LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao said a right shoulder injury prevented him from fighting at his best in his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Nevada officials also denied Pacquiao's request to take an anti-inflammatory shot in his dressing room before the fight Saturday night. The chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission said the ruling was Pacquiao's fault for not mentioning his injury sooner.


Pacquiao, trainer Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum were vague on the details of the injury, but confirmed that they considered postponing the bout a few weeks ago.

"I thought he fought a courageous fight under all the circumstances, and I'm very proud of what he accomplished tonight," Arum said.

Pacquiao got hurt some time after mid-March, and Arum said the injury was "the same as the one Kobe Bryant had."

Bryant tore his rotator cuff in January, ending his season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Arum didn't make it clear whether that was the injury he was referencing, but said Pacquiao consulted the same doctor that treated Bryant.

Arum said Pacquiao's camp thought he would be allowed to have an anti-inflammatory shot because he had similar treatment during training. The shots also had been approved by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

But Arum said Top Rank filed incorrect paperwork about the injury, and the Nevada commission ruled against the request for a shot.



Pacquiao's camp apparently hoped the fighter could compete without the shot. Despite Pacquiao's limitations, Arum said he didn't regret putting Pacquiao into the fight at less than full strength.


Mayweather concurred with his former promoter, noting that he fought with injuries to both of his arms and hands.

The post-fight disclosure of Pacquiao's injury adds a legitimate angle to discussion of a rematch.

Pacquiao demonstrably fought with only a portion of his usual punch output, and his inability to use his right hand consistently made it easier for Mayweather to control the fight.

Roach was proud of his fighter's persistence through injury, but frustrated with Pacquiao's ability to implement his game plan, particularly his inability to throw a right hook.

"It was a very close fight," Roach said. "We'd love to do it again, but hopefully that's in the future."

Mayweather agreed with Arum, pointing out that he fought with injuries?
What? lol

Mayweather had injuries too?
Mayweather agreed Pac had injuries?

I watched the fight and I never once saw Pacquiao in any kind of pain, nor did I see him favoring his shoulder. If he was so hurt why was there no obvious sign?

I understand him being a fighter, and many times they don't admit that they lose out of pride or whatever, but this is kind of dumb.

[Cinci Champ]

sorry manny but all fighters fight thru injury this is honestly pathetic and if anyone watched the post fight press conference u could see manny was being told what to say. im sorry but if this waqs anyone other then manny they would be destroyed and honestly hes humble as hell when hes winning but when he losses wow do things change

[CANELOLUJAH]

STFU, you lost.

[KillaMane26]

Manny is making himself look really bad right now.....ah man....now we have to hear Stephen A SMith, PAulie mouth..

[LHK]

I don't know what Manny is complaining about. He has spent most of his career fighting with only one hand.

[Szef]

cringe worthy....

Oh great...here we go again. People moan about Marquez being a crybaby and making excuses. Pac fans obviously accusing him the most, but every time Pac has lost, he has come up with excuse after excuse after excuse, many bordering on the complete absurd.

You could write a comedy sketch based on his excuses.

He was throwing the right hook with regularity and serious power throughout the entire fight without the slightest look of tightness, discomfort or anything resembling an injury. What a crock. In fact, he threw the right hook over and over and over as a freakin great winging haymaker!

It even says that Pac fought with less punch output than usual. Were both arms badly injured? Cause he threw the right hook as much as the left, so according to this ridiculous report, he must have had two broken arms....nothing to do with Floyd making him reset, keeping him off balance and forcing him to fight at a slow pace. When Pac opened up, he never had any trouble throwing any punch in his arsenal.

****ing ****s.

[deathofaclown]

That's strange because it looked absolutely fine when you were in the dressing room before the fight whipping left and right hooks like a prime Jack Dempsey....

Must have hurt it during the ring walk...i blame Buboy.
