what about this conspiracy theory...

floyd's the one arum will need to do business with once floyd hangs em up, not manny. how much was floyd's cut for the cotto fight? 32 mill pre ppv, over 50 mill after. floyd will be huge in boxing after he retires as promoter. meanwhile, manny will go back to philippines and not contribute at all to american boxing coffers. so arum needs to keep floyd perceived on top so his brand remains at a height all the way until he retires. a fight with pacman, especially at this stage now that floyd has slown down, will screw up this business plan.

just like floyd said after the cotto fight: "the fight with pacquiao will never happen."

your thought process is broken

what's the bigger story? this fight or heat/celtics?

LoL at the boxing being more rigged than an nba game 7

lol I'm going to start watching again because of this, my neighbors are Filipino gonna go ask them who won the fight.

oh i was worried the headline wouldn't be funny

From ESPN:

	Pacquiao	Bradley
Landed	190	109
Thrown	493	390
Pct	38.5	27.7

* Pacquiao +82 in power punches landed

i'll give them credit, they've now made this interesting to the general public

not possible. dude fixes games.

as for the decision, it was fixed for the exact same reason stern does it. straight cash. they didn't even sell out the fight, bradley is charismatic and he fought well (but lost), so they're drumming up hype for the sequel. imo manny will go along, for the same reason.

this

^^lol

lolboxing tho .

does this fight even crack the top-10 for most rigged fights in boxing's history?

MMA>Boxing

Yes

Live betting lines after round 12/Before decision:

LITERALLY THE WORST SPORT EVER

I don't get it. you know this happens in the nba. you know it. yet none of the mainstream media talk about it. what's the big deal?

it's just business.

"Man, I thought Ultimate Robot Fighting was real, like pro wrestling, but it turns out it's fixed, like boxing."

Yeah who leads off with game 7 of a relevant sport

but this is an entirely self-serving tweet. you know he's not actually upset at all.

Dana White is a boxing fan believe it or not, and it doesn't take a brilliant man to realize that the UFC is at a point where 1 body controls the action, which was what was boxing 60 years ago.

White is being honest there I think.

"Can you believe that?" promoter Bob Arum said. "I had it 10-2! After I got into the ring after the fight, I went over to Bradley and said 'You did very well.' He said, 'I tried hard, but I couldn't beat the guy.'[/B] This is crazy. You talk about killing boxing? All three scorecards you throw out."
Yahoo! Sports scored it 117-111 for Pacquiao, the same margin as Tim Dahlberg of the Associated Press and Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Dan Rafael of ESPN had it 118-110 for Pacquiao. HBO's Harold Lederman had it 119-109, or 11 rounds to one, for Pacquiao.
"This is a death knell for boxing, and I'm going to make a ton of money on the rematch," Arum said.

Also there is usually a problem with footage this early after a PPV fight, right? But, I didn't see it, did they have any? Not a big deal for ESPN to go w/game 7 first, imo.
