Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley: Irish betting company refunds bets

After a controversial split decision victory for Timothy Bradley over former WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, a major betting service in Ireland is returning all bets made on Pacquiao, calling them "justice payouts."

 

Paddy Power, Ireland's largest telephone betting service, issued a statement saying, "If you had placed a bet on Manny to win in a pre-fight outright or on points, that money is now back in your account. We hear you!”

 

The decision not only affects the title holder, but likely has a larger impact on a possible future fight between Pacquiao and undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr.
