Do you believe the Pacquiao - Bradley result was predetermined - POLL

Nope.

 

Nah. . I do think that pac went in with the advantage of being the "house fighter", and thus would get the nod in any close rounds, which he did. . . I thought it was just a regular "hometown" type decision - not a robbery at all, and one that you wouldn't have to stretch, and come up with incredulous theories to justify the win. . .

 

I believe atleast one of the judges was bought, the 116-112 scorecard. That was unfair on Pacquiao, as it obviously was on Marquez, helping draw more of the fans ire over the result. It was a close fight imo, could've gone either way

 

''it's just business'' Arum to JMM after the fight


they thought they had waited long enough, they thought they would kill jmm

****ing frauds

 

For ****'s sake, Vidic. That was the single most racist GILF pornography I have ever seen in my entire life. And that's saying something. For me. I watched all of it. And it was ALL offensive. :bart

 

There are no appropriate responses for me. . Becuase it's not when he necessarily "wants Pac to lose", or to win. . .

Arum only "fixes" fights when the financial benefits need to be secured. . For Pac/Marquez, it didn't matter enough who won, because he would have an even MORE LUCRATIVE REMATCH, and he would get the promoter's fee from both Marquez, and Pac cause Marquez still had a fight under him. . .

With Bradley, the fear was that Pacquiao was going to RETIRE. . AND/OR LEAVE HIM. . . Thusly, Arum needed to start thinking about the future. . . So in turn, a Bradley win, ESPECIALLY in a fashion like this, would STILL allow him to cash out with Pac (if Pac sticks around for a few more fights), AND he has his "long term" investment with all the attention he now needs for the future.


Also, Arum doesn't "overtly fix" the fights. . There are no sit downs in classy italian restaurants, or undercover meetings where briefcases are exchanged, and the plot is laid out. . It's simply a "subconscious 'MEETING OF THE MINDS'", if oyu will, between him and the judges. . . They know "what he wants.", and if they want to keep reaping all the perks, and getting to work high profile fights, then they'll do as he wants

Edit: oh, he's already here. Okay, I'll tell Anthony W instead.

 

He turns them down in person, but then he goes and watches them at home. I just don't understand it. :huh
