Brian Kenny was the man when he was dissing floyd, now according to *******s his opinion don't mean ****. LMAO
I started a thread the other day about how crooked Brian Kenny is, how he was being paid under the table by Top Rank when he worked for ESPN. One of the things he pulled off under ESPN, is criticise Mayweather for not fighting Baldomir, Hatton and Mosley; then when he did, failed to honour him with props. This is another example of Arum pushing his buttons.
Brian Kenny is definitely a tool. His commentary is another piece of anecdotal evidence to prove this was a WWE type scripting. I was baffled when I heard him wailing on about how this was such a close fight as the fight neared its conclusion but all the pieces are now coming together.
You mean Brain Kenny who just signed to work for top Rank Promotions? That Brain Kenny? That man got a nice bonus from MR Arum
He did that all through the fight, after every round would stress to make the case for how Bradley could have won the round, even after some of the rounds Pacquiao clearly won and hurt Bradley in. Kenny's commentary to me is the most damning evidence implicating TR in all of this, whether it was to make money from the betting, or to make Bradley a star. The guy wasn't even calling the action most of the time too busy in talking up Bradley. That score was ridiculous, seems every round he said Bradley could have won he gave to him.
:think hmmm...now that you bring up betting money...there is a lot more money to be made from betting on bradley, rather than from promotions...I guess. Especially if the fight wasn't tracking well to begin with. The only way I could see this working is if Pacquiao was in on it too? But I don't know, it seems awfully far fetched. Maybe the judges actually saw Bradley winning, that seems to make more sense than a scheme involving paying off judges and Pacquiao to place a large bet on Bradley. How would he collect? Maybe the mob was involved and placed the bets...There is so much to speculate... I thought Bob had something to do with this, but now it doesn't make sense.
he is the ulitmate floyd hater besides skip bayless. i had the same scores though but pacman winning the fight.
Pacquiao wouldn't necessarily have to be involved. Arum knows the fight game and would have had known Bradley stood a good chance at going 12 and possibly believed it was going to be close. I've heard someone claim Pacquiao could have backed off from knocking Bradley out as a favor to Arum, not knowing he'd get screwed. Arum could have put the money up himself and offered the bet placers a % of the winnings, who obviously would be people he trusted with his life. Collecting the money and accounting for it would be the most difficult part. Gambling winnings are taxable in the US I believe, so winners would not be anonymous I don't think. What about illegal gambling and betting outside the US?.. Arum has friends in Mexico too, and across the world, and would know a few shady characters being around boxing so long. Can't discount the mob or drug cartels being involved, Arum could've been threatened to assure Bradley was the winner, just as the judges may have been. His son died mysteriously not long ago. Anything is possible, as far-fetched as it goes, being the sport of boxing
