Padilla, from the Philippines like Pacquiao, officiated a bout between the future boxing legend and Nedal Hussein.
In round four, Hussein scored a knockdown and the ref admitted to giving PacMan almost DOUBLE the amount of time to beat the ten-count.
In a now-scrubbed interview with the WBC, Padilla said: "Manny was not a world champion yet, he was only good in the Philippines.
"That fight, I'm about to go and leave the following day and they told me, 'Carlos, please - this is an important fight for Pacquiao, because the winner will have the chance to fight for the world championship'.
“So, you know the opponent, Hussein, or whatever his name was. He is taller, younger, stronger, and a dirty fighter, managed by Jeff Fenech.IMPORTANT!
