Does Bradly deserve a rematch?



Edited by Maine to make title of thread more clear, please ensure your titles aren't vague.  Thanks!

Of course there will be a rematch.  There's too much money at stake for there not to be one.

I thought Pacquiao had a rematch clause for this fight.  What's the discussion?

They had the rematch posters made up before the 1st fight even took place. FIX

Should there be one since the WBO said Manny won. Everyone wants to see Paq vs Mayweather and not a rematch with Bradly to regain a title he should have never lost.

Somewhere in a county jail cell, Mayweather is screaming in rage.

I thought there was some controversy since Manny won pretty much every round but Bradley was declared the winner. I don't follow boxing, though.

Boxing is a farce.  Nobody should watch the re-match.  What's the point?

Actually you are 100% correct. But I have a twist on your statement. The point of a rematch would be to right a wrong that happened to Manny. A fight between Mayweather and Pac is the one everyone should boycott. Mayweather has turned the boxing into a silly pro wrestling type sport and he only cares about the money. He had a 90 jail sentence and after 12 days was whining and crying about the food and how he couldn't get bottled water and had to drink tap water. Mayweather is a pussy of the highest order, Paris Hilton lasted longer than him. He'll be eating canned cat food when he's old, count on it...............

I will say this, most of the time the judges get it right.  But there are fights where it's like "what the fuck are they looking at?"  And you gotta wonder are they just incompetant or did somebody get bought off.   Since nobody really wants to do anything about it, it's not going to change.

And boxing is irrelevant. 

It's a dying sport.  MMA has taken its place.

I cannot name a single active MMA fighter.

Georges St-Pierre (GSP) is one of the more famous athletes in the world, particularly because UFC airs its events on broadcast TV (instead of PPV) in many developing nations.  Rampage Jackson is another very popular current fighter who starred in the recent A-Team remake.

It seems to me that most people who follow both sports (i.e. are not ideologically opposed to MMA) tend to be more enthusiastic about MMA.  Boxing is just far more political than MMA.
