Bob Arum at the Pacquiao vs Bradley Post Fight Press Conference
"This is totally different. This is a fight that respected people scored 11-1, 10-2. Everybody was talking how Bradley was trying hard but it was a mismatch. And to hear scores like we heard tonight is unfathomable. You look at the punch stats, well with your own eyes, well you saw. There's no way I can explain."
"Now, I've been in places where the hometown decision is outrageous, and you know what's happening. I don't think anything was happening here, except this people don't know how to score. They really don't. Two of the judges were judging fights when I first came to Las Vegas. And the truth is they're too damn old to judge anymore. That's the truth. And the third judge the lady, I don't think she has done a championship fight before. What the hell are these people... all three of them. Including the one they had 7-5 for Pacquiao. What were they looking at"?
"Everyone think like the Marquez Pacquiao fight, a lot of people thought Marquez won, a lot of people thought Pacquiao won, but it was close. Well everybody said it was close. This wasn't really a close fight."
"But I'm happy for Tim because he's a lovely young man and he's going to make a lot of money now."
"But let me tell you something. Not good for the sports of boxing. Everybody who watched it, will be able to watch it on the next few days, and then on HBO, are going to be totally and completely befuddled. How can you watch sports where you don't see any motive for any malfeasance, and yet come up with a result like we came up with tonight? How do you explain it to anybody?"
"I mean punch stats. Pacquiao lands at least double the power punches, he lands more jabs. His connect ratio is much higher. I mean, what fight were they watching?"

"I'm very proud of Manny. I thought that was the best fight since the Cotto fight. I told him he gave the 11th round away, I told him to pick it up, and finish this guy. In the 12th I said let's go for a knockout and he didn't pick it up. It’s only because I like knockouts. Bradley was very tough and very durable. So be it. But I thought we clearly won the fight."
"I think the judges have their eyes close. I'm not sure. Something wasn't right because what everyone saw and what they saw were two different things."
"I'm not sure if our last fight has something to do with it. Our last fight was a very close fight but I think Manny win by a little bit. Did they hold that against us? I'm not sure."
Bradley took some really good shots. He has a good chin, he's a tough guy. He chose not to fight midway through by moving away from Manny. I told Manny, Bradley is going to come all night but Manny said 'once he feels my power he's going to run.' And Manny was right."
The judges were either asleep or on another planet!! Their decision should be overturned!!!The boxing federation should act immeditately!!
I agree with anonymous. This decision should be overturned or overruled by the official body. On what grounds could you say Bradley won? It is outrageous. Pacquiao so clearly won the fight-by a country mile. I can only assume this fight decision was rigged for financial gain. It makes a mockery of having judges when they reach a decision like that. They are supposed to be the experts??!
