All sporting is for entertainment $$$Between refereeing in sports and judging in combat sports, it's hard to be a sports fan in general sometimes.
I wouldn't doubt many sports have fixes.

^ TWO more times? What? As if one more time weren't bad enough, why two? WTF?
Both fighters said yes to a rematch and Pacquiao was guaranteed one if he lost. And I wouldn't be surprised if we had to watch Bradley-Pacquiao III sometime in 2013.

"Love me or hate me it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, hate my swagger, hate my fade-away, my hunger, hate that i'm a veteran, A champion, hate that. Hate it with all your heart, and hate that i'm loved for the exact same reasons."

Manny wants to fight JMM in Mexico.
You really think Pacquiao is that stupid?
They would ship him back to the Philippines in pieces inside a body bag if he Marquez gets robbed again.

If anything it gives Bob Arum an excuse not to negotiate a fight with Mayweather. Now instead of pursing that fight, they're doing a rematch instead.whatever happened to having to knock out, or win in convincing fashion to beat the champ?

Steve Forbes said it best:
Listen...we all saw the fight... the promotion was geared at a november 10th rematch...you guys couldt see that? This eliminates mayweather from the picture for now... it keeps all money in house...it takes away from the back and forth scrap Maywether/cotto had... and puts the conversation on this fight and what will happen in a rematch... Bradley was the key player in a monopolized plan.. he's young, undefeated, not an idiot, speaks well and well respected. People gave pac credit for taking this fight... but there weren't many options... Rematch will be a huge promotion...with people saying Pacs mad...and gonna go for a knockout.. pure strategical genius by a legendary promoter...if you think I'm wrong...why wasn't Arum outraged? Because the money stays baby!
