Pacquaio vs. Bradley

Surely, a lot of us are shocked about  the result is. Pacquaio was defeated by the desert storm, Tim Bradley. 


No one expected that Tim Bradley would grab the World Welterweight Championship. Even I, as well, who really made a guess that Bradley would be knock out at Round 8, was surprise with the result. The fight was decided via a split decision in favor of Tim Bradley.

The score card in the TV screen contradicts the outcome.

The result causes an uproar especially in the social media. In Facebook, a lot of my friends were astounded with the result. Some posted that Manny should have won and some express their dissatisfaction with the result. In Twitter, celebrities such as Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber had already express their own views about the fight. We could expect that this would be the trending topic, not only today but in the few days to come.

In the streets, motorists and by-standers, who had watched the live pay-per-view of the fight, had discuss about the fight and the result. 

So what's next? It is speculated that there will be Pacquaio-Bradley 2 that could possibly be held in November this year. 

So early.

Is boxing, not only a sport, but also a cash cow? Because a lot of money will be poured out thanks to pay-per-views, fee for the entrance ticket for the venue and some alloted fees . Lots will be benefited including the boxing promoter, the venue and of course, the boxers. As usual, there are gambling around. Those who had bet for Bradley, today, gets the money. 

Anyway, Pacquaio is still the winner to the Filipinos and those who support him worldwide.
