Hard to believe there are still idiots that will pay to watch a boxing pay per view. I would have paid one more time to see Manny vs Floyd before this, but now I have to sadly say I am done with boxing completely.
What the... Pacquiao lost??

Is it me or did Freddie Roach look and sound like an 80 yr. old man? Too many blows to the head.

Probably just trying to keep his cool and not be a sore looser. Class helps your case in a lot of situations.

I chuckled at this, though I shouldn't have. Just seems like it would be funny if it was a genuine question.

MOAR BRAIN DAMAGE!!
The state's athletic commission assigns the judges. The promotions: Top Rank, GBP, UFC, Strikeforce, or any other combat sport promotion have to apply to be able to fight in the state. After the fight is cleared, judges/referees are assigned. That is why fighters/promoters can appeal to the commission about the result of the fight. Though it is very rare that a decision is overturned, it did recently happen with Tarver/Hopkins I.
To add to the conspiracy theories, Teddy Atlas (ESPN) said it had to due to Bob Arum wanting to stiff Manny because he hasn't resigned with Top Rank.
My theory is that the judges were turned off with Manny delaying the fight, and trying to teach him that he's not above the sport.

They were perhaps annoyed that he delayed it, but I think that they wanted that so more viewers would tune in. Also, maybe they didn't like his whole new religion thing... Alot of people don't like religion and sports crossing over. That is a stretch though i'll admit.

No doubt boxing is crooked, there wasn't anyone in the country that watched that fight other then the paid judges at the fight who had Pac Man winning. Amazing!!

I can see this, but last night clearly showed that Bradley isn't a legit challenger.
It clearly shows that Boxing is a major scam!!

Oh, now I'm suppose to believe that Bradley is so damn good that he beat Manny with a broken ankle.. Seriously what a joke. This is becoming even more laughable.

Boxing was once a great spectator sport. And though there have always been isolated incidents of fixing and corruption, the "outcomes" have become SO widely suspect since the early days of Tyson that the sport is now entirely disreputable and consequently irrelevant.
Too bad because some of the best stories in sports lore are from the (once) sweet science.

However if THE Mega fight were to happen this year it would be in November. That leaves plenty of time for a training camp as many think Floyd will only be at Clark County for about 2/3 of his sentence and will get out early for good behavior.

As long as people keep paying for the PPV's, it really doesn't matter what goes on in the ring anymore. It's less a sport now than it is pure pugilistic entertainment. If some want to pay their money to watch two guys trade punches, that's their dollar.

No, I watched the fight..Pacquiao kicked his butt all 12 rounds, except maybe round 10? But... turned the channel before the results because I didn't need confirmation. IT WAS BORING. There is no judge who isn't on the take that would have said Bradley won this fight.. Boxing needs help.
