Carlos Padilla reportedly cheated to help MannyPacquiao get a win during a 2000 bout against Nedal Hussein by giving him an extra long count after he was knocked down in the fourth round
Pacquiao went on to win by TKO in the 10th round.
“They told me, ‘Carlos, please … this is an important fight for Manny Pacquiao because the winner will have the chance to fight for the world championship,’” Padilla. “So, you know the opponent, Hussein, or whatever his name was … So in the seventh round, I think, Manny got knocked down, I thought he was going to get up, but his eyes were cross-eyed. I am Filipino, and everybody watching the fight is Filipino, so I prolonged the count. I know how to do it.
“Honestly, after watching the referee video, it really hit a nerve. I was upset for a full 24 hours,” Hussein said. “It’s not the fact that he said what he said. It’s more because we already knew it. But the way he said it with a smirk and a smile like he was proud of what he had done, like the depth of corruption, it’s obviously in his veins and his heart. So he had obviously done it before because it was nothing to him.
