EXCERPT:

the WBO’s special five-judge panel unanimously scored the fight in Pacquiao’s favor, the eight-division world champion isn’t hooting and hollering about corruption in his sport. He just wants that rematch.

Following the WBO’s video review and the resulting decisions, Pacquiao said he would rather fight Bradley again than be handed the belt without entering the ring because “people may think I just usurped it.”

Bradley’s victory hinged on a pair of 115-113 scorings from Duane Ford and C.J. Ross. Judge Jerry Roth has Pacquiao winning by the same score.

The WBO’s judging panel all had Pacquiao winning — 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112 and 115-113.

I think the plan is to have Manny have one last big payday in Manila in December and then retire.

He's had a great run but is getting to old and actually he could do more good in the Philippines than in boxing at this point of his career.
