Yes, I know this isn't MMA related but it is kind of in a way, because these judges just tarnished Manny Pacquiao's legacy. A loss is a loss, but he didn't lose here, and a loss means a lot more in boxing than it does in MMA. I was sicked when I saw the results, time and time again, regardless whether it is MMA or boxing, judges are the headline of the story.

/rant

Just so this stays UFC related, here is Dana White responding..


Dana White ‏@danawhite

Worst athletic commission in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Dana White is going nuts. It's not that the commission is stupid, because it's the same people running MMA and MMA is fine. The issue is mad corruption and boxing promoters paying off the judges. Luckily Dana doesn't do that and we rarely have blatantly incorrect decisions in the UFC, especially in championship fights. In fact, the only one I've ever seen was Shogun-Machida.

This was the worst decision I have ever seen in any athletic competition. How did the judges all have the same score? 115-113 on every card for either fighter.

We heard a lot about how strange things had been, and this was the icing on the cake... Or the icing and the cake.

In b4 Machida/Shogun 1.

But yeah, garbage call but can't really say I feel bad JMM got robbed against Manny in November, so karma came back and bit him in the ass. Floyd would have schooled Manny anyway. Money Team all day.

Find all the "they fixed the fight" talk a bit much, too much at stake to risk collapsing such a lucrative sport as Boxing over.

Crappy decision yes! but not corrupted or fixed surely!

No one in the boxing world would be careless enough to play that game! No conspiracy here folks!

Not sure if serious?! Many fighters have come out and stated that they've witnessed Bob Arum doing fishy dealings, even as recent as last year.

Bob Arum cares about money and that is it. He says it himself! He knows if the Pacquiao/mayweather fight happens, Pacman will retire and he'll lose a massive financial asset so he is milking him for all he can.
You honestly don't find it suspicious that they've got a poster, a date and a venue for the rematch just 5 hours after the 1st fight had finished?
 
#29 ·
Arum most likely planned this becuz theres no one else left for Manny for a fight other then Mayweather, and since Bradley and Manny are his fighters he gets big money on a rematch. Also doesn't hurt to have an undefeated fighter on his roster.
 
#30 ·
They already have a date picked for the fight and the tickets to be released?

Yeah. fix was clearly in.
 
#33 ·
huh? Judging is a big part of boxing you can almost expect a decision, KOs are a special thing in boxing especially in big fights like this.

What happened last night was not expected lol. Manny won 10 out of the 12, and the only ones Bradley won were due to jabbing and running.

Manny was the only one close to getting a finish, its an inside workings and corrupt judging that clearly took part, and I encourage everyone not to pay for the rematch but rather stream it.

- Yahoo! Sports scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao;

- Tim Dahlberg of the AP scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao;

- Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao;

- Dan Rafael of ESPN scored the fight 118-110 for Pacquiao;

- HBO’s Harold Lederman scored the fight 119-109 for Pacquiao.

Have still yet to see one person score the fight for Bradley outside of the judges.
