Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley June 9th [Las Vegas]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
bradley looked like he won the mega millions jackpot. so did his wife. She went from absolutely gutted, sad and pathetic with tears in her eyes, to OMFG WE RICH NOW!!
Anyways, bradley's manager Cameron Dunkin is saying bradley reads/listens to the media a lot and he's taking all the negative criticism to the heart and it's really hurting his feelings. No joke. Dude knows he lost, feels bad about it, but it's about that money, man. Of course he's gonna say he won. Get that rematch. Can't blame bradley for that, he's in the position he's in and is guaranteed another payday. He'd be a fool not to take full advantage of the situation he's in.

if they fight in Mexico though, man that shit would be massive. imagine this fight at Azteca stadium or whatever its called, 100,000 people. that would be fucking bananas. marquez fans would be going absolutely crazy, the atmosphere would be insane.
that's the only way I'd be hyped for the fight. if its at vegas or texas, forget about it. rather see bradley rematch.
as for floyd I doubt he fights again this year but we'll have to wait to hear from floyd. if he's granted house arrest he may do it. otherwise I see him sitting the rest of the year out.

Uhhh apparenlty not the same fight you were. Pac nailed him numrous times especially with his straight left . But hey don't take it from me take it from Timothy Bradley:
"Pacquiao hurt me several times. He's a beast!"
but I guess Bradley is a Pactard and a Manny groupie too, he's just lying cuz he's biased!
omg pac cut his tongue he must have lost! pac bleeds in all of his fights.
I don't drink or do drugs.
but here let's compare:
Damn! Manny looks busted the fuck up! oh wait...no. Bradley has some marks and bruises. But of course judging a guys face after the fight isn't how we score fights, unless there is some new rule I'm unaware of. If so, I guess Clottey won?

And Bradley was being respectful of manny who was standing right next to him., hes a humble dude. Later that night he said Manny didn't hurt him at all and that hes on the same elite level which is true. I never seen Bradley dazed or wobbled if u count him rolling his ankle trying to get out the way of Mannys flurries

BoxingScene.com has obtained the numbers for last Saturday's welterweight bout between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, which took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The controversial fight generated a live gate of $8,963,180, with 13,229 tickets sold. There were 2,070 unsold tickets and 925 comps given out.
There was also an additional gate of $249,000 via closed circuit from 4,980 tickets sold.
This was Pacquiao's third consecutive appearance at the MGM Grand.
The numbers dipped from Pacquiao's November trilogy bout with Juan Manuel Marquez. The Marquez trilogy sold 15,498 tickets and generated a gate of $11,648,300.
However, the overall figures for Pacquiao-Bradley were not far off from the numbers related to Pacquiao's May 2011 pay-per-view with Shane Mosley. Pacquiao-Mosley sold more tickets, with 15,422, but the event had a slightly lower live gate of $8,882,600.

great, if they can get a National Boxing Commission to regulate the sport out of this robbery that would be awesome.
Senator Reid Eyes Boxing Reform After Pacquiao-Bradley
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is using boxer Manny Pacquiao's controversial defeat over the weekend to push for long-stalled legislation to more strictly regulate the sport.
The Nevada Democrat, who knows Pacquiao and has enjoyed the famous boxer's political support in the past, was asked about the Filipino superstar's shocking loss Saturday to Timothy Bradley and the judges' controversial decision.
"From all the reports that I've seen by people on the outside who saw the fight, who attempted to be fair and judge the fight, Pacquiao won the fight," said Reid, himself a former amateur boxer and chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission.
From there, he suggested Congress should again take up a boxing regulatory bill that he has been pushing with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for the past decade.
"Senator McCain and I have been trying for years — years — to get a national boxing bill passed here," he said. "We have not been able to do it. Maybe this will be the impetus (for McCain and I to) get back, work on that again. I haven't had the chance to talk to him in the last 24 hours, but I will."
A McCain spokesman later told the Las Vegas Sun that the senator is considering introducing the bill again and considers the Pacquiao-Bradley decision a "black mark" on boxing's reputation.
The bill in question would establish a National Boxing Commission to regulate the sport with health and safety standards. The first version of the bill set licensing standards for boxers, judges and referees and registration standards for promoters, trainers and others.
Reid also said he's comfortable with the state attorney general investigating the decision but does not believe anything "untoward" took place.
Two judges scored the fight 115-113 for Bradley, while the other scored it 115-113 for Pacquiao. Meanwhile, HBO's longtime scorer, Harold Lederman, scored only one round in favor of Bradley.

i dont think it was as bad as everyone is making it... and i for damn sure didnt score it 11-1... thats a bs score.. for almost 5-6 straight rounds... manny took 2 minutes to do anything... im sorry but chillen for 2 minutes then throwing 1,000 punches and landing 4 or 5 dont win u a round in my book... bradley was smart and threw punches constantly... busier fighter always gets the nod
