Social and political criticisms
To think that Manny P, the boxer lost to Bradley is to think simplistically. Days before the fight, even the You tube videos and commentators were forecasting a Pacquiao loss. Why?
Let us try to analyze:
l. What would a Pacquiao win mean? Period. It is finished. No more fights. Who are other credible Pacquiao opponents? None. Would Mayweather still venture out with the result of this fight? He nearly lost to Cotto who was beaten badly by Pacquiao.
2. What would a Bradley win mean? He would rise in ranking and become a credible opponent and his purse money and that of his opponent gets bigger. There would be a Par 2 and Part 3. And for let us say $l50 -200 million gross per fight, who would like a Pacquiao win. If Pacquiao gets $26 million prize for two more fights, he would gladly lose this one?
3. And oh yes, that is in Las Vegas; land of gamblers. It is rumored that on boxing days, it is in the betting where more money change hands. What were the odds?
Now you know....
Do not be sad...
It is the land of boxing promoters and gambling? We should be smart enough to understand.
P. S, Bradley like CJ and GMA too, was on a wheelchair after the fight.
