    Even after Rios-Abril and Pacquiao-Marquez I have continued to watch events promoted by Top Rank, however this has to be the last straw

    Bob Arum is the most corrupt persona in the boxing industry and is only interested in how he can personally gain despite any morals or even the safety of his own fighters

    I for one have had enough, I will not watch anything that this ageing relic spits out

    that's the best and only way any positive change can happen: don't buy any PPV anymore
    I don't understand why people keep shelling out USD50 for a fight that will be available for free on the internet minutes after the final bell
     
  3. I'l never buy a ppv again

    Pacquiao fans especially have just been gullible feeding all the swill that Arum has given them thats why, but this is just too much now

    I havent heard what Arum and Roach have had to say about this, no wonder why Ariza wasnt allowed on stage at the weigh in

    I think we should all write an open letter to top rank and hbo and tell them to clean up the sport or or we go to UFC. This is ****ed. We should all sign it and get as many people to sign . Boxing is killing itself- the people that work boxing are killing it , and the fighters are helpless . I hate this sport so much right now. I've spent so much time and money, I dragged 10 friends to buy a ppv who don't follow it, but told them this manny Pac will convince u how good boxing should be- they left saying the is a **** sport. I love boxing but also disillusioned now. When I watched it I had it 7/5 for PAC, after watching it twice with the sound off - I had it 9/3. Bradley's rounds were ineffective and he was being backed up all thru the middle to late rounds and hitting nothing but arms. His best shots weren't even clean- his highlights of the fights showing his best shots were nothing next to pacs worst shots. Only a few soft jabs here and there. If there's money and a Jew u can be sure someone's being gypped and it was us a once again. Now we all buy the rematch and arum makes money, builds up his next ppv star, prolongs may weather, keeps it all in house . Seriously ifw PAC won, arum loses his options for the next 2 years . Now he can set up all types of fights with Bradley having this on his cv. And he has al the leverage in the world, now he can claim two top ppv guys, having lost cotto and not having a domestic star . It makes great business sense, makings sequel .

    Bradley's manager thought he lost and even Bradley thought he lost after the fight. He was the most surprised person In the I arena

    Bradley knew what the result was going to be, he already had a rematch signed

    If you really want to send a message then don't watch top rank fights. That is what will make a difference. I'm not a hardcore Pac fan but with this fight, the Rios v Abril, and the fact that TR will onky fight inhouse, I am really boycotting. Many will say they are but will go on to buy the next ppv.

    Well its about time things did change

    Arum is even trying to play stupid "oh this decision was terrible" "bradley told me that he couldnt beat pac before the result" . . . .then comes out and says "but im gonna make a lot of money on the rematch!"

    How can he be surprised with the result? he hired the judges! the same ones that have been involved in robberies before on toprank cards

    Ive had enough, thats it for me

    as one we can continue to recognise Manny as champ, which is the basic reality of it.
