Question Fair Fight?

I have to admit, I didn't see Pacquiao's fight in Vegas this time. He lost the fight and naturally, millions of Filipinos don't agree with the judges. Did he really loose fairly or is there dirty work afoot? You decide...

come on, now the rematch will be worth more. If Pacman won then nobody would want a rematch. It's all about money. Pacman will make twice as much on the second fight. The only true way to have a winner is to have them fight until one of them drops. All the TV news and papers are so biased in the Philippines so we won't hear the end of it. In the meantime pacman will plan, prepare and dream of the big money he is going to make on the next fight. The stations won't accept it when the judges vote against the Filipino but all have to accept it when it is a vote for the Filipino. I blame all the hype on the news in this country. They never show both sides and then only want to rile the people. Its disturbing to hear so much about Sanchez. She lost TWICE on American Idol! They brought her back because the show would have lost the Mexican and Filipino viewers. She is supposedly of Mexican and Filipino descent American. When will the young Filipina women singers learn that nobody wants a Filipina who sounds like a black gospel singer. Sing normal and create your own sound and name. There are thousands here in the Philippines and the USA and they all try to sound like black gospel singers. There are too many great gospel singers in the world, they don't need an imitation.

I watched it and every news story I've read have the authors scratching their head at the decision of the judges. Everyone here pretty much says the same thing... Pac-man was robbed.

To say the least, this fight (decision) was rigged. Follow the money, baby.

Edit: Yes, the fight was very fair. The decision was not.

Pacquiao got robbed...How the judges gave 115/113 split decision to Bradley is beyond me,Even the first judge that gave 115/113 to Pacquiao is questionable.

No way Bradley won 7 rounds,I give Bradley 2 rounds 3 to be generous,I scored it 117/111 for Pacquiao...

Bob Arum is all behind the loss,He don't want Pacquiao to retire yet,he wants to make as much money from Pacquiao before he quits...Also he is preparing Bradley to be his next cash cow.

Arum after fight,rematch will make me so much money,Not we, not Top Rank but Arum, Shady or what..

Pacquiao will earn more from a rematch and he will win that rematch,then there will be a 3rd fight to settle it once and for all...

Boxing is a business and promoters like Arum don't care for theit boxers just the $$$$$.

The punch count landed says a lot. Manny landed something like 190 while Bradley landed like 108 from a stat I saw. Also don't ne so sure of the rematch...we all know Mayweather is afraid to fight Pacman, his worst nightmare is hard hitting southpaw. But "Mayfeather" would fight Bradley and create a monster payday belt unification type bout. Be interesting to see what happens...Mayweather out of jail end of summer...hmmm....New Yrs fight?

Maybe Pacman should try American Idol. I hear that he likes to sing. But wait! isn't he supposed to be working already in congress? I do agree about Jessica trying too hard. So did Joshua. Idol is political. And to tell the truth, I really don't care much about who ultimately wins the boxing crown, any more. All of them leave a lot to be desired. Arum is a business man just like Don King. Let's put the belt up for grabs. Last man standing. And the pot should belong to the victor, at least the lion's share. Radical, huh?
