Saw this fight and Manny won by a landslide, Harold Lederman had the fight 11-1 Pacquiao. There was absolutely no way Bradley won more than 2 rounds of the fight. He even looked like he lost after the final bell in the 12th because he knew he lost. He was hesitant when asked if he thought he won the fight and said he would have to look at the tape to see if he really won.
A couple of things:
1. Lederman called out a couple of the judges prior to the fight mentioning they were bad choices for the fight....he ended up being correct.
2. Arum acted surprised calling the decision "outrageous" but the cameras showed him embracing Bradley with a big smile on his face because he knew he was going to make a killing on the rematch which he even was quoted as saying "I am going to make a lot of money on the rematch but the decision was outrageous". This was planned no doubt about it, he probably betted against Manny at 3.5 to 1 odds and made a boat load of cash.

I didn't see it but I have yet to see anybody who said Bradley won. In fact Bradley after the fight said he would re-watch it to make sure he really won.
HE apparently posted a pic on twitter a few days ago of the Bradley-Pacquiao 2 poster including the November date and when tix would go on sale. People essentially saying the fix was in and Bradley knew.
My guess is that the promoters figure there is one fight people wanted to see, Mayweather and Manny weren't coming together, so if Manny loses to Bradley, that creates pull for the rematch?
Lederman apparently had it 119-111 and the ESPN guy had it 118-110 for Manny. The ESPN guy said as soon as he saw the first score was 115-113 he knew something terrible was happening because it wasn't close to that.
