So I see that no one in the mainstream media has remembered...

Tonight, Manny Pacquiao returns to the scene of the crime to attempt to avenge it.

Approximately two years ago, he faced Timothy Bradley for his WBO belt, largely won the fight on ring generalship, and was robbed in one of the most blatant rig-jobs in the recent history of boxing.

This sent Pacquiao's career on a largely-downward spiral, with, instead of the mega-fight with Mayweather which will never happen now, he gets a fourth fight with Marquez, who, losing the fight badly, knocks Pacquiao the fuck out with the literal dream shot, a one-punch KTFO while almost being stopped late in the round.

Then, an all-but-arranged fight in Macao for the Asian/Chinese fan-base, and now a fight with Bradley...

... which was basically shown to be foreshadowed by the promoters when Bradley came out in the first fight's press conference with posters for the second fight.

Or did all of you:  ESPN, Showtime, whoever else covering the fight, forget that inconvenient truth?

There was too much heat after the first fight to go ahead with the original date, but, move it eighteen months and no one cares, right?

Oh, and a note to Bob Arum:

You ever consider that the reason "a 12-1 [the odds that Floyd Mayweather loses his "bout" in May] fight" is on the side of the building that this is being held in is the same reason that this fight tonight is taking place?

Mayweather owns Vegas.

The Money Team is the New Vegas Mafia.

If I had lottery money, I'd probably put some down on Bradley to have Pacquiao screwed again.
