If it is dying anywhere it is America but that is certainly not the case when looking at PPV Buys and HBO/Showtime TV Ratings.

HBO and Showtime ratings have plummeted in the last decade

I have heard people around different message boards say that he has one more fight with TR but I'm not sure if that's true. Hopefully it is. Maybe the fight that will never happen can happen.

I still don't understand how Arum is still not getting booed off stage at the post fight press conferences. This guy is the most comfortable guy in the world. The media doesn't ask him nothing. He gets to screw his own fighters over and get away with it. No questions asked. And on top of that, Manny is still not going to leave Top Rank. It must be good to be Bob Arum. The most comfortable man in the world.

i want to say it proves he's a sorry ass fighter.. but ill say it in a nicer way...

this proves bradley is a C level fighter that belongs fighting C level fights..... whatever fan base he had, he just lost with that sorry ass performance, he was gassed out halfway through and running away like mosley

Good riddance. I'll save this quote in my archive

Yay, we don't have to worry about hearing Russian after PPV's!

Lol what? You know theres such a thing as live streaming right

We clearly didn't watch the same fight, he looked out on his feet for about three rounds and his corner was asking him if he wanted to continue. That fight will have taken something out of him, as will the rematch.

Pacquiao has basically retired...

De La Hoya
Hatton
Margarito
Mosley
and damaged Cotto badly.

Bradley isn't about to become some star because after 2 fights with Pacquiao he won't have much left.

So what if he looked out of it at certain periods in the fight? He looked out of certain points in his fight with Holt.

The fact of the matter is he did not take a sustained beating, it is not like we saw Pacquiao teeing off on him. If he was rocked he would tie Pacquiao up or duck and weave.

Absolutely ****** suggesting the fight has taken something out of him.

Also, Mosley, De La Hoya and Margarito were at the end of their career. People overlook the fact that Cotto ****ed him up and so did Mosley. On top of that he has a fighting style that is damaging on his health ( So his fights prior to the Mosley beat down cannot be overlooked).

Sir, I respectfully disagree with your statement. Boxing will live on past the events of last night.This wasn't the first robbery and probably won't be the last. It was just a very high profile in a string of very bad decisions. Only a fanboy and pac stan would give up on the sport because of one bad decision. What about Lara, Campillo, Marquez etc? These guys were robbed badly, maybe even worse. We all recognize Pac really won and that's where the respect is. A belt doesn't mean anything, at the end of the day Pac will continue to be a cash cow and Bradley will pull in peanuts by himself.

still the best fighter at 140 and I think he could probably beat a lot of fighters at 147 not named Pacquiao or Mayweather...the little guy is tough but he may have put on too much muscles, he needs to maybe get a little leaner

I like his Jab and his head movement, he was ducking under a lot of Pacqauiao punches, his only problem Defensively was avoiding that Straight Left, also should have fought like he did the last 3 Rounds (COUNTER PUNCH and let Pacquiao come to him)

the lack of Size and Power may prevent him from being an ELITE FIGHTER but he is a tough little dude that can't be denied and to hate him is a joke from some Pacquiao fans, he is not the judge

Was anyone here following BLH's live coverage of the fight? It's pretty interesting to read, because it goes from near-unanimous agreement that Pacquiao was thoroughly outclassing Bradley to complete and utter surprise at the robbery:

[check hook]

There are bad decisions, robberies and there's what we witnessed on Saturday night. We as fans should not accept this, this is the straw that broke boxing's back.

Why did this happen? I don't know, what could Arum gain from this? All I do know is that it was one of the worst if not the worst decisions I have ever seen and we as fans should not accept this. I'm not a fan of Manny Pacquaio or against Bradley, I just love the sport of boxing.

I know there are trolls here enjoying what happened but in a serious thread about a serious issue, I'm disgusted. To those of you who compare this to medicine given to Pac because of what happened to him vs JMM, it isn't even close. Those were tough, competitive fights, this was a one sided beat down that was boring to watch because Bradley had nothing left for Pac. You could see Bradley's body language and then you couple that with the fact he told Arum he lost, the compubox stats and that almost all of the press had Pac winning, this made a mockery of the sport.

I do know that if there is a silver lining in all of this it's that hopefully the govt will step in and take control of this rogue sport. Different commissions in different states, judges that are old and part of the establishment that is the problem and then the promoters who run boxing and fighters into the ground for their own personal monetary gain. We need a boxing Czar, someone who runs all aspects of the sport, unifies the rules and can overturn horrible decisions like this.

We need changes or boxing is done as we know it and this is not an exaggeration. My friends from the MMA gym I help train fighters at texted me and told me "This is why MMA is bigger than boxing now". I had nothing back to say.... To think a fighter dedicates 6-8 weeks of blood sweat and tears, takes punishment in the fights and then is handed down a cowardly decision like this, it's a crime to be quite honest with you. Respect to Bradley, he wasn't the judge but he knew he lost, Arum knew, the press knew, the fans knew and still we were handed something like this.

I will never again pay one red cent towards anything promoted by Top Rank and that's my word. Boxing's integrity died on Saturday night.



Here lies boxing 1838 - 2012

It was no worse than Pac vs JMM. You can find 5 rds for Bradley in this fight. He def won the last 3 rds. The issue is PROFESSIONAL judges scoring PROFESSIONAL fights like it's an AMATUER bout. Poor judging is more of a pressing issue than PED's imho. Just so much incompetence!!!!!
