Was the near loss for pacquiao good for the sport of boxing?

Pac/Jmm III will join the long list of fights that had controversial scoring issues. This is nothing new, just talked about due to their popularity. Remember the PW/Martinez I scores. Its all in the judges. Don't rely on the judges/scorecards!

I'd say maybe... because now pac looks more beatable than ever (in every bodies eyes this time) so.... maybe.

im not sure how a fight which i scored 8-4, and one, which none of the judges had him losing is a near loss.... cause we all have eyes and saw him get beat up...and he got a majority decision..thats a near loss son,

They barely talked about the fight on Sportscenter...after May-Ortiz it headlined for like 3 days straight. of course they wanna try to trash floyd but wanna try to hide what happened last week

The fight itself was good was for the sport bad for the people who run it. The decision was bad for the sport and the people who run it.

good for pacquiao because he no longer looks like a super saiyan unstoppable beast that put steroids on peoples minds and it probably gained floyd a lil more confidence in himself. bad for jmm because he lost obv... and he looks like he isnt far away from chris benoit'ing himself and his family. bad for floyd because he couldve beat pac that night and if he beats him in the future mexicans will say jmm did it first. and as floyd said mexicans are his greatest fans. good for boxing because pac is a legend and everytime he is in the ring guys get boners and girls get wet

The fight and event itself was great for boxing, but the decision wasn't.

Yes it will. Now we know who's holding up the Pac-May fight. Before we couldn't be 100% sure, now we know the crook Arum is to blame.
