No doubt Pacquiao was robbed, but WHY?

Oh snap...you care about boxing outside of Edison Miranda?

 

i was thinking maybe because of their last fight. maybe the heat got to them, so, lets rob manny and we can do a rematch and make money anyway.

 

Could be because people sayin Pac's contract is near its end, Arum coulda said 'sign me with for the rest of your career and ill give you a rematch' lol

 

Money is a powerful thing.

 

That has crossed my mind.

 

Simple answer. M-M-A!!!

Honourable contributions, the WBA, WBC, IBF and WB-whatevers and WB-wannabe leftover belts alphabet soup.

Boxing needed to cook-up some controversy within its cauldron of bad judges to keep up with the industry that is Dana White and Co. Herschel Walker is nearly bigger than boxing for pete sakes peoples! This sport needs attention, especially with Don King not being as loud as he once was and Hopkins' act getting old. Even Delahoya and Golden Boy promotions can't seem to make enough noise in boxing these days. The Mayweather family is still making the most hot air though.

Aside from the fact that the Marquez and Morales fans have been screaming for justice against Manny, nothing surprised me here. After the Forrest vs Quartey debacle, my mind was made up about boxing and judging. The sport needs a Tyson in almost every division to take the fights out of the judges hands. A little bit more serious competitive fights on a more frequent basis wouldn't hurt either.

The sports arguable best fighter, Pacquiao subliminally passes the torches to Bradley with this loss in a dog's age only to make more money in the rematch and retire. He needs more money to solidify his political aspirations, so maybe he was willing to sacrifice a loss to have the opportunity to put another good whupping on Bradley. That is, pending the judges let him actually beat Bradley on the scorecards the next time in order to avoid making a potential FOTC III with Mayweather a geriatric boxing contest.

I ain't waiting for it to happen. I'm hoping that the Klitschkos retire to the MMA, bring back some of their kickboxing skills and frustrate Dana White for 10 or more years in their 50's monopolizing the MMA heavyweight titles while not fighting each other. If a 50 year old Ray Mercer can make a solid dent in the MMA coming from a boxing background, the Klitschkos could surely do the same. Nothing would please me more than to see Wlad and Vitali hog the belts and the MMA ratings.

 

Arum may be cashing out on Manny to get another star in Bradley ( Even though NOBODY was that impressed ), but he wants decision reviewed and changed. Idk, It's ****ed up, Maybe someone had a big bet on Bradley...

Still this is killing boxing, what a disgrace!

 

HERE IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION PANTERA:

Arum said that “if Manny wants a rematch then that’s what we’ll do. We have the right to affect a rematch. It's going to be his call.”

However made it clear that while Pacquiao will be the draw “you have to compensate for the extra money that Bradley will get. In others words Manny will get far more money than Bradley but he’ll have to absorb the extra money we pay Bradley.”


SO WAS IT ALL ALONG BOB???? MANNY GETS A LOWER PURSE NEXT TIME AROUND AND YOU POCKET IT???

WHY NOT?US is the land of opportunities

 

This has Arum's blood all over it. It was the only way for Arum to duck Mayweather again. It also was Arum's.way of lowering Mayweathers legacy cause he knew Floyd would destroy Pacquiao. Now that Pac has been beaten by timmy it lessens a floyd victory over pac. See arum was never gonna let a floyd pac fight happen under his watch. He knows the fight will happen once manny leaves him so why not damage the hype of the fight in advance.

 

Maybe they want to make Bradley a star. The thing is Bradley didn't look like a star in there.

A Pacquiao loss, doesn't hurt his legacy, but a Bradley win could push him to the mainstream.

I agree, though. If you're going to fix a fight this definitely isn't the way of going about it.

 

WOW Pantera2000 is still alive!
