What was behind the Pacquiao - Bradley decision?

Judges were pissed Pacquiao made them wait for NBA game.
Arum wants to keep an undefeated fighter in his stable, Bradley is ripped as **** and was the perfect candidate.
Judges honestly thought Bradley won, I had Pac winning 7-5 but it was way closer than HBO tried to make it.

I think it could honestly be any of those.. We jump to cheating immediately because of our great sports reputation, but the judges may have honestly felt Bradley won..

 

I legit lol'ed at the last option

It could have been an honest mistake, I myself scored it a draw the first time I watched it but to be fair I was biased a lil for Bradley. I watched it at home the next day and had it 7-5 Pac

Judges possibly could have been swayed at the outrage over the JMM decision and thus scrutinized Pac's performance more, so w/e he's 1-1 in his last 2

 

I vote for it was a very close fight scored over 12 rounds, not outraged if either got the nod.

 

My guess would be Arum fixed the fight. Either to set up a rematch which has backfired or to cash out on Manny and make Tim his new cash cow which has also backfired.

 

But then I guess if it was Arum he would have defended the decision but he went HAM on the judges. It didn't really make sense to me at the time and it still doesn't now. Maybe it was poor judging.

 

incompetent judging. one judge even admitted that he was basing it off with a younger version of pac where he could have finished timmy off. since when does comparing a boxer to his younger self became a criteria for judging?

 

The fact that being a American in the US outweighs being a ATG when it comes to judging.

I predected this before the fight and got ridiculed for it.

 

Bradley won. Deal with it.

 

Hmmm yeah I guess, it just boggles my brain.

I mean Rios vs Abril was a worse decision but I don't hear Bob going crazy about that?

 

Bad judging. I mean, some of you have notived that bad judging is NOT something new here?

 

It was a close fight that could have gone either way. Personaly had it 7-5 for Pacquiao.

 

Fight was fixed by Arum just like JMM vs Pac 3:good
