Phnom Penh: Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen admitted on Monday he won’t make good on a $5,000 bet he lost on the recent bout between Floyd Mayweather and regional hero Manny Pacquiao because he was so incensed by the match outcome.


The 62-year-old strongman delivered a nine minute rebuke of judges who ruled Mayweather had squarely beaten Pacquiao in Las Vegas on Saturday.


Echoing many of Pacquiao’s Filipino compatriots who have also cried foul, Hun Sen accused the American officials of being biased towards Mayweather in the $400 million fight.


Hun Sen said he had made a $5,000 bet with an official on the outcome, a bet he would no longer honour.
