The general consensus on why Pacquiao was robbed

[Mukuro]

Arum set him up with Marquez 4, and he did it again against Horn. Pac is Arum's monkey.

Correct.



Yes, Horn won. The denial on this forum is pitiful.

The narrative that only this forum and casual fans who listened to Teddy Atlas are the only ones that think that Pacquiao won is laughable

Have you seen the rest of people actually IN the sport, who see the fight from a different perspective than you or I, and won't be swayed by a damn commentator, who scored the fight for Pacquiao?

You're right. There are many people who thought Pac should have got the decision. Personally, I believe that Horn won. I want to watch that fight again when I have time to see how it looks now. I watched it twice so far but who knows, maybe I need to see it a third time because it was a close fight.

First of all, they are many reasons why Pacquiao could have been robbed in Australia but there is one that makes the most sense. First of all we can all agree that Pacquiao is way past his prime at this point. Me personally, I wish he just retires and stop fighting all together.

The main reason why he was robbed was because of Bob Arum. The reason why was because Manny Pacquiao's people were making it very difficult to make a Terrance Crawford/Pacquiao fight because his people knew that fight would be extremely difficult for Manny at this point. They would rather get fights they knew they would win and collect a check. Now at this point Bob has no incentive to let this go on at this point and from a business stand point why would he?

We all know that Bob is searching for his next PPV star to milk and Terrance Crawford is his main candidate but we all know you need the right platform and that would have been a Manny Pacquiao PPV to launch Crawford into stardom. Since the fight looked like it wasn't going to get made, how can Bob milk this another way?

How about robbing Pacquiao vs joe shmoe and let Terrance Crawford fight him? Bob recently stated his interested in a fight between horn and crawford so this make sense. Do you believe as well this was the main reason why Pacquiao was robbed that night?

Pac got robbed because Freddie didn't let him out the cage
