But when does the "house" guy get robbed? It would make more sense if Bradley dominated and Manny got the decision.
Wild (or not that wild) conspiracy theories: Arum wants to avoid a Floyd fight (meh); some talk about late money in on Bradley so some serious gamblers bought the fight, etc.
The whole thing is strange. I expect the "house" guy to get the corruption, that's what's right (wrong) with boxing.
