Bob Arum Demands Investigation Into Pacquiao vs. Bradley; Rematch Temporarily on Hold

(Timothy Bradley answers questions from his wheelchair victory chariot after "defeating" Manny Pacquiao by split-decision.) Following the monumental screwjob in Saturday night's Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley welterweight title match — a fight that veteran HBO boxing commentator Jim Lampley called the single worst decision he's ever seen — promoter Bob Arum declared that would be no rematch between the two fighters unless Nevada's attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto launched an investigation into a possible conspiracy. As he told Yahoo!'s Kevin Iole: "I want to investigate whether there was any undue influence, whether the [Nevada Athletic Commission] gave any particular instruction and how they came to this conclusion...the whole sport is in an uproar. People are going crazy. If this was a subjective view that each of [the judges] honestly held, OK. I would still disagree, but then we're off the hook in terms of there being no conspiracy. But there needs to be an independent investigation because it strains credulity that an event everybody saw as so one-sided one way all three judges saw it as close. It strains credulity." If I was Manny Pacquiao, I'd have no problem refusing the rematch in the first place. He beat Bradley, everybody saw him beat Bradley, and he gains nothing from pursuing a rematch outside of fulfilling a "revenge" storyline made possible by [ALLEGEDLY] corrupt judges. And speaking of [ALLEGEDLY] corrupt judges, here's judge Duane Ford trying to justify his 115-113 tally of the fight in the challenger's favor:
