IS it true that the fight won't start until after the Game 7?
I'm worried about missing it.

How long is Pacquiao going to make everyone wait :nonono:

What a douche. I have to go to bed. **** this.

I feel bad for Bradley. He obviously was just interviewed and discounted this, but there are hormones, energy, emotions, etc. that are all being taxed as he has to wait for this douche. If he admitted Pac's behavior is unprofessional, it would only exacerbate his own emotions, so he's sort of suppressing the thought. But it is really unfair to him.

Pac's taking the Celtics loss hard, probably bet too much money on the game.

Will probably take another 10-15 minutes to get the gloves on and other last minute prep, followed by another 10 minutes to come out to the ring...

I hate boxing...

Bradley got dominated and was going to get KO'ed various times, but gets the SD, Marquez just schooled Manny and gets the shaft...

It is beyond me....

I hate this sport that I love..

MMA judges are notoriously bad, but DAMN... that was some next level BS.

LoL....did we miss the moment when someone ran in and knocked the referees with a steel chair and "guest" referees took their place?

Butch718 · Post #491 » by **Butch718** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 6:57 am

Makes you wonder though. Bradley was already talking about a rematch a week before the fight. On top of that he was way over the top with his confidence. I guess he knew the fix was in. Arum gave him the green light. "Survive the fight and I'll take care of everything from there."

Butch718 · Post #492 » by **Butch718** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 7:16 am

WHOA... So according to Teddy Atlas, he's reporting that Arum fixed the fight because Pacquiao was thinking of leaving Top Rank. Not sure if this is just speculation on his part or something he heard through the grapevine. It certainly makes sense. Arum is a vindictive prick that puts personal issues ahead of business.

Looks like Pacquiao got his first real lesson in politics.

HasheemThabeet · Post #493 » by **HasheemThabeet** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 7:21 am

Pac got the goods of politics with the JMM fights.
Also, I know this kind of out there right now but I saw Subway man Mike Lee on FNF and man does that guy suck. Whoever got him that Subway sponsorship should be the most sought after manager in all of sports

At least those fights were close and competitive.

This fight wasn't even close. Bradley has heart and a good chin, I'll give him that. That being said Bradley couldn't hurt Pacquiao. Even though Pacquiao took his foot of the gas pedal the last couple of rounds, he dictated the pace, while landing the cleaner and more effective shots. I just watched the fight again with the sound off to see if I was being misled by HBO's commentary. Nope. Fight still wasn't close. I had Bradley winning 3 rounds at most. Pac won the rest.

Seriously, even my friends who are Mayweather fans were upset at tonight's decision. Funny thing is Harold Ledderman commented on how incompetent those two judges before the fight began, and said how they shouldn't have been anywhere near this fight.

Bradley like so many of Pacquiao's opponents tasted his power and began backing up. This is one reason why I respect Mexican boxers a lot, especially Marquez. For all those knockdowns Pacquiao gave Marquez, he kept right on going at him.

This fight, however, wasn't even close. Pacquiao's sportsmanship is amazing, but unlike those Marquez fights, this should've been an easy 10-2, 11-1 type fight (I believe you would have to honestly push yourself to give Bradley 3 rounds). It's as if the judges were watching an entirely different fight. Evn the judge that scored Pacquiao winning...7-5? Really? Thank goodness I watched this fight at a friend's house.

Blame Rasho · Post #496 » by **Blame Rasho** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:07 am

Yeah... that 5th round was a clear Bradley round...

That was certainly weird. Ledderman was basically putting the program on blast for having incompetent judges for such a high profile fight. Makes you wonder...

Blame Rasho · Post #498 » by **Blame Rasho** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:44 pm

I rewatched the fight... 117-111 for Manny. i saw the Mexican Televisa feed and the Primetime feed, and I am pending the HBO feed.

I really dont know how you can justify giving Bradley 7 or 6 rounds.

Yup. He basically ripped those two judges before the fight began and it turns out that he was right.

Sorry but last night has nothing to do with gross incompetence, because I refuse to believe that anyone could be that incompetent. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but the fight was fixed from the start. It's corruption plain and simple. This is no longer a sport, it's rigged entertainment WWE style. Arum out-Vince McMahon'ed, Vince McMahon.

He was saying how the female judge would be easily swayed by the fans reactions; the opposite thing happened, and I think the third judge was one of the judges that scored it for Rios over Abril, fu*ckin disgraceful

**just checked, the third judge had it for Pacquiao
