I think it's pretty clear that Mayweather isn't going to fight Pac-Man, so this gives them an opportunity to draw more from two fighters who just happen to be promoted by the same guy. Bob Arum is absolute scum. He always has been, and always will be. He's a former US Attorney who wormed his way out of indictments for drug trafficking and fixing fights. He sacrificed his underlings in order to avoid prosecution. The rigged judging will be covered up by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, with a possible removal of the offending judges from future fights (after they received their early retirement bonuses), and the hype for a rematch will begin. This will make money for Arum, the fighters, and Vegas. Everybody wins financially, and it's clear that's all that matters. Boxing is as predictable as pro wresting now. Anyone who buys into it is fooling themselves.

I also want to add that fixed fights may not be as routine as they used to be in boxing, but fixed BIG fights are way more common now. As much as the boxing world loves to knock MMA, at least it has been cleaned up a bit since the days of alleged fixes by the Yakuza-owned PRIDE Fighting Championship in Japan. Then there was the Kimbo Slice fiasco in Strikeforce. Since then, the suspicious fights in MMA are few and far between.
