Pacquiao-Bradley Script!

For the first time in 7 years Philipines' top sports phenom Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao lost boxing match.  Pacquiao was defeated by undefeated Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley in a highly controversial match. The whole world was stunned by the decision.  The decision become trending in twitter with hashtags like #RIPBoxing. While many are mad about the decision, I am sure some are happy.  These are the people who could be happy with Bradley's win.


  1. The Bettors. +350. I am sure that many made a killing. The mafia maybe or just an average Joe who needs the long shot to win so that he can pay for mortgage are some important medicine. Maybe Manny was the instrument someone who needs a big help. A miracle happened to some lucky gamblers. 
  2. Gays. Pacquiao was deemed anti-gay marriage. I guess some homosexuals are saying, "that's for saying, we can't marry!".  Who knows, there is a judge who is gay or is close to someone gay. Judging a boxing match is based on opinion.  Now Manny knows that opinions can HURT A LOT!
  3. Marquez or his fanatics. Finally, they can say "How does it feel now, Manny Boy?".  After hurting from 3 very close matches, this one for sure hurts more. Pacquiao might say he has accepted it but definitely it will hurt once it sinks in. A Philippine presidential candidate even died after losing a very controversial election loss.  Hopefully, Pacquiao can truly move on.
  4. Gloria Arroyo ultra haters. It has been a bad year so far for ex-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA)'s supporters.  Corona got impeached. Pacquiao lost. Some close aides get sued.  It has been all downhill. Who's next?
  5. Bradley and his team. He should be or he shouldn't be. Would you be elated to win the greatest robbery in boxing history? Would you want your name stained by it? At first glance though they should be happy. A major windfall could come if there is a rematch.  That is a big IF.
  6. Bob Arum. Bob "Puppet Master" Arum is happy that he has found "a. A rival b. replacement" to his most prized boxer in recent years.  He can groom Bradley to be the heir apparent but apparently he can also just feed him to the dogs after being involved in the biggest heist in the square ring.  Arum is happy because he can make more money with the prospects of having a "fake" trilogy.
  7. Nevada. With another supposed blockbuster card coming in November, the State of Nevada will be alive. Yohoo! Money to the economy! Hurray!!!
  8. MMA. Mixed Martial Arts will use this to encroach and get more boxing fans to switch loyalties.  They have slowly developed stars that could eclipse the available stars of boxing. Dana White is smiling and he could probably invite Manny to switch over.
The original "script" supposedly calls for Manny lose a very close decision to Bradley. But Bradley freakin' blew it and judges were dumb to see that one of the actors was not convincing enough to merit a winning round.  As damage control, Arum has to act as if he did not want to be part of the "scam". Manny, being a good actor, just accepted the loss and is open for rematch. Many are even praising for being a gracious loser. LOL. They are selling the rematch a week earlier than the first fight. Is it just a plain coincidence? Manny is playing like the best actor of a very ugly play or movie.

The second part of the trilogy will have Manny win a close and similarly controversial decision. The major players on this script are Arum, HBO, and WBO. They are supposed to save boxing but they are equally giving it a sudden death. After the win, the Filipino hero would run for higher office. He could either end up a governor or a senator.

With the outrage of fans and writers, there will be major changes on the script for sure. Manny can also opt out and just scuttle all the plans of the conspirators. Will you be a part of the story? The plot thickens....
