Boxer Manny Pacquiao feels like he won his WBO welterweight title match with Timothy Bradley on Saturday and let a TMZ camera know when they stopped him on the streets.

Pacquiao lost a controversial split decision to Bradley when stats showed he threw and landed more punches. Bradley won 115-113 on two scorecards, while losing on the third by the same margin.

“I did my best,” Pacquiao said after the fight.  ”I guess my best wasn’t good enough.”

When asked by TMZ if the judges were unfair when they crowned Bradley the new champion, Pacquiao said. ”That’s their decision, dude … hard to change.”

He then added, “I respect that decision, but we know in our hearts.”

    The day after the stunning split decision that gave Timothy Bradley a controversial victory over Manny Pacquiao, an Irish betting site is refunding Pacquiao betters in what it calls a “justice payout.”

    Paddy Power, Ireland’s largest telephone betting service, issued this statement on its blog on Sunday:

    It was a result that stunned the world, even by modern professional boxing standards.

    Last night in Las Vegas the brilliant Filipino Manny Pacquiao lost his WBO welterweight belt to Timothy Bradley in a controversial split-decision defeat.

    With that Paddy Power has rolled out one of our famous Justice Payouts. 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!

    On Sunday, Floyd Mayweather Sr. also blasted the decision, saying that the judges of the Pacquiao-Bradley fight need to “find a new job.”

    “I feel like Pacquiao won the fight but I am not going to sugarcoat nothing. The last fight belonged to Marquez,” Mayweather said while referring to Pacquiao’s majority decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez this past November. “This one belonged to Pacquiao. I’m calling it like it is,” Mayweather continued.

    The boxing world reacted with collective shock when the judges handed the split decision to Bradley. That decision came despite Pacquiao landing almost 100 more punches throughout the fight. He also landed more punches in 10 of 12 rounds.

    “Can you believe that? Unbelievable,” said Bob Arum, the fight’s promoter. “I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, `I tried hard but I couldn’t beat the guy.”‘

    Timothy Bradley’s upset decision over Manny Pacquiao last night surprised many observers. Count Floyd Mayweather Sr. among them. The father of Pacquiao’s will-they-won’t-they rival was in the stands for the big bout, telling Boxing Scene’s Ryan Burton that Pacquiao deserved to win the fight.

    “I feel like Pacquiao won the fight but I am not going to sugarcoat nothing. The last fight belonged to Marquez,” Mayweather said while referring to Pacquiao’s majority decision win over Juan Manuel Marquez this past November. “This one belonged to Pacquiao. I’m calling it like it is,” Mayweather continued.

    Mayweather continued, criticizing the ringside judges, saying “whoever these judges was, they need to find a new job.”

    The junior Floyd Mayweather has repeatedly challenged Pacquiao to a fight, which would pit the two fighters widely considered to be the best in the middle weights against each other.

    WBO welterweight beltholder Manny Pacquiao has settled on WBO junior Welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley as his next opponent, but terms with Bradley still need to be worked out before the contract is signed, according SI.com’s Chris Mannix.

    Top Rank CEO Bob Arum met with Michael Koncz, Pacquiao’s advisor, and Cameron Dunkin, Bradley’s manager last weekend in San Antonio, Texas where Arum was promoting the fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Marco Antonio Rubio.

    Arum’s plan is to match up the winner of the Pacquiao-Bradley fight against the winner of the Marquez-Peterson fighter later in November.

    Pacquiao’s fighting record stands at 54-3-2 while Bradley is undefeated at 28-0.
