Nevada Govener and Senate issues petition to Over Turn Pacquiao / Bradley decision..

[Manniacal]

http://www.change.org/petitions/the...dges-decision-regarding-pacquiao-bradley-bout

we need 20,000 it's rising quickly right now @ 5,880.

sign the petition if you believe pacquiao clearly won. this is not just making "Boxing" look bad but its also a bad look on Nevada Sports in General.

if you don't believe in this that's on you but if you want to help the sport. i say support this!

spread the word as a favor to pac and boxing.

If they overturn this, his fight vs Marquez should also be on the petition. Can't be a hypocrite.

I don't agree with this at all. You live and die by the rules and system you provide. If the Super Bowl were to end on a last second play that turned out to be an incorrect call, it is what it is. What this Nevada governor should be doing is forcing the NSAC to have those judges explain their decisions. Sit them down and make you give them the reason for every round they scored for Bradley and if that's not up to the standards of the NSAC then a punishment should be involved from there.

Overturning decisions, IMO, is absolutely not the way to go. The damage is done here, move forward and people can either stick to their story about never watching boxing again or wait for the next shitty to happen so they can proclaim it once more.

not quite the same. but your point is valid since this is hardly the first robbery.

plus I don't think the state of nevada can overturn a decision unless there is proof of a rule or law being broken. bad judging isn't breaking any rules.at best they can suspended the judges, like what happened with the three judges who were involved in Lara vs Williams.

but I think people should sign the shit regardless just to show the anger and hopefully Nevada makes some changes to prevent this type of shit.

news breaking out on yahoo news. arum issuing an investigation NO REMATCH TILL IT'S DONE!

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

How is it not the same? Was there not an uproar after the decision was given? I believe Manny won the fight vs Timmy, but for him and his team to be crying about a robbery is exactly the same as Marquez and his team doing the same thing. How is this different?

Can't be a hypocrite man...

 

[Manniacal]

you could argue all day when you don't agree with the decision but now that you can do something about it? you would rather complain?

i'm not trippin i know who won that fight and it's quickly rising as we speak. be heard or be left out.

this was not a move on the pac camp this is nevada speaking.

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

If only people would be this involved with political issues that actually mattered.

Boxing getting a black eye like that (again) is bigger than you think.
Nevada thrives off it's tourism in Vegas. Boxing is a big deal to them.

So when Arum, Top Rank, or whoever pulls stunts like this it's hurting the economic growth (which is already hurt enough in LV) even more. A couple people are making profits off the states expense. They need to step in. If anyone is going to make money it's going to be them, not Arum. The sport lost a ton of respect last night. This was a robbery in which common people saw. Not us watching no named fighters (to the public) then bitching about it online. The whole word saw this time. It's just bad all around. At least call it a draw, or make it somewhat smoother.

To me, it doesnt matter.
To the state of Nevada, they just took a huge hit.

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

Didn't look at it that way, but you're right. They need to look beyond just this fight though and see the big picture here...

 

[Manniacal]

that is why i'm doing this. me and the homie had this same talk with everybody watching that night together. the money that comes in from these fights to vegas is nothing to be scoffed @. high rollers, liquor, food, lodging ect. this is probably why it is being so scrutinized finally by the state that host this.

i've read the articles here and no athlete really sides with this decision. it's all bad.

and so what should fans that actually go to vegas let it ride? should people behind the scenes not be investigated for anything fishy this isn't the first time this happened.

fucking do something about it. i'm glad they give us the opportunity.

like we've discussed in the other thread one fight was close the other was not. And I'm not talking about my personal scorecard or your scorecard, if we look at the press scoring and boxing sites scoring you have a lot of respectful people who scored it for marquez, a lot of respectful people who scored it for pacquiao and probably even more who scored it a draw. That should tell us all it was close and could have gone either way.

saturday's fight was a clear cut robbery, so far out of 48 press scores 47 scored for Pac and only 1 for bradley. That's insane.

Hard to compare this to football. Credit football for doing as much as they can to protect themselves from games ending on bad calls.


Boxing leaves it in the hands of 3 judges, 2 of which always seem to be questionable.
I kinda of agree with what some said in another thread, let them fight till someone drops.
Although that would never happen.

 

[HERESY]

Like I said before this fight even happened like a week ago, when we were talking about ped's, the senate, congress, etc needs to investigate boxing and take a close look at Top Rank and Bob Arum.

BTW, Arum is using deflection tactics. Calling for an investigation means nothing. He stands to get paid regardless. He's attempting to take the heat off himself.

 

[Johnny Truelove]

arum is a genius rematch is november pacquiao wins then we get the 3rd fight since no one wants to see a 4th fight with marquez manny never has to fight mayweather and makes the same amount if not more with these 3 fights with bradley. everybody is in on it manny was happy wasn't even tripping when he heard the decision.

It's pimpin 101, pimpin. Just like you said, everyone is in on it. Manny probably had a couple of million bet against himself, I wouldn't doubt it. Huggin this nigga after the fight, smiling, raising his hand, it's like this nigga manny didn't know when to turn off the PR machine.

 

[skilz151]

Oddly enough they already had a rematch date set which both sides new about, and doesn't arum represent both boxers? All three sides set to get paid double, possibly triple. Arum should be the one being investigated.

 

[bgrumpyp]

This shit has me rolmfao! All you fools that were saying that Marquez/fans need to accept the robbery and move on, Now look at yourselfs (signing petitions).

You can thank, Arum for fixing the last 2 decisions on Mannys fights!

You hit the nail on the head. Karma is bitch and the Manny fans are feeling it now.

actually pac and jmm had a very cool discussion/interview with eachother after the bradley fight and pac said he would rather fight JMM in Mexico then fight bradley since everyone knows he won. Marquez said he had manny winning by 4-5 rounds
