      Arum is so shook of Floyd that he's willing to compromise the sport for it.

          The Timothy Bradley-Manny Pacquiao Rematch Poster Was Already Made Two Weeks Ago

          Are you ready for Manny Pacquiao – Timothy Bradley II? Timothy Bradley tweeted out this photo back on May 29th, 11 days before the fight that was so controversial that it demands a rematch.*


          As you can tell from the poster, the match is set for November 10, and the tickets – hey, what do you know – are available right now.
          At this point, we should remind you that Bob Arum is the promoter for both Pacquiao and Bradley. If this had been scored a decisive victory for Pacquiao, there is no rematch or at least one that is desired by the public. Arum acted upset after the fight, saying he had it 10 rounds to 2 for Pacquiao. He also told Kevin Iole, “This is a death knell for boxing, and I’m going to make a ton of money on the rematch.”
          Yeah, well, Arum’s product, for which they were already publishing rematch posters, became far more relevant – and despite the protests the sport of boxing is being talked about this morning – because of what happened early Sunday morning in Las Vegas.

              The day after the stunning split decision that gave Timothy Bradley a controversial victory over Manny Pacquiao, an Irish betting site is refunding Pacquiao betters in what it calls a “justice payout.”


              Pretty cool move by this betting site, would never expect that.

                If Bob Arum were black, he'd be Don King (or George Washington Duke).

                      Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!






                      Lara vs Williams was the most recent, took place last year but all of these were pretty egregious.

                        Another poor decision in the Adamek vs Chambers fight. In my opinion Chambers won that fight by 2 rounds, one judge rather gave it to Adamek by 10 rounds to 2.

                            Don't think Lopez will survive with that belt for long with no power whatsoever. Found Ortiz wide open a lot and didn't have the power otherwise he could have floored him easily imo. Ortiz will be gutted that he was too easy to tie up in the previous rounds and couldn't finish it off because he was doing damage.

                            Matthysse vs Soto was a fun scrap as well. Crazy, reckless sparring.

                              Watched Bradley-Pacquiao again. Scored it a 1 point decision in favour of Pacman. When you put it in perspective, you see how sloppy Pacman was, and, in all honesty Bradley slipped him like a pro every time he tried to put some punches together. If you go to a decision on the back of 12 tight rounds (3 of which were dead even draws) then decisions can go against you.

                              Aggression: Pacman
                              Power: Pacman
                              Technique: Bradley

                                Bradley won 4 rounds Max.
