Everyone on HBO and everyone I watched the fight with had Pacquiao winning 11 out of 12 rounds. Bradley's own corner thought he lost this fight and lost it big. The fix was in for this one.

Probably because Manny Pacquiano recently made anti-gay marriage comments.

Didn't Pacquiao recently speak out against gay marriage?

That'll teach him.

Well, hope it wasn't fixed. But, I used to love Pacquiao until the last election when he organized bus loads of minorities (buses he paid for) and got them all to the polls to vote for Harry Reid against Sharron Angle. From that moment on, I was through with little PacMan. Anybody else remember that?

The fix was in and here’s the proof: https://twitter.com/Timbradleyjr/status/207553002964398080/photo/1

That pic was posted last month. Bob Arum is one corrupt SOB and Keith Kizer (and by extension the NSAC) refuses to do anything about this corruption.

Not to blame PacMan, but this is why for certain fights one should always take the decision out of the hands of the judges. How? By knocking the other sucker out! While it may not always be possible (looking at the records of boxers like PacMan and Mayweather, even though many of their wins are by KO a number of them are still by decision) it is still the only way to 100% ensure the judges do not pull any funny act. It would be difficult for any judge to claim the guy dreaming of his granny’s pancakes on the floor is the winner.

“Ringside punching statistics showed Pacquiao landing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley,” but Bradley won.

Um, no fix there... /sarc

I am going to make a lot of money on the rematch..

Pretty much says it all.

I'm 59 and I can't remember a time when professional boxing wasn't fixed. I'm surprised there is anyone left willing to shell out for PPV...

The NFL is on the defensive about concussions, and we are still talking about a sport whose very objective is to cause a concussion in the opponent???

Floyd "Money" Mayweather must have paid a TON of money to make this happen.

Mayweather is a coward (jailed last month for domestic violence BTW) and will NOT risk his undefeated record by fighting Pacquiao. This "decision" puts off any possibility of the mega-fight by at least another year. Mayweather hopes to retire himself or Manny before ever allowing a Pacquiao fight.

Coward Mayweather has only had 4 fights since Christmas 2007, since he has been rated as one of the top 2 boxers in the world. Pacquiao, the other of the Top Two, has had 10, and it looks like he just scheduled #11 for NOV (a rematch with Bradley... so Floyd will have to spend more money to cheat Manny once again.)

I have no desire to watch another PPV fight when this type of judging occurs. I don’t want to see loser given a win and a belt because judges are corrupt or just not paying attention. When will ESPN, HBO, and Showtime understand that they are in control, not the promoters, the sanctioning bodies, and not the boxing commissions. If the networks cleaned up boxing, eliminated the absurd tangle of alphabet soup titles by awarding their own belts, and forced the best to fight the best, they’d make far more money than they do now. If promoters balk, good, let them make a living off the gate, no airtime, no PPV, just the gate.

As for judging, I want consistency. The networks should have there own judges watching a feed remote from the venue, the same feed we the viewers watch. The judges would have a better view, the possibility of video review, they would not be influenced by the crowd, and they would make their decision based on what we, the viewers see.

If the commissions, promoters, and sanctioning bodies required their own judges ringside, the networks would not even report the results, and, based on what we’ve become accustomed to, that’s no loss either.

Ringside punching statistics showed Pacquiao landing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley, who vowed before the fight to take the 147-pound title from Pacquiao. The Compubox statistics showed Pacquiao landing more punches in 10 of the 12 rounds.

And one judge had it 117-111 for Paq, versus two 113-115 against him. It was FIXED. Boxing fans should boycott the next fight and the next ....
