ARUM ASKS NEVADA ATTORNEY GENERAL TO INVESTIGATE BRADLEY-PACQUIAO SCORING

PRESS RELEASE: Bob Arum, Chairman and CEO of Top Rank, said today that he has submitted a formal request to the Nevada Attorney General’s office for a full and complete inquiry into the  scoring of Saturday’s WBO welterweight championship fight between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley.  Bradley won a controversial split decision, dethroning Pacquiao on scores of 115-113, 115-113 and 113-115, in a fight most ringside media and fans thought Pacquiao won by a wide margin.  "The public has a right to know. The fighters have a right to know," said Arum. "The only way to restore fans' confidence in boxing is by letting an independent body investigate every detail of the fight no matter how big or small. Sunshine never hurt anyone."
