This was posted on another boxing forum and the Boxing Tribune shared it on their Facebook as well. Its going to be sent to the Texas commission once it has enough signatures and then certain groups will be constantly bothering the commissions until they take steps to stop robberies and punish judges.
Sign it and spread the word! Clean up the sport.

(Green K and points will be given to those that sign and help our sport! Just post so I know you signed if you want)

So..........it took a Pacquiao robbery for this petition to be created. SMH...man.....
Nah man, the thread was started 3/28/12. It's just that now with Pacquiao (a big name, superstar) on the losing end of a controversial decision, more people will be motivated to sign. It's the way **** works, unfortunately.
Those weren't blatant robberies, close fights that could have gone either way!!!! Not 11 Fuc*kin rounds to 1!!!!!!
If those were close fights as you say and judges were honest, Márquez should have at least one win (by probability), he doesn´t because decisions were biased and corrupted.
church!!!! eff pacquiao!! i don't feel sorry for him at all. he has been on the winning end of a couple of robberies already. pac's fans can go eff themselves too because their asses were not complaining about robberies when during the marquez trilogy.

signed. thanks for posting.... guys is there any way they can reverse the decision? like tomorrow they will say "ow we got it tallied all wrong something.2"
I just signed!!!!!! I have been watchin boxing for over 20 yrs and I have seen some bad decisions but this was disgraceful!!!!!!! I hate too say ot but I honestly may be done with boxing!!!!!!!!!
Arum and Bradley should be ashamed of themselves!!!! Arum honestly realizes Manny is near the end of his career, so he set himself up with his next meal ticket in Bradley with this robbery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its crazy to me only 166 people have signed this. Pathetic.
Agreed. They say they're boxing fans yet all they post in are threads about Mayweather or Pacquiao. We should have way more signatures with the amount of active posters here.
I think most everyone is aware the online petition won't in an of itself do anything. I don't think that's the point. The point is to get enough signatures quick enough to get some buzz going. The subsequent articles that talk about the petition that popped up (or petitions), the other links to it that might lead to something else, or bigger articles... that's where the power is.
You're probably not too far off with the 12 year old boys comment tho.
Exactly.
Thanks, Brockton, for sharing this link. Fans of the sport need to care enough to voice their concerns. It's true that many petitions never go anywhere, but change has to start somewhere....
SIGNED....
Thanks a lot, we all appreciate it!
Interrupting their cash flow is the only way your going to get any ones attention. You can petition till your face turns blue and as long as you keep buying their PPV's, they will be laughing at you all the way to the bank.
If you really care and want to make a difference. STOP GIVING THEM YOUR MONEY AND STOP PAYING FOR THESE FIGHTS!!!:damnit:

LOL @ Anybody who thinks this little online petition will accomplish anything.
Some of you guys seriously act like 12 year old boys.
Oh, wait....Most of you are.
