I went through a lot of different reactions after that decision. First I was just shocked, completely baffled in a way I don't think I ever have been after a fight. Then I was kind of amused, realizing that Manny freaking Pacquiao got robbed against Tim Bradley, and knowing Arum had planned this. Now, I'm pretty much enraged. I seriously could not be angrier, and am considering walking away from the sport for a while. Anyone with a brain knows exactly what happened here. Tim Bradley has been telling us for weeks now. Arum wanted a rematch, and he is getting one by way of the most heinous big fight robbery I can think of. There is not one robbery in a big fight I can think of that compares to this.
If we didn't know before, we know now. Bob Arum is trying his absolute hardest to completely destroy the credibility of this sport and turn it into professional wrestling. F*** him, f*** Top Rank, and for at least a couple of days f*** this sport.

I wouldn't mind seeing it, enjoyed the fight...up until the scorecards anyway.
I hate Bob Arum though. I am not one for conpiracy theories, but am of the opinion that he was never going to let Mayweather be the one to dethrone Pacquiao, that is the main reason the fight hasn't happened, and possibly why this happened. Can you imagine Arum turning up to a press coference having lost to Floyd, he would never let it happen. If Pacquiao beat Bradley, there was literally nothing between them, no other fight that makes sense, even Floyd said there is no one left. But now there is another route for the forseeable future, well played Arum.

I just rewatched it in IMAX 3-D....... black and white. You guys didnt see it but Bradley knocked Manny down in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 10, and 12th round. I gave all rounds to Bradley, except for a sympathy round to Manny in which Bradley mocked him doing the chicken dance.

It wouldn't surprise me if Arum set this up so there could be a rematch to be honest - not saying that's what he did, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Only watched the HBO version - which was very biased, and had it like 10-2 to Manny, 9-3 at most, but may have been swayed by HBO and there bull****. If after I decide to watch it differently I feel the same then I think Manny was robbed.
I suppose its give and take though, since many people felt Marquez won there last fight and he didn't get the decision, doesn't make robberies right though I agree.
Anyone who's *****ing about Bradley - especially these idiotic celebrities on twitter saying "he should give Manny the belt back", need to give Bradley his props for being so humble in the situation and giving Manny an immediate chance to win the belt back.

Manny dominated Tim. He made him look amateurish, and I don't even believe that was a focused and prime Manny in there.
What's gonna happen in the re-match, apart from the nauseating revenge angle they're gonna try to push?
Tim is gonna back peddle early on. Manny will get bored and the fight will look like sh-t.
Forget objecting to it from a moral perspective, who the hell wants to see this from a boxing viewpoint?
Agreed, too bad Bob Arum is going to cash in on this rematch.
I see a rematch November, failed negotiation with Floyd 2013 a rematch with JMM 4 in Mexico.
Call it a day and hang up them gloves.
