    Necessary just to restore any semblance of credibility boxing may have had... Why nothing is being done about it is going to be to the detriment of the sport. The Nevada State A.C. should at least show that they care... As long as judges get to get off scott free, this will always happen. There needs to be an example.. This happened on boxing's biggest stage in front of millions of fans and they ain't gonna do **** about it.. RIP boxing for real.

        Online streaming is the way to go. I didn't buy Pacquiao vs Bradley to begin with and streamed it online at the venue i was DJing at and hooked it to big screen tv they have (LOL)

        High speed internet + High speed processor (laptop or desktop) = Not putting $$ in promoter's pockets who give us the bull****. I'm even reluctant on buying Mayweather vs Pacquiao if by chance that ever happens (which I really doubt at this point)

              it is always the Casual Fans Calling For Boycotts!

                    relax people, you need to realize there wont be a rematch because they aint going to be no money in for a rematch.....

                    Top Rank right now is screwed up so bad.... for a rematch bradley would have to get payed more, meanwhile pacquiao still wants his usual 26 mill + ..... newsflash, nobody will pay for this fight and making a rematch would only add fuel to the fire of this being fixed...

                    top rank is ***ed right now!!....... lol

                      At the same time though, just because you're a hardcore Boxing fan doesn't mean you're obligated to buy any and everything Boxing related. At the end of the day you're a consumer, and if the product doesn't meet the standards of what you want to see and or are constantly being given a can of spam instead of the NY Strip steak, at some point you gotta put your foot down. I've been watching and follow Boxing for close to 20 years now and I'd be a fool if I were to buy PPV's for the sake of me simply being a fan of the sport.
