Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Horn Investigation: WBO Backs Scores, Explains Why

[Strategic1]

Why are the judges anonymous, if all is above board they should be named, its easy to say 5 phantoms said whatever.

Exactly.. Name the judges. Why hide their names. .. don't get it.

So almost 90% of boxing press scored it for Pac. Most viewers scored it for Pacquiao..

All the fellow pro boxers seemed to favor Pacquiao as well.

This is wrong. Screams corruption to me. Name the judges.

I'd advise Pacquiao ...to forget the rematch. .. be a free agent and fight the Broner/Mikey winner on CBS... or Danny Garcia in Vegas.

These fights would pull huge numbers. Only question is if Pac can lower his ego and accept a $4 million to $6 million purse?

Make it the last fight in the US. Then he can have 1 last fight in the Philippines.

Swing rounds should have went to the champion.

Pacquiao-Horn Investigation: WBO Backs Scores, Explains Why:

Arum paid everybody off.

The End.

it's usually a little more nuanced than that. judges get the appointment from the sanctioning body knowing what's expected of them. don't need to necessarily pay anybody off. arum is the WBO's biggest customer. it's a symbiotic relationship. there's really no need for literal bribery or anything like that.

So I guess this is a sad day for Pac fans....ya'll just keep taking L's

This is suspect. Top Rank and the WBO are tied together and they are corrupt.

BOYCOTT the WBO

nobody should have ever considered the WBO a world title to begin with.

I know I can be crucified for posting this, but I've always been a very honest guy, and I feel a duty with the community even thou they might crush me.

I had not made any comment on this thing but I'll leave this and this will be the first and last post I put on this Pacquiao vs Horn controversy; I thought the fight was very close I had it 115-113 in favor of Horn with 3 Swing Rounds.

well, they are not the official judges

they are WBO employee's performing an internal review

but yea, it would help with transparency

I agree, Pacquiao won but didn't look that good doing It. He needs to retire or step up his game for the rematch. Horn will bring the exact same game plan and Pacquiao will most likely be better prepared for It.

What Impressed me most about Horn was his heart and chin. The guy can take a hell of a shot and has the ability to recover rather quickly.

reminds me of Hattons gameplan against Tszyu..
goes to show you how much these legends have left in the tank during those fights. pac 2010 would have decapitated this version of horn.

How dare you! Bringing those facts in the middle of so many Pacquiao haters. Let them live this moment of joy.

lol, I hear you. There are many respected names on that list yet because they have been following Floyd's career for the past 5 years they are somehow more qualified to score the fight than someone like Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacquiao's biggest rival.
