I think the higher ups definitely had their hands in this.

But the solution starts with stop supporting PPVs.

Is that enough?

It looks SO BAD when it's not even close at all and they give the other guy the decision like that.

Damn, at least if it was somewhat close and they fixed it, it wouldn't be as much as an embarrassment.

It's like they're insulting everyone's intelligence that's lucky enough to have properly working eyeballs.

Probably not phenom, but it's a start.

Watching ESPN... they're saying most people who watched the fight feel that Pacquiao won.Since
Pac has a huge fan base,losing to Bradley shouldn't hurt him and Mayweather's match up....that is if it ever was to happen.

If this was a fix HBO didn't make it any better selling manny as the winner for a full hour prior to the decision. Winning every round but possibly 1 and outclassing his opponent.

Just makes it even more ridiculous.

Pac has a gigantic fan base. Pac did not lose this fight in anyone's eyes.

Again, this is all a ploy by Bob Arum to cash out, one more time, on Manny Pacquiao. That's all there is to it and nothing more. Bob Arum gets his new superstar in Bradley who he can market as holding a "win" over Pacman when Pacman leaves.

I know there probably isn't an answer to the question. Its more to just stir ideas on how to respond to this. Ironically a part of me thinks this is what boxing wants.... controversy and they don't care how it is created.
