The Philippines is facing a destructive typhoon and fumblingly handling a territorial dispute issue against communist China. So here comes popular election lawyer cum impeachment trial analyst cum boxing enthusiast, Romulo Macalintal (Attorney Mac) to offer some temporary reprieve.
There's no doubt the entire Philippines believes Pacquiao was robbed of a victory against Bradley. Some folks seem to just want to take things to a higher level.
Macalintal filed a seven-page complaint addressed to Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto. He expressed that he filed the complaint “as a boxing fan or enthusiast whose right to a fair and credible verdict in any sporting event, like the millions of boxing fans and enthusiasts, is entitled to the protection by the state where the said event is held.”
According to the lawyer, the complaint may be treated as a class suit representing boxing fans whose overwhelming voices of disapproval deserve to be heard.
The complaint was mailed on June 17 (Philippine time) with the attorney general's office expected to receive it a couple of days later.
Macalintal went to Las Vegas on June 3 to personally witness the Pacquiao-Bradley bout. His assertion is that the decision given by the judges was unfair and not reflective of the actual fight that took place in the MGM arena.
Macalintal said that he did not inform nor did he consult Manny Pacquiao about his actions. Maybe he wanted to skip the possible "Biblical" discussions.
