Pacquiao, who fell to 54-4-2, landed a greater percentage of both punches and power punches but Bradley claimed the title.
"I did my best but my best wasn't good enough," Pacquiao said after the fight.
After the fight, well-known trainer and commentator Teddy Atlas tweeted that "boxing is a corrupt sport."
