Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Feels He Was Sabotaged By The NSAC

They are a bigger joke than Manny .

Suck it up all the whiny Pac farts .

I knew it would be bad but damn not this bad lol. The respectable pac fans are stepping away from these morons. And the rest are still crying or haven't even posted since the fight

I just don't understand why Pac, and we, are seemingly not allowed to discuss this. I've made this point before on this site (I can't remember the fight) but if you were a fighter and you had, say, a bum shoulder, which is then compounded by not being able to take a numbing shot just before the fight due to a seemingly admin issue, wouldn't YOU mention this after you lost? Or would you hold it to your grave to remain "classy"?

I find it interesting hearing these things about camp that we were not aware of. We all remember when sparring was cancelled. Now we know why.

Again, Floyd fans got what they wanted. They got the bragging rights. Floyd made 9 figures. Relax guys

If the shoe were on the other foot, and this was Floyd Mayweather making these excuses, your tune would be extremely different. There would be pages upon pages of him getting roasted. The site would be shutdown over the roasting.

Pacquiao makes these pathetic excuses though and he gets a pass.

It's funny. The good guy has turned out to be the bad guy. And the bad guy turns out to be the good guy.

The story gets more and more ridiculous by the hour.

He said the doctor told him to rest his shoulder for anywhere between 30-40 days, which made him even consider seeking a postponement of the fight.

Pacquiao said he considered postponing the fight, but opted not to after the USADA approved the use of anti-inflammatory injections of drugs that were legal.

“I didn’t want to dismay the fans that it was so close with some three weeks before the fight,” said Pacquiao, who spoke in Filipino to better express his feelings. “We all talked. Freddie, even Buboy who even cried... if I can’t, we talked about it. But if it heals, if it recovers, it’s okay, let’s just not use it in training then on the night of the fight, it will be injected with the numbing agent. It’s not a steroid, but it’s legal here, for numbing. The problem is we were sabotaged.”

So a medical doctor supposedly told Manny not to use his shoulder for 30-40 days, but Manny figured he could train for the biggest fight of his career one-handed and then miraculously use his injured shoulder to great effect on fight night because Freddie Roach and Buboy thought it was a good idea?

If this is true, Pacquiao is the definition of the word fool.

Pacquiao left Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon, returning to Los Angeles for another MRI. He said that even if his shoulder requires surgery, it would only sideline him 2 to 3 months.

Bob Arum said that Pacquiao's injury was similar to Kobe Bryant's. Kobe Bryant is expected to be out for around nine months following his surgery.

Rotator cuff surgery is no joke. Usually you're in a sling for a month and a half and have to do three to four months of physical therapy.

It will die down

I dunno, I find it kind of interesting. Not to excuse the loss (he would have lost anyway - it's not like it was his killer left hand was unusable) but it does give some more context to the fight. This is the dude who basically took it on the chin when he got jobbed in the first Bradley fight, so when he talks about this injury, I'm inclined to believe him (on top of sparring being cancelled and a sparring partner confirming his shoulder got hurt).

I know people on this site get bent out of shape when fighters make excuses - but if he had a bum shoulder, is it so bad he mentions it? Does he pretend it never happened just to appear classy?

The thing regarding the vitamins and water is kinda weird too. I would like to hear more on that.

Finally, someone with some common sense!

[SugarRaRobinson]

These excuses r coming a mile a minute and they're actually making me dizzy . If they put one more f..king excuse on the wire , and I pass out , I'm suing .

Manny Pacquiao mentioned his right shoulder went out in round four after his big flurry had Mayweather in trouble.


When pac was T'ing off, I can even see that he could have finished floyd right there in the 4th, but when he was about to, he suddenly bizzarely stopped his relentless attack off the ropes.
Now we know that right shoulder tore up during that flurry.

Pac mentioned that He couldn't throw a power hook or power jab after the fourth.

His right shoulder injury was aggravated when he threw a barrage of punches during the 4th round, and from then on he was nursing pain till the 12 the round.

Pac mentioned that he was only at "60%" on fight night but said he still felt like he won.

With all the stacks against him he powered through, and some experts even said he won it with one arm doing it. Now that's impressive.

The heart of a true warrior. Stand tall Manny!

He stop throwing because punches was hitting his arms none of them got threw after he stepped back he fired another combo before Floyd return a right and went back in middle of ring I guess pained went down to his legs he had zero movement and just stayed in front of Floyd whole night

This is $&& bs that this shoulder thing is tarnishing this fight. It's ALL Pac and his people own's fault. If his shoulder was torn I doubt a shot would prevent pain from returning when you are throwing punches. If they knew three weeks before it was torn they should have postponed it. People feeling cheated by this fight should blame Pac who had no business being out there if he was injured. And while the 4th was by far his best round (I thought he was on the verge of stopping Floyd), he had another flurry later that wasn't very effective but he was still throwing both hands. Never did I see them working on or mentioning anything about his shoulder between rounds. Never did anyone notice Manny having an injured shoulder. Usually you can tell a one handed fighter. Something seemed wrong with Manny but I think it was Mayweathers jab and counter right that made it seem something was wrong.

Exactly, Buboy apparently even pleaded with him and Roach to postpone the fight until September. But Pac thought he could fight through the pain, painkillers are only temporary, while you are using them they do not heal the injury they take relief away, you are actaully doiing more damage by using them because you cant feel the pain threshold.

Floyd was forced into a fight with a bad shoulder but he was lucky to get a gift it was the Castillo fight, Floyd had an injury I believe it was a bad shoulder going in and he couldn't function properly so he gave a rematch and was able to out box Castillo.

When Floyd was in control he did the smart thing, he postponed the Marquez fight when his rib was injured, he said its about fighting smarter not harder. Postponing the fight wouldn't have let the fans down, the tickets were not even put on sale until the last week lol, if anything it would have been better pushing it back to September.

This is Team Pacs own fault, should have just postponed it, if that injury is worse and requires surgery he will be out for a year. And Floyd will be retired.

Crazy how he stopped sparring for weeks, this was the ******est training camp ever, Pac was under prepared, had few sparring rounds, had a horrible gameplan and he was going in against a guy of Floyd Mayweather class?

I could tell Pac was hurt, because something was fishy at his strategy he looked like his goal was to get Floyd out early, and that was why he was swinging so wild, Kendell gill knew Pac was injured he is an NBA player who trains boxing and his gym mate Kenneth sims jr was a sparring partner who was let go early and told him that Pac was injured and their plan was to go for the KO early.

Team Pacquiao screwed themselves bad. This was probably the worst version of Manny Pacquiao I have ever seen since the 3rd fight with Marquez.

I told everyone don't bet on Pac, I warned them lol.

[SchoolTheseCats]

Manny is the biggest b!tc# in boxing. The only time he hasn't made an excuse for an L is when Bradley won the first fight which he should have complained about because he had a case. He feels like crap because he knows he ain't do jack nelly. His face said it all during the fight.

If his shoulder hurting he not going keep it up like that he got rotator not relaxing lol dude needs to stop
