No, he didn't. Bradley won rounds 1, 3, and MAYBE 10. Otherwise it was all Pacquiao for the other 27 minutes.He lost the later rounds. Sometimes that skews the judges opinion.

I'm not really sure why anybody would buy a boxing PPV again. At least the fixed fights in WWE have guys falling off ladders and stuff. JML897WWE hasn't been worth watching for quite some time now. I've switched to MMA

The only comparable incident is Roy Jones Jr. in the '88 Olympics.

I meant that they lie to people all the time about facts and figures to make their selfs look good. I'm not comparing the WWE to boxing or MMA

Yeah, but most of the controversial decisions have at least a little doubt about them being fixed because the fight was closer than this was. It's not often where you see a guy completely dominate a fight and then lose because of split decision.

Exactly. It was a terrible decision, but happens all the time. Paul Williams got a bogus decision over Erislandy Lara that was just as bad less than a year ago. The difference is that this fight involved Pacquiao so it was watched by a lot more people and casual fans.
Boxing is a joke, its just full off controversy and money grabbers who are too scared to fight anyone on par with themselves (Floyed "money" mayweather). This fight and that joke of a fight between david haye and derick chisora shows that i made the right decision to stop following boxing. It's sad that boxing is in this state.Tazzman1000tbh I can't really argue with that. So corrupt, not as bad as it used to be but still bad enough to make you ask, what's the point?

Aye it's not just curruption though, the big fights everyone wants to see aren't happening. It's just disjusting to see boxers claim to be the worlds best, or just the best of their devision, and then when their asked to fight someone who might actually beat them, they make excuses. I mean it would be like the New Zealand all blacks winning the world cup but then only playing against teams like Japan or Fiji while still claiming to be the greatest team on earth. Although that would never happen because rugby and boxing are structured differently but it still shows my point, I hope.

I think they are given far too much power over who they choose to fight

He was robbed of this win, but he was gifted one in his last fight against Marquez.famicommander
that doesn't mean he should be robbed of his next fight. sure, Marquez won against Pac-man the last time, but whatever misjudgement there was should have ended there. it's not about "oh it's okay now Pac is robbed the same way he robbed Marquez" or getting even or something.
Stuff like this is why the UFC has taken over. I watched the fight and it was close too close to call so the champ should have keep his belt. That said pac had bradley hurt two times and did not finish him. Then in the second half bradley would win the start of the round and then pac would flurry at the end. when bradley hurt his ankle in the second round pac should have picked up the pace and went for the kill.
