It was a clear win for Pacquiao ...what were the judges thinking? plus I hate bradleys opening clip so arrogant with not much to be proud of yet....I hope the judges are called out and FIRED for cheating and replaced with new judges to deliberate and pass a fair judgement on the game...a re-match is NOT a fair option right now!!!!

Investigation for all Judges. Show the tape round per round in the court how the judges see and scored the fights. Give corrupt judges a lesson. A 7 years old kid knows who won watching that fight. Plain and simple, Manny Pacquaio.

I see Bradley firmed in the betting ring from $5 to $4 just before the fight, and when u take into account the amount bet on this bout you would have to think more a few people had some information and had a huge go on bradley for the decision.

Watched it the first time, thought ok-what a robbery. But on second viewing I've changed my mind and given it to Bradley who in my opinion, looked like he'd done just enough. Pacquiao needed to knock him out-didn't happen. Interesting to see what'll happen now, cos really-what does Pacman need to prove?

It's unfair to this short religious guy who emerged from the poorest life of philipine's streets to give us the greatest fights of this decade,... Pac man won the fight no doubt!.

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...

Bob Arum is behind this awful decision of the judges...boxing is not a sport anymore.It is a business...Don't fool me Mr. Promoter, Arum wants a second fight between the two boxers..Bradley just announced it in their press conference and Arum thinks that it is a good idea and more money to come....Be fair at all times...God sees you all the time....

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.

Another shocking decision for the world of boxing, and they wonder why people turn their back on the sport,Manny clearly won with Bradley lucky to get 2 rounds, yet again the world of boxing turns out to be more corrupt than the British government!! Pacman to win rematch by ko

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 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...")
