He is make bank on the rematch and Pacquiao doesn't have to fight Mayweather in the process.
I'm curious to know if you will watch the rematch? Not saying that you will PURCHASE it. Just asking if you will watch it?
I hate to say it because it makes me a sucker but I will be watching it.
I also will begin saving my money for a Pacquiao wager because I really feel like he was in no way prepared for that fight, and that he also let off the gas about 2/3 of the way through the fight.
I'm willing to think this is the last time Pacman will schedule a fight during the NBA playoffs, the last time he won't be focused, late to the dressing room, not properly stretch out his calves, not get a proper warm up, etc.
I thought going into the fight that Pacman's focus would cost him. Then I watched the fight and was proven wrong by Pacman's performance. Then the judges miraculously proved me right.
No way this happens a second time. This isn't Roy Jones vs Antonio Tarver 2. |

Definitely understandable. I think Pacman wins a rematch either way. Not as much money in a Bradley vs Mayweather fight as oppose to Pacquiao vs Mayweather.
I still think they will make this fight happen. Where there is enough money, there is a way.
I know these guys have enough money to last their grandchildren's life times but there is a reason that guys like Zuckerberg and Gates still work. There are legacies to leave to more money to be made. Just my opinion though.
This result just darkens the already dark cloud that hangs over boxing's head. |

Completely agree with the Arum sentiment. That guy is awful for boxing and makes someone like Dana White look like the pope. |

Duane Ford decided to once again come out in the open and explain
his controversial judging of last week’s bout between Manny Pacquiao and
Timothy Bradley. And once again, he came not only short but with
confusing and baffling answers to the hottest topic in sports nowadays.
Ford was one of the special guests in Jim Lampley’s HBO program
called “The Fight Game” which tackled the arguable decision that Ford
alongside fellow judge C.J. Ross came up with in that mega fight in Las
Vegas a week ago.
Ford first defended the qualifications of himself and his two other
fellow judges that night stating that “they are not trainees” and adding
that the three of them have a combined 350 plus world title fights
between them. He further states that all of them saw and agreed that
Pacquiao and Bradley fought a close fight last June 9th. It is an
observation that the fans of the sport strongly disagrees with.
Majority that watched the fight both at the MGM Grand and worldwide
through television thinks that the Filipino boxer won the fight and that
he won it convincingly as well.
“What I personally saw that night, is that the first six rounds,
clearly Pacquiao was the winner. It was an exciting six rounds,” stated
Ford during the interview with Lampley.
Wait! He said what? He saw Pacquiao clearly winning six rounds of
the twelve round championship fight. Then why did he only give five
rounds to Pacquiao in his score cards? If he thinks that the then
defending champion won six of the twelve, then the least he could score
it was a draw for both fighters. Twelve minus six equals six, right Mr.
Ford?
Mr. Ford did not stop there. He further defended his actions that
night by saying “What I saw on the fourth round is that Pacquiao clearly
won that. He hurt Bradley. But the Manny Pacquiao that I judged in the
past would have finished him. He let him off the hook. “
Wait again! Did Ford judge Pacquiao’s performance not because of
what he saw happening in the ring that night but instead compared him to
the Pacquiao of the past? When did comparison of present and past
performances become a factor in judging a fight? If that was one of the
factors that he used in judging that fight, then his scores should not
only be examined but he should be questioned by the Nevada Athletic
Commission as well. He clearly is using the wrong criteria in judging a
boxing fight. He is clearly biased on old performances of fighters
versus the way the fight unfolds in front of his eyes. No wonder he came
up with that score card. He should not be allowed to judge again based
on this statement of his. He looks not on the fight itself but on what
he perceived that fighter was once capable of doing. He clearly has it
wrong.
Mr. Ford’s bloopers did not stop there on last night’s TV
appearance. He further states that Pacquiao “in the later rounds, I
thought he tired and his punches were missing a bit.”
Wait, wait Mr. Ford. Missing a BIT? What exactly did you see that
night sir? Did he miss or did he not, did he score or did he not? There
is no “bit” in judging a fight. What exactly did you see? Or what
exactly did you not see?
Duane Ford was very vocal of his actions right after the fight. He
defended his appalling scoring of a fight that the world saw
differently. He told the Las Vegas Review Journal that he thought
“Bradley gave Pacquiao a boxing lesson.” A comment that is uncalled for,
given the issue at hand. Ford’s comment at that time was not only
ill-advised, it is also arrogant.
But Duane Ford’s appearance on television last night and he making
those remarks just added to the debate that he has erred in judging the
Pacquiao-Bradley match. His explanations were absurd and downright
confusing. He puts himself in a deeper hole with every statement he
makes.
Mr. Ford should just remain silent from hereon and stop embarrassing
himself and the sport. He has done enough damage already. He needs to
stop defending his controversial work that night with equally
controversial answers. He should stop representing other boxing judges,
because he cannot. Despite his years of experience in the sport, he has
only become a poster boy for erroneous and incompetent judging because
of his actions last week and his remarks thereafter.
If Duane Ford thinks that Timothy Bradley gave Manny Pacquiao a
boxing lesson, then maybe someone should give him a simple MATH LESSON.
Mr. Ford… 12 - 6 = 6!
