    I know there is a lot of outrage surrounding the JMM/Pacquaio fight last night. I had Juan Manuel winning 8-4 but I knew that there was no way he was going to get the decision. Considering the amount of money that was as stake with a possible Mayweather fight, there was no way in hell that Marquez was going to walk away with a decision of any kind. My question to ESB is whether or not this whack decision can be attributed to incompetence or corruption?

    Edit: Poll now up

    I haven't seen it, but reading comments it seems like a close fight that could have gone either way since there are a lot of rounds that could go either way. For what it's worth (not much) I've read that Max Kellerman and Dan Rafael scored it a draw and Harold Lederman scored it 8-4 for Pac. These guys might be incompetent but certainly not corrupt. Bob Papa also had it a draw. Kieran Mulvaney of ESPN had it a win for Pacquiao. Once again not saying they are right, but they are not corrupt. Kevin Iole also had it a draw.

    At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy nut, these are individuals who work for companies that stand to make a good amount of money off of a Mayweather/Pacquiao fight.

    I don't know about the judges. One thing is clear though, hbo did not want Marquez to win. They were soo ****ing biased, its just incredible. I lost soo much respect for that network. Good thing I canceled my subscription last month.

    There was literally rounds where Marquez would totally dominate and these ****ers would ignore it and go on to talk about other bull****. ****, I'm soo pissed. I think HBO was successful in swaying some fans into thinking Pacquia won.

    **** HBO!

    So all three judges, Kevin Iole, Dan Rafael, Bob Papa, Kieren Mulvaney, Max Kellerman, and Harold Lederman are all potentially corrupt?

    Every fighter that watched the fight said Marquez won, just look at the names that feel Marquez won, and they for sure know better than these corrupt judges!!

    I think only the judges can be classified as corrupt since they were the only one's with the authority to give the fight to Pacquiao. The others I would classify more as company prostitutes.
