Business of boxing beat the sport of boxing. People are ready to see the Mayweather fight and assumed that this was just a stop on the way.
I think Mayweather was the real winner tonight, if he wants to fight Manny he still can, because he's not lost, if he doesn't he can say he's a bum and he has the beating of him.

Shocking decision. I gave Many 2 rounds, 3 at most. Many is one of my favourite boxers but tonight he barely connected with Marquez. I dont understand how they can get away with it!

This decision has genuinely made me consider whether i want to continue watching boxing.................
ABSOLUTE fornicating DISGRACE !!!!
I just feel so angry and i'm gutted for Marquez. I know it sounds stupid, but i wanted to get in that ring and knock the fornicate out of Bob Arum and take that fornicating grin off Roach's face. Khan didn't know what to say at the end !! I'm sorry to say this but boxing is bent, simple as that. Pacquaio got beat easily and lost that fight by at least 3 rounds if you were being kind to him.
As someone said "What is the point................."
The sport of boxing is beautiful, but it's all about business now and it's made the sport rotten to it's core. Through no fault of his own Pacquaio will have lost so much respect now and also, if Mayweather fought Pacquaio no-one can be sure anymore that justice would be done if Floyd beat Mayweather because of the bent judging.
Speechless really, my love for the sport has diminished so much tonight. I was looking forward to discussing the Marquez victory and was prepared to admit that my forecast of a Pacquaio victory proved how little i knew etc etc, but now, i just can't be bothered anymore. This sport will decline to nothing because its being bled dry by dodgy bastards, who only love money
Good night

Oh stop moaning you little bitch. You act like JMM won every rd when it was a close fight and could have gone either way. There were at least 4 rds that were for the taking for JMM to win and he just didn't close them out and they were probably given to Manny due to his agression.
Now go to sleep little boy cus you need your bedtime and oh btw i'd like to see you say that bs to my face but i know you wouldn't little boy as you're a little bitch.

I thought it was a terrible decision but am surprised reading the forums how close some people had this fight.Maybe I need to rewatch because for me JMM wins about 9 rounds for me. I cant think of 1 round that was undisputed for Pacman

Total and utter disgrace. How anyone could give that to Pacman I don't know. What this facade does show though is that Mayweather would destroy Pacman. Eintirely different league.

Embarressing for him that Khan his team mate was commentating and said he'd thought he lost. I think there will probably be a 4th fight at this rate as he'll have a job selling himself in the Mayweather fight.

I have not seen the fight. But, if it was as bad a robbery most on here are saying, surely Manny will hang 'em up and dissapear for a while? A long while. I'd always pick Mayweather over Manny, but Floyd must be relishing this now, surely? The next few days could be interesting.... If it WAS as bad as people are saying.

Possibly - I had to watch it with the sound off because we have guests in the spare room next door and it would have kept them awake, and whilst I had Marquez winning, it was only be a point or two. He neutralized Pacman, but never looked like hurting him and landed relatively little of his own, whereas Manny was coming forward looking to connect but largely failing - scoring for aggression, I made it close.

Never saw the fight but is seams is not only here in the Uk judges can't get it right, If you are all right by what you are saying on here then this is why BOXING is slowly killing is self and newspapers do not see it as a creditable sport. Boxing need one world body fair judges fighter, managers, trainers and promotors who will put there fighters in with the best and give the fans what they want. We who work or run this bussiness of boxing should sit down and take a look at ourselfs we need to act now before is to late.

Will you be supporting AIBA in their attempt to do this?

116-112 to Pacquiao is horrendous, it's nearly as bad as 115-113 to Holyfield in the first Lewis fight.
If you give every close round to Manny you could have it level, but in most of the rounds he was fighting JMM's fight, was regularly outjabbed, beaten to the punch and had his left hand completely taken away.
He was probably neutralised more in this fight than in the second, the only difference was JMM being a tad more cautious in getting hos own shots off.
There needs to be a 4th fight as soon as possible, but JMM has as much chance of getting a fair shake as Leeds have of winning the Champions League this season. Absolutely none.
I scored all three fights to him, but you could make an argument for Manny winning the first two. The third was the most one-sided of the lot, nobody knew it more so than Pacquiao, and Roach too.
