Pacquiao-Bradley Fight
Did any other boxing fans watch this fight? The decision was a travesty.
Nigel Collins from Friday Night Fights tweeted that anyone who thinks the decision was due to "incompetence is a fool". In other words, he believes boxing is as corrupt as ever. Even Teddy Atlas, who has never been a Pacquiao fan, said any competent person knows Pacquiao won the fight. I know one thing: I won't be spending any more of my money on pay-per-view boxing anytime soon.

Re: Pacquiao-Bradley Fight
It's a set-up so you and everyone else that paid to watch that one will "hopefully" pay again to see the rematch.
The fix was in, but the fighters did not fulfill their agreements to make it very close.
It's like the old Saturday night local TV hosted wrestling matches that always set up the big revenge grudge match for Monday evening at the Civic Auditorium.
It's salesmanship.
And, Yes, it's currupt.
Too much money in the sport for it to be kept honest.

Re: Pacquiao-Bradley Fight
Prime example why MMA has far exceeded boxing in popularity in such a short time.
I just hope this doesn't completely squash Manny's will to compete in this sport, much like it did to my all time favorite Marvin Hagler after his loss to Sugar Ray, way back when.
Split-decisions are ludicrous.

Re: Pacquiao-Bradley Fight
I don't watch fighting of any kind very often, but you gotta like the 'decisions' in UFC. The loser decides that he lost, or loses consciousness.

Re: Pacquiao-Bradley Fight
The Pacquiao-Bradley Fight was a $$ fight....Boxing has always been corrupt.
I'm with Trevor....I would rather watch a MMA fight ...IMO..it’s the least corrupt sport...atleast for now..
