July 2 (UPI) -- The world's best athletes watched Manny Pacquiao lose to Jeff Horn Sunday and strongly disagreed with the decision.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, boxer Lennox Lewis, NBA veteran Mike Miller and many other sports stars couldn't believe the final call. Actors Samuel L. Jackson and Marlon Wayans were also vocal in their disapproval.
"#PacquiaoHorn," Bryant wrote for the caption of a GIF of Ice Cube with a shocked look on his face.
Rodgers was a little more to-the-point, calling the sport "rigged."

This is what's wrong with boxing. Horn was very game but I'm hard pressed to see how he could have won that fight by any stretch! #PacHorn
