How do you react about the decision was made on Pacquiao-Bradley match today? It's obvious that Manny won, but he is good and he respect the decision of the judges and also accepted the rematch on Nov. 10. Did Bob Arum plan all of this for him to get more $$$ on PPV.

Like millions (or even billions) of people around the world, I was definitely upset by the decision made by the judges. Although it wasn't a unanimous one, I still believe Pacquiao won over Bradley. During the game, I observed that the referee seemed to favor Bradley. I said so, because every time Bradley caught Manny in his arms, the referee wouldn't go in between them. Relatively, when Manny caught Bradley in his arms, the referee was quick enough to discipline Manny. Well maybe, it was the mistake of my eyes. . . or maybe because Bradley and the referee are both American. This boxing fight reminded me of another American show, the American Idol in particular. Well, Jessica is absolutely great. . . but just like the final results in boxing - she only came in second. Was it because she wasn't purely American, or was it because she came from a Filipino race? And I thought there was no discrimination in America anymore. Sorry, I was just thinking aloud?

I am very shocked, but not really angry at the winner.. it's not his fault, it's the judges.. how can they be so blind.. I am glad at how Manny absorbed the news though, he respected it and was still grateful.. I definitely want to see a rematch.. and better change those 2 judges.

Yes,since he has been in the boxing industry for decades.. and even if the fans protests, i have never heard of a fight where the decision was changed.. But the people know who really won anyway.

Maybe Manny knows that the decision is final and nothing can change that's why he accepted it although he knows that he won.

Yeah. I think it's publicity. Bradley was already promoting a rematch before the fight. Something tells me this whole thing was set up. Whatever brings in the money I guess.

I agree to redhotpogo, and also after the match Bradley even said to Bob Arum that he did his best but he can't beat the great guy. He knows that he can't beat Manny.

I think God is upset for praying to the Lord for the purpose of hurting an opponent inside the ring, for I know, God will not allow it to happen, as God hates violence, it depends upon the purpose of prayer. I think Timothy Bradley is right, as he said: "You can't use your different Religious Affiliations just to beat me in the ring, Hell is the only requirement in the top of the ring in order to win"

Manny didn't use God, maybe God has a good plan rather than making him won this time. As we all know, I mean the whole world knows who's the true winner. Infact, Bob Arum made all the plans successful. He even had already the date for the rematch. Bob Arum wins this time.

I'm not surprised to the decision because when I saw Manny punching Bradley, it came to my mind that he could not knock Bradley out, which was similar to their first fight with Erik Morales where he could not knock Erik out and they gave Erik the win after the fight. I am not anti-Manny, although I felt nervous during the first 4 rounds, but I am not surprised that Manny may lose because of this, but I am confident that Manny will not be knocked down and good luck to him this coming November.

sounds to me like a pay per view scam like they do in wrestling(fake wrestling). I do believe judges can be biught and payed for in boxing, that is why i do not watch it much . I used to as a kid, I saw most of the Ali fights, all but two I think.

i am definitely shocked and sad about the decision of the judges. i saw the many punches that landed on Bradley's face and body and i saw his wably knees. Manny's performance was awesome and for most Filipinos he is still the champion.

Yes, I am also shocked upon hearing the decision. I think most of us are shocked because we have seen it on our own eyes. I don't know why the judges decided that way but if there are really people behind this then I might not watch boxing again. How can they dare do such thing in TV? People have eyes and they know what they saw.

I believe its Manny Pacquiao who won the fight but for whatever reasons the judges made, its all final and whether or not Bob did something just for the money, I don't think he will sacrifice that big just for the PPV.

Everybody in our house was disappointed on the results of the decision. We know that Manny won the fight, even Bradley knows that. He even murmured that Mayweather will surely defeat Manny just before the winner was announced. Well, anyway if Manny has accepted the decision, why won't we?

Yeah to bad. But the decision of the judges will still prevail, even though we knew whose the real winner, even though I still admire Pacman's acceptance of the result which makes him a really good boxer. And yes I bet he, Bob Arum, will do all plans to make more $$$$$$, yuck.

It's a good match. Maybe Manny didn't really practice well. He's a busy person and maybe he just didn't focus well this time. Hopefully on November 10 manny can make it up to Bradley. Maybe, Bob Arum always use the opportunity to earn money. Especially two big fighters are inside the ring
