    It would be a shame to have a bad call tarnish Pacquiao's record. I don't know if it's true, but it's happened now, and there's no going back. Haven't really followed boxing since back in it's heyday. Ali, Frazier, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, Hearns, Hagler, Pepino Cuevas, even No mas, Hands of stone :)

    Rarely watch boxing since I don't have cable any more but according to many people on youtube they all keep saying it's rigged and that it was a paid fake fight and that the refs were bribed.

    I watched the PPV, everybody gives rounds 10 and 11 to bradley, the rest is all pacquiao. Even Bradley's manager scored it 8 - 3 for Pacquiao. Everybody knows the result, but when they announced the winner, the crowd in the arena, the people watching on their TV, the commentators, they're all stunned in the result.

    Whats worst is, people already celebrating in the arena and then BOOM!!...

    It was a really sad day in boxing.

    EDIT:

    Here's the punch stat.

    Must of paid them big time to do a result like that.Greed once again poisoning something that was great.I find it extremely odd that he won if he landed less punches.By the way people are telling it,most say that there was almost no way Bradley could of won. This crowd sounds really upset.

    But kudos to Pacquiao. He might have lost the belt unfairly, but he displayed true sportsmanship by accepting the "judges" decision with dignity and humility. Can't take the class out of a true champ.

    That's true,anyways I think this is some kind of marketing scheme more then anything to get people to pay to see the seconded fight that they mentioned they were going to do. I bet that's why they did this just to have a excuse for a rematch to make more money more then likely. Anyways I hope Pacquiao wins the rematch hopefully and doesn't get cheated like that again.

    After everything he's done for boxing, Pacquiao is the last person who should have been cheated like this. He deserved better.

    I don't think people will watch the rematch.

    If I'm not mistaken, I think I heard a sports radio talk show guy say an hour or so ago that the contracts for the rematch were already signed before the fight even took place--along with the date of the rematch.
