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.

Just so this stays UFC related, here is Dana White responding..
Dana White @danawhite
Worst athletic commission in the country!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dana White @danawhite
Nevada state athletic commission at its finest!!! Youve for to be ******* kidding me!! that is disgusting Nevada state athletic commission!!
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.
I got scared for a second when I saw Dana's post in my news feed. I thought maybe Sonnen got suspended again or something. Nope. Just boxing. Don't give a shit.
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.
They don't suck. People need to realize they would suck if they scored the fight for Pacquiao, since they wer epaid to score the fight for Bradley....which they did, therefore they are proficient.
So THIS is what Dana was freaking out over on Twitter. Never really followed boxing, but this is disappointing to hear. I guess this means Pac vs Floyd is totally off the table.
I just watched it, scored it 119-109 Pacquiao. Only 4 rounds were even close so the most it could possibly have been was 116-112 to Pacman. Pretty disgusting really.
LOL what a joke! You telling me they've mocked up a poster and got a date within 6 hours of the fight ending? Couldn't be more obvious that this is a hussle.
Based on the information from the forumite who posted it, the second fight was planned well before the first fight and result happened. Make of that what you will.
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?
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.
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.
They already have a date for the rematch scheduled? **** you, Bob Arum and **** you Pacman. I've been trying to get into boxing but after the Mayweather fiasco and this? No, thanks.
Fight stats show Manny outlanded Bradley 253-159 in total punches and had a 190-108 edge in power shots landed. Manny outlanded Bradley in 10 of 12 rounds.
Ridiculous decision.
