Two Top Rank fighters, why would Arum let Pacman destroy Bradley? Why not make them fight a competitive fight, and profit off the rematch in November? We knew Mayweather would not be available in November, so Manny Pacquiao took a dive, and will gain his P4P status back in November.. Meanwhile, Top Rank is profiting BIG TIME. And what the hell was that in the last 4 rounds? Bradley didn't land, did not comeback into the fight, and Pacman let off the gas.. Then post fight.. Pacman takes the robbery on the chin, and is completely emotionless. His whole corner, completely emotionless. Then Max asks Pacman about the fight, to which Pac replies "We can fight in November" (Top Rank PPV). I've seen enough Pro Wrestling to know when something is scripted.. All that **** backstage, the commentators feeding you **** about Pac's focus, Pacman taking those last 4 rounds.. I'm ****ing done with Boxing, what you saw tonight was a glorified exhibition.. A sparring session.
If I were PACQUIAO i leave top rank and promote on his own... Lets see what happen to Bob.. This is outrageous! PAC peppered Bradley w/ power shot! how come??? not even a close fight!
Pacman was in on it.. He's a Top Rank fighter, and Mayweather wasn't going to be available this November. Pacman took a dive, and threw away the fight in the last 4 rounds.. The judges.. Scoring the last 8 of 9 rounds to Bradley, were that insurance of a controversial decision. I will never watch another Top Rank card again.. I won't ever watch Pacman fight again, unless it's against Mayweather. Promoters will say anything.. I'm not blind.
everything you guys said and then some. whole thing was bull****. they figured, two fights with bradley, and they'll make a boat load of cash. arum is a fat piece of ****, and pac is just as bad for being his loyal follower.
I called it ahead of time, but no one believed it was possible: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=407916 (I gotta' enjoy this while I can! )
Yeah, it seems that way. It's an awful decision any way you slice it I think but what pisses me off is how casual Pac was in those final rounds. He was starting to bust Bradley up in the middle of the rounds and instead just takes his foot off the gas. Was he really gassed? It's possible, Pac is certainly declining and aging. His legs look nearly gone. At the same time, it seemed rather odd that Pac just sort of became so inactive out of no where. He didn't step on this guys neck, he treated it like a sparing match. His hunger is gone... fix or not.
Do any of you still rely on judges to find out who won? Why doesn't every one score it themselves as well??? There's posters saying, "it's all up to the judges decision", hu? after seeing clear robberies, after robberies in the ring, how can any True Boxing fan rely on the judgesatsch ... and for those who think, this(what ts wrote) would never happen, just don't know how corrupt the world can be.
I honestly didn't watch the fight, but I have to agree with you on his lack of desire in his last few bouts. Older Pacquiao wouldn't have coasted in the last round against Margarito even. With all that said, is it possible Pacquiao pulled a De La Hoya and stopped fighting because he thought he had the fight won? Which is a careless strategy IMO but some guys use it regardless. I agree to a certain extent. There are some losses that I don't even acknowledge, similar to how no matter how much I argue with someone it won't change the fact that they saw JMM "whoop" Pacquiao in the third fight ( I had it a draw) but on the other hand it is nice to have an official decison, it's kind of like the tie breaker in a debate that's going nowhere You just end it with "oh yeah, well he has a W on his record, deal with it." :tong
