Nam vs Garcia was pretty bad. So was Bisping vs Hamil. Same for Kampmann vs Sanchez.....these 3 were the ones that popped into memory immediately. It happens in all judged sports, as Flexin posted.

Here is my opinion (conspiracy theory!):
Boxers that aren't HW and aren't named Mayweather or Pacquiao don't sell PPV's. Win or lose, Pacquiao will still sell PPV's, regardless of opponent. I don't think the same can be said for Bradley as a main draw.
Add in that Mayweather is currently locked up for a bit, and there you have it. You have to have Pacquiao on a PPV, and what better sell than the revenge factor? Boxing is still a business.
