    It is silly. The majority of boxers seem to have some backup income.

    The smart one's have a career to fall back on and the dumb ones just accrue massive debt on money borrowed from their promoter, so when they get their big payday they get 0% of it.

      What about those of us who didn't hear any commentary and watched it in a bar and thought Pacquiao won? Others at the bar thought he won also and they're casual fans.

        We just need consistency? This comment Isn't necessarily directed at you. It Is meant for all of us.
        When did Manny ever have Floyd bleeding on both sides of the head, flailing punches, constantly with his back to the ropes getting hit with uppercuts, mouth wide open, sucking air, looking like an over the hill 38 year old?

          Should we score the round for Horn because he made Pacquiao bleed from headbutts?

          Just because a fighter does't look like the prime version of himself doesn't mean he lost.

          Look at how Floyd looked against Maidana.

          Pacquiao Is over the hill and needs to retire today and forget about rematching Horn or fighting anybody else.

            Floyd took over the maidana fight after the 5th and looked sharp doing it....Pac was taken out of his game from 1-12

            You keep trying to compare to Floyd but it don't work like that, Floyd has never let a guy dictate the pace or control the ring against him.

              So Floyd beat Maidana and Horn beat Pacquiao?

              Maidana fought the exact same style as Horn did and Floyd made excuses after the fight. He got the decision and still made excuses.

              Mayweather Jr. called welterweight rival Marcos Maidana “more like a WWE wrestler” than a boxer.

              Mayweather (46-0, 26 knockouts) also said that referee Tony Weeks was too lenient in controlling Maidana (35-4, 31 knockouts), who he claimed used dirty tactics in the fight.

              Floyd made the same excuses Manny made against Horn.

              You can't have It both ways.

                1st watch..scored 115-112 for Pac. . 2nd watch 116-111 Pacquiao. .

                Ward-Kovalev 1 was close and could go either way.. Pac-Horn. Not close.

                Competitive but clear ..anyone who has it the other way has an agenda.

                Boxnation was awful.. they had a bias towards the underdog and maybe like him subconsciously cause he's a white kid.

                  LoL. . Boxnation feed never once zeroed in on Pacs corner and multiple times went to Horn. They always talked about Horn.. and praised anything that he did.

                  I found it rather funny...they were clearly biased.

                    I'm in Canada.. so the Boxnation feed was distributed here as the Top Rank feed... Maybe Top Rank, Arum told them to focus more on Horn. It's rather suspect.

                      Only slightly though, and I can see how Horn's style may lead to many controversial decisions.
                      That's my biggest issue here, I can see people scoring it for both fighters. To call a close fight a "Robbery" is classless. Robbery is Lara v Paul Williams, or Martinez v Cintron, not that fight that I saw on Sunday morning. The moment the fight finished I knew they would score it for Horn because he was at home and in a close fight like that they would surely give it to him.

                      It was irresponsible to let Pacman go to Australia in the first place, he was the champ and had build his career in America. Am all for fighting in foreign countries but this fight selection by his promoter stinks from the get go.

                      I don't give a phuck what anyone says, this fight was NOT a robbery period. Even his promoter says the fight could have gone either way.
