were not blind and have seen every rounds and for Gods seek it’s unbelievable that Bradley will win…

Without a shadow of a doubt the worst decision in the history of profession prize fighting. A black eye for the sport that we won’t see repeated. Every judge should be fired and never allowed to judge a prize fight again. A travesty. One guy won EVERY ROUND and the other one was allowed to walk away calling himself the winner. Not Bradley’s fault though. Even Bradley said after the fight (but before the decision was announced) “I did my best but he was just better”.

Arum has found his new money man, more people will buy the rematch, he can now let Pacman fight Mayweather without fear of the result, Bradley can now look forward to Cotto, Marquez, Alvarez and then Money Mayweather. I bet Mosely and Margarito will quickly come out of retirement.

This is all about money. Promoter want to get the very last cent they want from this game since Pacquiao is decided to retire. A rematch is a good excuse to earn more from him. Just like what we Filipinos says… “Pera pera lang yan…” (Translate: Its all about money…”)

i did’nt accept the result of this score card..why this happened??? i am sure, bradley wins because of punches. although its not hard punch, but many soft punches to pacquaio..supposed to be coaches will advised pacquaio to counter punch against bradley… just like during the latest fight of marquez…..

This fight destroyed the fight game for me. What a disgrace these judges are. I swear on my dear father’s grave I will never watch another professional prize fight as long as I live.
