It Is Really Easy To Dupe People On Facebook

An obviously fake Facebook page claiming to be Timothy Bradley, Jr.'s made a post claiming that he would return his belt to Manny Pacquiao following Saturday's controversial decision. But thousands of people bought into the ruse.

Around 7 p.m. last night, a Facebook page claiming to be Timothy Bradley, Jr.'s posted this update.

The page followed up this morning with an update:

LOOK AT THIS OLD, SLIMY GREASEBALL IN THE MIDDLE. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHO HE IS, THE NAME IS BOB ARUM. HE IS A LIAR, FRAUD, MONEY HUNGRY SCUMBAG. HE WORKS AS CEO OF TOP RANK AND PROMOTES FIGHTERS LIKE ME AND MANNY PACQUIAO. AFTER TELLING HIM ABOUT MY PLANS TO RETURN THE BELT TO PACQUIAO, HE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH MONEY TO BE MADE IN THE NEXT REMATCH AND THAT I SHOULD HOLD ONTO IT. WELL U KNOW WHAT FUCK YOU BOB ARUM I AM DONE WITH TOP RANK. BOB ARUM IS NO LONGER MY PROMOTER THE BELT WILL BE HANDED PERSONALLY TO PACQUIAO. WHETHER I RETIRE OR NOT, WHO KNOWS. I HOPE I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL, AND ONCE AGAIN A BIG FUCK U TO BOB ARUM. UPDATE: After this heated argument, I have decided to be signed by legendary Boxing Promoter and Trainer Draxor (45+ years of experience, trained and managed Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones Jr and other boxing icons, is not all about $$ - has pledged to donate 15% of all profits made by his promotional company) Check his page out — with Draxor.
