If they did fix it, why not fix it so that Mosley won? With those long odds they could have made far more than the £50m touted for the Pac fight!
There was actually quite a bit of bad blood in there, with a couple cheap and cheeky shots from Mayweather. Both clearly wanted to knock the other out.
Not fixed. Move on.
Although one judge did score the fight 120 - 110, which seems a bit odd seeing Mosely definatley got the 2nd round.

I'm sure I heard a 120-110 in there somewhere, I think it was the last judge. I'll have to check again. Clearly wouldn't have changed the result, but it stuck out at the time.

Just checked, was 119-109 twice and 118-108 on the other. My ears are a bit broken clearly

To reply to the title I just don't know. I did feel it was a bit funny that Shane Mosley who usually is well known for getting his man out of there quickly when they are hurt and for finishing very strong down the stretch couldn't do either. I mean I have never seen Mayweather get hit like that. His legs completely gone and him simply being out of it for well over a half a round. Then for him to sweep every single round after that? What the hell happened to Mosley ? He didn't get hit with anything to not make him think twice about coming in for the kill. He simply held on to Mayweather after he tagged him almost like he was holding him up and then his excuse was "I tightened up". Larry Merchant said "Shane you have been fighting for sixteen years and you tightened up?".
When I watched it the first time I seen Shane lackadazicul and out of gas in about the fourth round. Mouth wide open and slouched in his corner. The only thing that came to my mind was them damn blood tests and surprise UT's. I kept wrapping my mind around it.How the hell could someone who was so good at getting his man out of there just suddenly give up. So I asked a few people what they thought about the fight. Granted these are not the brilliant Saddo posters but fighters. When I asked these 3 people. They all said the same thing. "This fight seemed funny probably fixed". Truth is I don't know myself but when millions of dollars are at stake and the potential all-time grossing fight is waiting in the background one could just never know. I would never rule out a fix.
