    If the decision gets overturned, it would result to a number of things:

    1. It officially shows that the judges decisions are in error thus exposing their incompetence hence them judging important fights are curtailed.

    2. Whoever orchestrated this shenanigan most likely has a huge amount put into the fight and may have to return the winnings. (However, I'm not sure about this since I don't bet. Discard if winnings are non-returnable once awarded.)

    3. It will make the boxing world aware that such things will not be tolerated and will actively be contested by the boxing fans and the general public.

    4. It will make the corrupt think twice about pulling this stunt again.

    5. It may rejuvinate some confidence in boxing and bring back some of the fans who were lost.

    6. It will resurrect the possibility of a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight which will still never happen.

    Giving it a little more credibility is certainly a victory but really I think its just too far gone beyond getting some credibility back. We need an overhaul

    But an overhaul is not doable right now. It will take time. What is in the process is the petition. We have to start somewhere and this can be a good start.

    When I saw that petition, there were about 19,800 signers. As of now, there are 20,341. You can check it out and see how fast the numbers climb up.
