Pac-Bradley, why do people think the fight was fixed?

I had Pacquiao winning what I thought was a close but clear victory. However, how could this be a fixed fight. Arum could not make Bradley a cash cow. I think this is simply a case where the judges disagreed with the fans.

    How the fk he know they were "gonna make history" when Timmy's been getting his a$$ kicked all night

    Arum hugging Bradley happy as a muhfuca with a big smile on his face when his man Pacquiao gets the loss? Cmon son....And when he supposedly scored it 10-2 to Pacquiao too

    Bob Arum gets his rematch and possibly rubber match....with all the proceeds going to Top Rank....I hate that fkker

  • Because most buy the same bull crap from the other end of the spectrum. You see how many people in this forum actually believe Manny & Floyd actually net $25-40 mil per fight and have total net earnings into the $300-600 mil range despite the fact that if either guy made that much they would have retired long ago. Fans are simply FANATICS and when their tunnel vision beliefs aren't properly stroked they feel the system is "fixed" despite all reality.

    This whole notion of Bradley being the driver of a rematch or acceptor of the Top Rank torch is simply absurd. Manny could literally fight anyone and his demand figures simply wouldn't change, so why would Arum waste time with a guy that couldn't punch his way through a wet paper bag, constantly leaves his chin exposed and throws wide punches? To me that spells Bradley getting KTFO at 147 once he fights a talented fighter not looking for an easy night.

    Edit- I am no different. It just so happens I was attracted to the sport by promoters so I tend not to have any emotional involvement with the sports athletes.

    The outcome of this match also had to do with Pacquiao's "future" fight with Mayweather. The judges and probably even the company knew that Mayweather won't fight Pacquiao, and it's also been noted that he is afraid of Pacquiao. So people are actually thinking that there won't even be a fight. If Pacquiao won the Pac-Bradley match, he would probably take a break from fighting and think about retirement. So with Pacman gone, no money. The revenge Pac-Bradley match is meant to be a huge seller because many people would be dying to see Pacman take revenge. So this is just another scam for boxing to get more views and money.

    And for the record, Bradley did not break his effing leg! The fukker sprained his ankle and it was all shown in slow motion.

    Arum couldn't make Bradley a cash cow but think logically. If Pac wins, who will he fight in Nov? Mayweather? Forget about it. Pac has no opponent for a November fight. A rematch is perfect. A simple risk free fight. Why do you think they signed the clause? It's a case of Arum's careful machination.

    Actually Arum just made Bradley a cash cow with this controversial decision. Had Bradley lost, there won't be any rematch. Now that he was made the winner, Arum will make a ton of money on the rematch.

    Because Bradley clearly was getting his *** whooped all night. Except maybe 2 rounds. The decision was total bullshit. Even the one who sided pac 115-113. Should be more like 118. I'm pissed off. If Bradley doesn't come out and say I think Pac won the fight, then I dislike him and so will even more people. Be real, you got your *** kicked. Even his own corner knew it.

    First off, the main protagonists, especially Manny, did not look their usual selves, They lacked fire, They seemed to lack the energy and the enthusiasm---the fiery determination both are noted for. They were virtually pawing against each other if they were not missing with their supposedly ill-intentioned swings.

    How can the judges have the gall to do it if they were not part of the fix as the fighters I suspect also were main actors to?
