"The public has a right to know. The fighters have a right to know," said Arum. "The only way to restore fans' confidence in boxing is by letting an independent body investigate every detail of the fight no matter how big or small. Sunshine never hurt anyone." Bradley, the undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion, won a controversial split decision, dethroning Pacquiao on scores or 115-113, 115-113 and 113-115, in a fight most ringside media and fans thought Pacquiao won by a wide margin. brownsugar says:
A slap on the judges wrist won't root out the problem. ... anymore than merely giving back the belt. The source of the corruption needs to be rooted out. Obviously the mere suspension of judges is not a big enough deterrent. SALT_LOVER25 says:
Oh yes, yes, sure. Of course he will. amayseng says:
i agree brownsugar.... the damn gov has taken mlb and clemens to court, this week in fact for using peds that help a pitcher throw a few more innings in a season, why are they not involved in robbery, corruption and theft in boxing especially this fight????? deepwater says:
only a guilty man would scream for an investigation. arum=guilty. pacman still looks like a champ. Radam G says: Da Sin City stanks ain't gonna do syet! The judges were messed up in the head, PERIOD! And they also had a big TUDE with Da Manny for delaying the start of the bout for an hour, while he got his treadmill warm-up on, after watching what the Pinoy-coached Heat did on the B course. riverside says: remember 2004, the fbi raided arum's las vegas offfice for evidence of fight fixing, Know He is asking the attorney general to investigate? reminds me of a culprit not caught who return to the crime scene he was just involved to eves dropped on any information that can help him down the line, Savy old man has better of a chance in cleaning his hands asking for an investigation than to stand idle and do nothing. ali says: Bob Arum needs to knock it off ain't nobody stupid anyone with a little bit of sense knows he is behind the corruption. brownsugar says: Bob Arum admitted to money laundering in 2000 and he also admitted to bribing an IBF Official. At some point Before the fight all the judges, officials and HBO staff had dinner together. All those "old, blind judges" would be hard pressed to turn down extra retirement benefits they could use to feather their nests when they retire. I think promoters wining and dining the officials is very inappropriate to say the least. SouthPaul says: Radam brownsugar says: F@#k Arum. Radam G says: Wow! Yup! People just cannot get out of reality distortion and make-believe actuality. They are just fronting any darn way. These muthasuckas did not have LUV for da Manny and are GLAD that he wuz ROBBED. And now they're hanging Da BobFather because it's been in fashion for thousands of years to blame the Jew for everything under the heavens. SouthPaul says:
Yea, truthfully, he's always been the easiest scapegoat. That ain't denfending the man-- just real talk.

LAS VEGAS, NEV. (June 11, 2012) – Bob Arum, Chairman and CEO of Top Rank, said today that he has submitted a formal request to the Nevada Attorney General’s office for a full and complete inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the scoring of Saturday’s WBO welterweight championship fight between defending champion Manny Pacquiao and challenger Timothy Bradley. The Pacquiao-Bradley welterweight title fight took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.





I think the FBI should be brought in as well, confiscate Arum, the judges, and the casinos financial records. Following the money will expose the culprit.
