[TheNatural]

Summary: Pacquaio won all 12 rounds and lost the decision.

MMA doesn't have a promoter fixing fights.

Pacquiao dominated the fight, winning the first 11 rounds on most scorecards, including mine.

Somehow though, the other guy won a split decision (meaning two of the three judges thought he won the fight.)

any gifs of bradley's wife? even she knew her husband lost.

Jon Jones lol. He is what came to your mind when thinking of famous MMA fighters, really?

Yes, the guy who has done multiple nationwide tv commercials for mainstream brands is probably one of the more famous fighters.

There isn't any question that he's one of the most famous unless we are going to talk about retired guys at which point the whole conversation is stupid because no mma guys would crack the top 20 of famous retired/dead boxers.

Come on Bones has to be top 5 in UFC popularity

Probably among people unfamiliar with UFC/Pride/Dream and also since he's currently the champ. But he's far from being on a superstar status along the lines of Shamrock, Penn, Sakuraba, Rampage, Gracies and others.

Yes it was that obvious. Well, Lederman on HBO gave Bradley one sympathy round, and so did Dan Rafael on ESPN. He outlanded Bradley by about 100 power punches overall.

WHAT? You're taking about being famous right? Most people think the sport is called UFC and have no fucking clue what Pride and Dream even are

Did he really say this or are media sources just running with an unsourced wiki vandalism?

 

[vas_a_morir]

You're out of your mind.

Eh, I'm not trying to attack the fans. I'm just saying, if you watch ESPN every day, you will likely know at least 2 boxers, probably 3. They are household names. I can't say the same for MMA, yet. Don't be mad at me, be mad at the national sports media for largely ignoring MMA.

That guy is full of shit saying UFC has no famous fighters that the averge person would know btw...even my friends that don't watch MMA know who Bas Rutten, Chuck Liddell, GSP, Ken Shamrock, Brock Lesnar, etc are.

 

[Dr.Acula]

WHAT? You're taking about being famous right? Most people think the sport is called UFC and have no fucking clue what Pride and Dream even are

Well I tell ya. I'm a casual fan of both sports... and WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO, I have no idea who has what belts or what these different leagues are.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Most people outside of Japan aren't familiar with PRIDE. And I say that as a big PRIDE fan.

Jon Jones is one of the biggest fighters around today. He's a LOT more known than guys like Penn and Saku. He's got a shoe deal and commercials on NFL halftime shows. Rampage and Ken the Sham are well-known in no small part for work outside real fighting in the mainstream. The Gracie name is well-known, but I'd venture to say most fight fans today couldn't pick Renzo, Royce, Rickson, or Roger out of a lineup if asked.

Sunhi you are a fucking GIF legend, nice job bro.

 

[mozfan12]

JMM is a commentator for ESPN Deportes, should be interesting to hear his opinion. His show Golpe a Golpe is coming out right now at 11 pm if your a spanish speaker.

Arum said. "I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, 'I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy.'"

Mayweather & Pac are the only known boxers. You're out of your mind if you think the average person knows more than them.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Rematch will probably be a good fight, but it's going to be incredibly hard to watch. Was there really no one else left for Pacquaio to fight at Top Rank?

 

[bigtroyjon]

Did he really say this or are media sources just running with an unsourced wiki vandalism?

Really said it, here's another quote

"Can you believe that? Unbelievable," Arum said. "I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, 'I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy.' "

 

[Radec]

Arum said. "I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, 'I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy.'"

..then I said, "Don't worry kid, I got this."

So will this be replayed on HBO?

Some of the Twitter comments shown on ESPN by famous athletes are kind of suprising how shocked and upset at it they seem. Whenever I have seen a bad descision I just shrug and think well that's boxing, but will have to see a replay to see why such reactions.

I'm sure they could have dug up some corpse of a can for him to beat up like they did with Margarito or Mosley or Hatton and his stans would slurp it up and think Manny beating them was some great accomplishment. Arum probably saw the writing on the wall. A rematch coming off a robbery/loss, even against a boring overmatched fighter like Bradley, would do good business for him.

They usually replay PPV fights on HBO about a month or two after they happen.

I don't think they know more than that, and if I believed that, then I would indeed be out of my mind. I think most casual non-combat sports fans know those two boxers, and maybe Sugar Shane Mosley. However, I do think most casual non-fans who watch ESPN every day and follow baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and so on... I think they would be with me in not knowing any of the names of MMA fighters. Nothing against the sport, it just doesn't get the airtime that the top two boxers still get.

They actually replay it a week after.

so is it time for the mods to merge the Boxing community and Pro Wrestling community threads into one? Let's start getting to know each other.
