    Boxing politics: How come Mayweather hasnt been robbed on the scorecards?

    This isnt in reference to the fight last night, but a lot of fighters today have had dodgy decisions awarded against them. Even cash cows like Pacquiao (Bradley I)and Kahn (Peterson), havent been immune to robberies.
    I know there has been one or two close fights, De La Hoya/Castillo and Maidana I that i think could of gone either way. But at 37, i wonder how long it will be until he is robbed on the scorecards, i'm sure there are a few promoters who'd want their younger fighters to be the next main cash cow!

    Because he's self promoted and Vegas has a big interest in keeping the money flowing. Remember, they even postponed Floyd's imprisonment so he could fight and bring in revenue.

      they've tried. the scorecards in his last three fights were dodgy. but he typically wins too convincingly to be robbed.

        Most of his fights arent even remotely close..

        plus his entire career he has had either arum or haymon/GBP backing him....

        Plus now he is the biggest draw, and generates too much cash for it to be beneficial to screw him over

          The only close fight he had that could have gone the other way was Castillo, that should easily explain this. I know incompetence happens a lot but Mayweather has experienced that already, DLH had a favorable card, Canelo and Maidana having even cards.

            Canelo/DLH were bogus scores.. Nothing wrong with Maidana scores save for the wide Floyd card, and the favorable Castillo cards were bogus as well.

              this fight was actually fixed, lol, the glove situation, the ref, lol, the ring size, lol, the showbox interest, the compubox, lol, etc. , floyd will never ever lose a fight in vegas and he wont fight outside vegas either, lol,

              floyd has lost 3 fights and when he defeated by robbery(maidanas) last fight, Floyd , shobox and vegas made sure the fight was guaranteed (AGAIN) but this time they took everything maidana did away by way of kenny bayless reffing,lol

              maidana never had a chance to beat mayweather , lol, even if maidana dominated the fight, lol, maidana wouldve still lost cause this time sho, vegas made sure of this, lol, this fight was clearly a grabbing marathon stinker by mayweather , lol, bayless job this day was to **** maidanas s game, lol, floyd wins a fixed azz fight, lol, true story

                Because they want to keep their jobs.

                They would be black balled from the sport whether we like it or not.

                  Who has the incentive to rob him? I suspect arum did it for Bradley since PAC was on his way out but clearly is still good. Plus they use competent judges for such big fights

                    They have tried to, look at the Canelo fight and score cards. It's just he won them so convincingly that they couldn't even get away with it. GBP would have completely screwed him if that fight was closer but thats because they thought Canelo was the next big star.
