First, we had the 3 blind mice judge the fight between Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight and they judged the fight a split decision.
Now, you have the Keystone Cops of Nevada, the Attorney General's office, say nothing was criminal with the judging of the fight. But yet, the Keystone Cops never questioned the judges and only questioned the referee, who had no role in scoring the fight.
From the LVRJ: The state attorney general has determined there was no wrongdoing by
the officials in the June 9 WBO welterweight title fight between Manny
Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley at the MGM Grand Garden that saw Bradley
upset Pacquiao in a 12-round split decision.
But that will be of
little solace to Pacquiao's legions of fans and many neutral boxing
observers who think the judges robbed Pacquiao.
In a letter
Tuesday to Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, Attorney General Catherine Cortez
Masto indicated that after chief investigator Dale Liebherr interviewed
members of the Nevada Athletic Commission and the Nevada Gaming Control
Board, no evidence of criminal activity or impropriety was found on the
part of the officials, including judges Duane Ford, Jerry Roth and CJ
Ross. Ford and Ross had Bradley winning 115-113, and Roth had Pacquiao
ahead, 115-113.
"Displeasure with the subjective decisions of
sporting officials is not a sufficient basis for this office to initiate
a criminal investigation," Cortez Masto told Arum in the letter.
"Unless evidence beyond mere displeasure is forthcoming, this matter
will be considered closed. While there may be strong disagreement with
the decision, the exercise of professional judgment by individuals
officiating at a sporting event is not by itself a criminal
investigation." http://www.lvrj.com/sports/state-attorney-general-supportive-of-pacquiao-bradley-officials-161307105.html
First, the Attorney General of Nevada is a joke. She is a political hack who filed false charges against the Lt. Governor, Brian Krolicki so he would not run against Sen. Harry the "Coward and Crybaby" Reid. so, AG Catherine Cortez-Masto could not conduct an honest investigation if her life depending on it.
Then, you don't question the judges in question? What kind of investigation is that? Cortez-Matso is the Vince McMahon of Nevada- nothing to see here and she is in Bob Arums pocket because of the potential huge redo of the fight in November.
Unless the FBI gets involved because of fraud, this is probably as far as this investigation will go. What a shame because Las Vegas needs boxing but boxing doesn't need Las Vegas and I think Las Vegas will lose fights because of this act of stupidity or criminal activity in the Pacquiao-Bradley fight.

Nevada AG "NAG" Masto and her boy Dale Liebherr are corrupt scum and must be removed from office now. See the protests: CSI: Carson City - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4juUJdlrn8 KOLO news - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbk0rKPnbfs A boycott Nevada Petition would be very good. Nevada sucks.
