Was PAcquioa robbed?

After the much awaited Bradley versus Pacquiao, boxing fans all over the world seems to have one reaction to the split decision result of the said fight- split decision in favour of Bradley. The event that was held in MGM grand last Saturday night happened to be a main event in HBO pay per view. What happened to Pacquiao during the fight?
After 12 rounds of fighting each other, Roth scored 115-113 in favour of the people’s champ Manny Pacquiao while the other two judges Ross and Ford tallied 115-113 in favour of Bradley. This is after Pacquiao had connected the most (34% compared to Bradley’s 19%) while at the same time landed more power shots (38.5% to Bradley’s 27.7%). SO what happened to the judges’ scorecards? It seems that everyone give the credits to Pacquiao except for the two judges who favoured Bradley.
With the WBO welterweight champion removed from Pacquiao, It seems that everyone is shouting for a possible rematch? Even if top rank promoter says how disgusted he is with the result, it is still apparent that he will be the man who will gain more if there will be a rematch between the two fighters.
