I am just curious how those 3 judges could tame millions of Pacquiao supporters with their anger with the alleged unjust result.
Pacquiao is really a good man and a good athlete ( I am proud that he is a Filipino).. He knew that he won the fight..but he opt to accept the result in silence, but million of people are behind him and can't just leave it unresolved,with all fairness, i give thumps up to Bob Arum, his decision of asking for an investigation would be fair enough to please the crowd who are not contented with the judges' decision.
What would be the feelings of the 3 judges, when even their senators, Sen.Harry Reid and Jhon McCain disagreed with the controversial decision? and supports Pacquiao...What is the meaning of this..?

Thanks for your comment.. You are right .. but somehow his silence and humble acceptance turn to a positive results, because of that his supporters became more adamant to defend him, but i hope he must speak up to defend his stand...

I don't care really, he's got a lot of Money already and i like his new perspective in life. boxing is just his job and entertains people while they fight, whether he loose now it doesn't really matter because he still got paid for it. besides, those who are angry are those who bet their money on pacman, that's just the way it is

Well let us not get too excited as I know they are doing this in support of Pacquiao but then we will see how the boxing will act on this. I have not seen any results from the past that reversed their decision when they file protest. But if this will turn in favor of Pacquiao then good for us then.

Thanks...Actually that was the opinion of other supporters that, protest will be futile since in boxing history no judges' decision has been reversed favoring protest.
Let us see, how this controversy goes on...

it was mentioned in an morning show that the judges thought pacquiao would win the fight but they were also surprised to find out that when the scores were tabulated, bradley emerged as the winner. weird. how come they wouldn't know who will win, they were the one who gave the scores.
also, one international judge mentioned that he knew the three judges and they were credible because they were once his mentors. he said that there are times wherein some judges feel pity to a boxer and give the score to him instead of the deserving one, and after every round, judges would submit their scorecards for tabulation. in the case of manny and bradley's fight, this international judge said that what might have happen was, the judges gave scores to bradley during the first few rounds thinking that it will not affect the whole score after the battle ends. sadly, during the few final rounds, bradley did a good job, therefore the judges gave him the higher score. thus, when the results were tallied, bradley won. i just don't understand why this international judge said that some judges in the ring sometimes feel pity to a boxer so they give him the score, what's the use of them being a judge if they don't base their score on the actual event but just based it on their feelings, isn't that just unfair?
