I haven't seen the fight so I can't comment because but there may be some mob money involved in this one. My gosh.
The cab driver I was talking to this afternoon thought the match might have been rigged just for the sake of ratings. I mean, Pacquiao is a boxing icon, and seeing him lose is going to stir up controversy. Which raises hype for the November rematch.
But if it is mob money, then Pacquiao may have bitten off more than he can chew.
Yeah, the decision looks like it was fixed. Bradley was hurt and complaining the whole fight. Pacquaio had more power punches and punches landed. He was definitely winning by a wide margin. It was no way close to the score after the fight, not at all! Anyway least Pacman moved on already, took the loss with grace. Get ready next fight, someone is gonna get knocked out!
What's really frustrating to me about all this is that this type of thing seems to happen a lot in Nevada, especially in MMA, and Keith Kizer (the head of NSAC) still does nothing. So many of these problems could be fixed if Kizer would pull his head out of the sand or if he could be replaced. Hopefully with how high profile this particular case is and how outraged the fan base is there will be something done about it for a change.
Steven A. Smith talked on First Take this weekend about the issue, with Skip Bayless. TL;DR was stop watching PPV's until the government gets involved and/or the corrupt 2-3 man promotion godfathers actually start giving people the fights they want to see (Mayweather v. Pacquiao jumps to mind). Bayless agreed.

This. People would definitely want to see a rematch to see if Bradley can indeed beat Manny.

Pacquiao loses split decision. 115-113, 113-115, 113-115.
Most at ring side had it 119-109 or 117-111 Pacquiao.
Not only did he dominate early, but he closed strong, and was also the aggressor as well, even late when he had the fight well in hand.
