LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Until last weekend, it was billed the ‘Fight of the Century.’ But days after the Pacquiao-Mayweather welterweight fight unfolded in Las Vegas, it is now being called names like ‘Scam of the Century,’ and ‘Scandal of the Century.’
Today, in an unprecedented move, the Nevada Athletic Commission voided the unanimous decision win by Mayweather over Pacquiao.
“There’s just too many missteps leading to and during the fight and we cannot sit here and just do nothing,” Commission Chairman Francisco Aguilar told The Adobo Chronicles.
In voiding the fight results, Aguilar presented a laundry list of what went wrong:
- The Pacquiao camp did not disclose the Filipino boxer’s rotator cuff injury in the pre-fight medical questionnaire.
- The Pacquiao camp alleged that Manny was denied a legal injection to relieve the pain from his injured shoulder.
- In addition to filling out the medical questionnaire, both Pacquiao and Mayweather should have been examined by an independent medical doctor.
- While both boxers weighed under 147 pounds during the official weigh-in on Friday, Pacquiao and Mayweather weighed way over the welterweight maximum weight on Saturday.
- The judges’ summary scoresheet was not filled out correctly, casting doubt on whether it was Mayweather or Pacquiao who scored higher.
- There were more hugs than punches during the 12-round fight, especially by Mayweather.
- Both camps violated a new commission rule that no celebrities are allowed as part of the boxers’ official entourage. Mayweather had Justin Bieber in his entourage while Pacquiao had late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
- Three national anthems were sung during the fight — U.S., Philippine and Mexican national anthems. The singing of the Mexican anthem misled many spectators and television viewers to think that Pacquiao was Mexican.
In addition, Aguilar said that numerous lawsuits against Pacquiao, the boxing promoter and even the Nevada Athletic Commission have started to emerge, and “it is the commission’s responsibility to protect and preserve the integrity of professional boxing.”

48-0 man aren’t boxing bout wins but a track and field records. He’s the only boxer I’ve seen that wins by out running his opponents not out punching. He chosed that style because he knew his limit in pound for pound bone crashing fight. I thought boxing before is mixed with wrestling and swagging but has ballet in it.that to floyd his greatest contribution. THE BEST EVER….LOL
