Were the judges in Pacquaio/Bradley

[Luilun]

The judges crooked,,,, it was robbery just like Tito-Oscar, Shane-Oscar 2, jmm-manny 3,

Don't forget Castillo vs Mayweather

I don't think this was fixed. There is no business reason to rob Manny Pacquiao for Top Rank, Bob Arum and the city of Las Vegas.

And no, Arum has been in the game for YEARS and knows in the back of his mind that Timothy Bradley will not be a super megastar so that excuse is out the door.

They're going to do a rematch and you have plenty of people on here who view it as a legitimate fight just because Bradley "won" the first one.

If Pacquiao had got the decision like he deserved, there would be absolutely no call for a return because frankly, he looked bored in there with how easy it was.

Arum isn't where he is today from being a ****** businessman. The first fight was a tough sell and the rematch didn't happen immediately because it would have still been a tough sell. Even the fight in April will be a tough sell. Point is, there isn't enough money in Pac/Bradley, Pac/Bradley II or Pac/Bradley III, for him to fix the fight and kill the momentum for a Mayweather fight or the 4th fight with Marquez at the time.

Robbing your cash cow does not make business sense anyway you look at it. Your cash cow is more valuable on a winning streak. Cash cows get gifts not robberies.

[bojangles1987]

To be honest, the plan kinda worked because now you have idiots wanting to see a rematch of that ****

Only because Bradley beat Marquez and is the best option Top Rank has for Pac.

And as to the thread, I don't get how anyone pretends Pac was motivated going into the Bradley fight. He delayed the fight to watch a Celtics game, FFS.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Yawn, can't believe people are still crying about this..It was a close fight that did not go PAC way..He could make it up tho..

I kinda agree, it was just probably insanely bad judging. We already know one of those judges is almost criminally bad (Canelo-Mayweather a draw), and the other is a head of a sanctioning body who has his own interests

[Sammy2g3]

People really need to stop crying about this fight. Pac DID NOT dominate this fight. It was close and Pac did not have an easy time in there. I scored it a draw when I watched it with no volume. I scored it live, 8-4 Pac.

[Spacey1991]

No, it was just piss poor judging lol. I like Bradley but Pacquiao clearly won that fight. I doubt they actually thought Bradley won, someone clearly lined there pockets.

There have been plenty of other bad decisions in the sport. I don't think the judges were paid off. They were just bad. Incompetence is the culprit here.
