I watched the fight again, and wow, you've got to give it to Pacquiao. He took the loss really well, never once showed any anger. He even did his postfight interview alongside Bradley.

This whole situation has been weird.

Pacquiao's reaction is another reason why I feel like something shady was meant to happen with this fight. Go back and watch. The announcers even commented at how Pacquiao was essentially doing nothing for 2/3 of each round and then making a flurry at the end. It almost seemed like he was trying to keep Bradley in the fight. Then, to be as nonchalant as he was about it makes no sense. Pacquiao either cares so little about fighting these days that being screwed doesn't matter to him or jobbing to Bradley was his way of amicably splitting with Arum.

I doubt Pac was involved at all with the potential of the fight being rigged but also wouldn't be surprised if he was well aware of the fight possibly being fixed considering all the talk about a guaranteed rematch and a supposed poster showing a sequel was secretly done by Arum. The judges could have been paid off or just upset at Pac delaying the fight for a NBA game.

Him being a bit slow in the fight could have been related more to him really underestimating Bradley along with not doing warmups while watching the game and rushed a 15 minute warmup after the game was over.
