It's official, Top Rank is the WWE of boxing, last night we saw a fight booked with a pre-determined outcome. Stop feeling pity for Pac, the little mercenary was in on it, same as Bradley and Arum's bribed judges. It's not a coincidence that Pac, after dominating and stunning Bradley repeatedly for the first half of the match, for no reason stopped doing **** for the second half allowing Bradley to accumulate rounds, not a coincidence that his corner didn't look surprised, not a coincidence that he didn't make any excuses for his ¨loss¨this time (completely atypical of Pac) and said they would settle in november. Manny did his part to throw the fight convincingly but Bradley still couldn't deliver and that's why everybody is crying out ¨robbery!!!¨. Bradley is a bad fighter and even worse actor. Nobody robbed Pac, the only robbed people here was the fans who paid for this glorified sparring match. If you think about it everybody wins with this robbery Tim: he gets a lot $$$, exposure and Pac's spot as Arum's new cash cow after Pac retires in the near future. Meanwhile Pac and Timmy will fill their pockets with the rematch and possibly trilogy Arum: he'll be able to avoid the fight with Mayweather once and for all, and pass the torch to his new young cash cow because we all know Manny is on his way out. Ofc, he'll also fill his greedy pockets with the trilogy Boxing: Pac's ¨loss¨ also draws a lot of attention to boxing. The top draw is in prison so there's no more Pac-Floyd drama, so they need to think outside the box to get attention. If Pac won the fight no one would really care, everyone expected it, but with this move Arum has pissed everyone off and people will be more interested in the next Pac fight. What better way to get attention than with a heel move like this? Lots of people are talking about boxing now, about corruption, about poor Manny robbed. Controversy is good publicity. Pac the Mercenary: he is now free to cash out with a trilogy against the overmatched Timmy while avoiding dangerous things like Floyd and Marquez, the world knows he was ¨robbed¨ so all Pac needs to do is to win the subsequent Bradley fights convincingly (something he can perfectly do, going by what we saw)and he'll be able to retire with a couple more ¨W¨ and his rep intact. You people need to stop being so gullible and realize that rematch posters like this shouldn't exist before the first match has even taken place. This content is protected
it was fixed. im not the one to say fights were fixed but sumthing is fishy. arum new this was all going to happening, i dont really no reason why though. i never thought to bad of arum but no i know for sure he scheming sumthing here but i dont really no wut but this **** was wrigged for sure
I completely agree with you and I made a thread saying so earlier. It's not even debatable in my mind. The sport is rotten to the core under Top Rank. Not sure bradley was necessarily privy to the fix tho. I might just only watch Goldenboy **** from now on. Anything top rank is not to be trusted
I wonder who gave Tim the idea of presenting a November rematch fight poster and enlarged ticket at the pre fight press conferences? I wonder who actually arranged to have those things made?
