Was this his last fight under Arum? You are right about Arum pocketing about 40% of his dough.
HE'S TR0LLING. D0N'T FEED HIM.
No, I just saw the last 2 rounds, which Bradley won.
Actually, I'm not trolling. I'm assuming the fight was close going into the 11th and 12th. I only listen to Emmanuel Steward. Those other two are one-sided trolls. Listing to Steward, I thought it could go either way. I'd have to watch rounds 1-10. Thanks.
watch the fight without hearing jim lampley blow paquiao the entire fighthe did the same thing in the last marquez fight.. which i thought pac shoulda lost
not sure but it's pretty obvious Arum wanted this to end on his terms. I'm sure some things will surface in the next few weeks.
If he is going the Mayweather route with Arum, it's obvious Arum would burn him going out the door.
I had it ten rounds to two for Pacquiao. Manny was the aggressor, higher punch %, and controlled the ring generalship. He shouldn't have pulled that non-sense keeping the World waiting at the beginning of the fight. It co$t him big time. At the end of the day though, compubox numbers are compubox numbers.
It's amazing to me that fight-fixing still goes on, with today's heightened media awareness nad technology, and all of the investigations and whatnot, it's a different world. Goes to show you how powerful, and ballsy a guy like Bob Arum is.And there is NO DOUBT in my mind that was a fixed fight
Rumor is that Pacquiao is retiring out of disgust and pursuing religion/politics.The fix was in.
Quick twitter scouting shows no one believing it, not one other boxer, no sports writers ringside, not even some of his friends. Closest was Amir Khan scoring it 7/5, everyone else had it 10/2.
Did you see that little shithead,-right after, he won, he's already talking rematch and knew the date of the card....nah, he's not in Arum's pocket or anythingAnd Manny didn't sOund too enthusiastic about a rematch.
Manny is the most famous man in his country. He thought he was bigger then sport of boxing by making the World wait while he was getting ready watching basketball. He made a huge mistake doing that. Either way I don't believe we'll be seeing those three judges ever again judging a main event bout.
