Comments Thread For: Sen. Reid Targets Boxing Reform After Pacquiao-Bradley

[paulf]

Nothing will come of this. Mccain tried for years to implement reform and allocate some funds for a national boxing commission. Failed, and he's a huge fight fan.

So then you're against any legislation that could reform the corruption in Boxing?

No I am not. My point was just because it Pacquoia it's an outcry. Pac is the darling of boxing whom damn near everybody loves. IMO there should have been the same outcry when Pac beat Marquez with a gift decision. I've seen lots of bad decisions but now that it's Pac suddenly everyone wants boxing reform. That's all I'm saying. What's good for the goose should also be good for the gander.

I really cant stand trolls..

how the **** is this bad for boxing? jesus.. take your negativity somewhere else. We've been needing reform like this for years.

They got to focus on NEUTRALITY.

In the Pacman vs Bradley:

The fight took place inside USA;
The Referee like Bradley is a Black American;
And three Judges like Bradley were Americans too.

Aren't there any Europeans, Latinos, Asians, who are qualified to be Referees and Judges?

This is so funny that I almost bust a nut.
Thanks for the hilarious post

I guess people just either don't read the articles on NSB or simply miss the point.

I was gonna come in here to agree that something should be done to clean up bad judging in boxing. But it's not because of Pacquiao that it should've been done, it's not because of the Pac-Bradley fight. There's been way worse decisions in boxing that deserved this type of national outcry, this type of support from the politicians. What pisses me off is that it took this little fake ass, sad excuse of a robbery to get politicians crying about boxing. There's been worse decisions than this.

The fact that Evander Holyfield was like 46 when he seemingly beat Valuev, and didn't get the win, therefore not getting the WBA HW title, and not getting the historic "oldest boxer to win a title", makes that decision 10x worse than this little tiny decision being overblown. Yet nobody said anything about it at all, nobody cared. No outrage by any one. Busta Rhymes didn't care, Senator Reid didn't care, nobody cared about Holyfield.

Of course if it is a big name boxer it will get more attention. I would call it a good thing if you like Pac or hate him. If you thought he beat Marquez or not. Who cares when it happens, just that something happens. One of my first thoughts after this fight was if there was ever a time robberies would get some real attention it will be know.

I had Marquez winning all 3 fights but I don't call those robberies. Williams vs Lara was a robbery. Campillo vs Cloud was a robbery. I would rate those all as more egregious than Pac vs Bradley which I had 8-4 Pac, sorry but those 11-1 scores are way off as well but Pac still clearly won the fight even if he did look poor compared to his usual self.

If some real happens because of this fight it could be great for boxing. Don't whine because it is Pac's robbery that made it happen. Right or wrong but there isn't the support for the Campillo's and Lara's in America. Unfortunately this momentum set by Reid from this decision will stall and nothing will happen, prove me wrong Reid, prove me wrong. I would show the revenue the big fight nights bring to the state and what could be lost.

Because no one cares about boxing. If this is what it takes to make change in the sport then so be it. The problem hasnt been exposed to people until this fight.
