Now that's the real robbery ! That difference in pay is abysmal, well, at least in the rematch he'll get a good bit deal more it would seem. Listen, I'm late to this party and sure I'll be in the minority on this, but I don't care and will say it anyways. But I don't think Manny Pacquiao won that fight. He looked old and past his prime.

People wanna get all outraged and shite because they get caught up in the Pacman hype, but that guy was winning the fight up until that big 9th round for Pacquiao. I thought he was hitting Pacquiao and putting up a good fight up until the 9th. There was was a lot of holding and clutching shite going on on both sides that resulted in terrible head butts and all. Both of them had nasty gashes opened up, Horn over his eye and under his eye, Pacquiao high up on his forehead. Horn kept going in, but he was hitting Pacman with shots when he would run in, Pacman hit him with shots too, but not as many as people think he did.

I think people get caught up in all the punches that Pacman throws, but a lot of those punches miss just like they did in that first fight with Bradley, and I thought he lost that fight too. Horn won 2 more rounds imo after the big 9th round for Pacman, and imo won the fight 115-113 like those 2 judges scored it. That lady judge that had it 117-111 must have fell asleep or something.

if you think Pacman missed a lot, wait until you see Horn's stats

Actually pac landed about or over 30% of his punches; horn threw more punches and landed 10-15% less.

If you want to say horn won bc he was moving forward and being aggressive then ok. But at the same time, the bigger and taller fighter should do that anyway, so I can't give him points for that bc that's a given.

You are everything thing wrong with boxing.
That was the biggest rip off in boxing in a long while

Teddy Atlas is a boxing purest and had the balls to tell the guy I respect your heart but you didn't win that fight.

Horn was the agressor, but he was counter punched all night. There's a big difference between being good and agressive and being agressive and counter punched. Pac-man landed almost double the punches and threw less and definitely caused more damage.
