Like anyone here is going to be able to see a tear on an MRI.

Gtfoh!!...we know the prices and we're not buying this bull**** shoulder injury...Roach himself is on record saying he would NEVER put Pac in a fight that he felt like Pac couldn't win...damage control in full motion..these guys think boxing fans are dumb...I blame the Pac fans for this ****ery!!...they bought all that bs those con artist mutha****as been selling just because they ride for Pac...fraudulent ass dudes!! Smh

Roach was taking selfies and betting tom ford shoes before the fight but his fighter injured?!

That does not mean Manny was lying it just means Roach is an a**hole.

Just remember when Floyd says he hurt his hand and thats why he couldnt go for the KO....I dont remember him getting the benefit of the doubt from pac fans....The Hypocrisy! What about the shhhh you guys talk about JMM when he does this after a fight? Manny is not what he claims to be, so with two good shoulders he was still getting schooled by Floyd in the first three rounds. sonny liston also had a shoulder injury in the first fight vs Ali GTFOH, no one thinks manny is any competition for Floyd. But if Floyd would've just stood still and let manny swing away his shoulder would've been fine, lol. Maybe it was because of all the awkward angles he was trying to throw punches from....

Biggest fight of your life and you don't speak up or postpone it even with an injury? Hell even Floyd had sense enough to postpone the Marquez fight due to injury and that fight wasn't even this important. Horrible move by Pac's team.

He'll, even Tyson postponed his fight due to jury.

Floyd could of KO'd Pac, but you can tell he showed him mercy at the end. One more round and it would of been unavoidable, Pac would of gotten KO'd IMO

You've just basically stated that that isn't the case.

How can that be the case of he could throw right hooks?

He was allowed to take the medication during training, just not during the fight.

Furthermore, there were reports among all boxing media members that reliable sources said Pacquaio had been injured during sparring and is taking time off training. You know this is a fact and it adds to the credibility of the injury being legit. You've also got his sparring partner backing up the claim, for whatever that is worth.

Postponing the biggest financial match in boxing history is ludicrious, it'd be moved to a worser date than the mexican holiday, thousands of people would lose out on money for booked accommodation, expenses and everything else involved. There is also the risk Mayweather cancels the fight, claiming Pacquaio 'never wanted the fight'.

Cancelling a fight of this magnitude is just not on the menu, otherwise I'm sure Floyd would have done the same with his injured hands, but the difference is he was and always has been able to take the numbing agent in his hands before his fights, so it makes no difference to him.

Pacquaio and his team were under the assumption they would be able to take the numbing shot they'd been using previously on the night of the fight, thus the immense pain the injury causes would be nullified during the fight. Instead, he was denied it, hurt it in round 4 again during his combination and the rest is history.

As a final point, I also believe Mayweather and his camp knew about the leaked injury, and that was the case for Mayweather intentionally clinching and pulling on his arm early on in the fight, which everyone can see.

I'd like to see a rematch, it makes financial sense and could set up a potential trilogy. He gave other fighters rematches, heck he gave Maidana one. Mayweather would be the heavy favorite, but is there anyone honestly more worthy of a rematch than Pacquaio? Let's not be ******, the fight makes sense, even if the fight was a dud and Pacquaio was delusional about thinking he won.

He never came close, Pac actually wobbled Floyd more.

[bojangles1987]

There's your rematch angle, for those doubting it. They'll push this until they can justify it, because a Pac rematch is still the biggest fight out there for Mayweather.

Ugh.

[GRUSTLER]

First he said he thought he won the fight but after said he was injured and then that he thought he was winning and took his foot off of the gas. Do people really love and respect themselves enough to really believe this horse $h!t?
