Boxing\u2019s most expensive fight may have been over for 3 months, but promoter Bob Arum still has some lingering thoughts on how Manny Pacquiao lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr.<\/em><\/p>\n

Arum told BadLeftHook.com how the English press studied the May 2 (May 3 in Manila and Sydney) fight and saw Compubox scoring the fight wrong.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018The press in England have run that fight in slow motion and they found the CompuBox figures to be totally fictitious,\u2019\u2019 Arum said of the welterweight unification mega-fight. \u2018\u2018Just no relevance to the actual punches landed. Watching that fight, I thought after the fight that Manny had won 7-5, but I can see where it could be 6-6.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Pacquiao lost by unanimous decision and saw his WBO Welterweight title getting unified with Mayweather\u2019s WBA and WBC Welterweight titles.<\/p>\n

Mayweather thus remained undefeated (48-0) while Pacquiao\u2019s record fell to 57 wins-6 losses-2 draws.<\/p>\n

Arum added he was surprised how the judges gave Mayweather the second round while Pacquiao was the one who put the pressure.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018I can\u2019t see how Manny wasn\u2019t given the second round! Floyd did nothing in the second round! Manny landed a lot of punches. So if you give him the second round and the 12th round, because Floyd did nothing in the 12th round, and you give him the four rounds the judges scored for him, that\u2019s six rounds right there.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Still, Arum knows the Fight of the Century was over and his prized client lost and the rival won.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018It is what it is. He lost on the scorecards, Floyd fought a very interesting, very good fight, and everybody goes on with their lives.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Manny Pacquiao thought he beat Floyd Mayweather after 12 rounds of action in their epic boxing showdown on May 2, 2015, which took place live on pay-per-view (PPV) from inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. So did many of Pacquiao’s fans. (mmamania.com)<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the Official Score Card shows otherwise. Bob Arum thinks the score card was fictitious. The Score Card published by Philippine Sentinel in its May 2015 issue shows that Manny Pacquiao won. You be the judge.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
