Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

[Spoon23]

The use of IV infusions in sport is commonly linked with rehydration after
exhaustive effort, and this situation is arguably the major cause of debate. It
must be understood that the use of IV fluid replacement following exercise to
correct mild to moderate dehydration is not clinically indicated nor substantiated
by the medical literature. There is a well-established body of scientific evidence
to confirm that oral rehydration is the preferred the****utic choice, potentially
even more effective than IV infusion.

So why need the IVS Floyd if oral hydration should suffice?

[Spoon23]

1. Was Floyd truly in a state of medical emergency, where serious harm or death would occur without immediate medical intervention with an infusion?

Don't think so. Unless a courage physician explains how the hell that a man who fought the following day can fight when the day before that he was in serious harm that he could die. Lol

[If I recall correctly from video of his weigh-in, he was able to easily walk around unassisted. Some truly dehydrated fighters have to remain sitting, lacking the strength to stand, so much as walk around...and they might be candidates for IV infusions. And I assume he was orally re-hydrating too immediately after the weigh-in; he seems to always have a bottle of water when he's conducting interviews.]

2. Observing Floyd's physical demeanor during the weigh-in, we can accept he might have had "mild to moderate" dehydration. So it begs the question...what additional physical training did he do after the weigh-in and before going home that dehydrated him beyond a "mild to moderate" level, creating a medical emergency requiring an IV infusion?

That's my point. Floyd always fights that way yet no hard warnings and no deductions of points.

While opponents and other fights, you actually have a ref that refs.

Agreed! Which fits my point that he owns boxing & nothing will happen to him ever! No IV investigation. No nothing. Floyd, under Mr. Haymon went to showtime and showed HBO who has the power! Against other fighters, PAC dictated terms. Floyd was the A side and dictated everything. That my friend, is the fight before the fight. I work with guys who make money by shorting stocks, currency swaps, etc. I understand the basics, but when they evaluate equities, commodities, etc, these guys are only, only emotionally connected to money.

We go to a bar, I see a decent woman, want to chat her up, they break her down, in a really dehumanizing way. It is fascinating, age, potential child bearing years remaining, newer models coming of age every year, in an economy that is growing only in select sectors. It is interesting.

Emotions drive bad decisions, information drives informed decisions. Floyd has the power. Manny did the same stuff to Marquez and other guys. Cotto did it to Martinez, and Canelo. They accepted terms. PAC was the B side. Marquez was the B side to PAC. If PAC wanted a fifth fight, Marquez wanted to be the A side for once. They offered him the B side again.

Because he wanted them. Why did Floyd have Airza & Angel as advisors? To learn what PAC was doing in the past.

Why did Manny retract his lie about a pre fight shoulder injury? To avoid a lawsuit?

This thread is not about Pac Zaroku. You don't need to explain anything really since you voted Floyd cheated.

Yes Zaroku. Floyd cheated. Since he cheated, his fight with Pac wether it's on record or not in the eyes of rational boxing fans such as yourself and other like us paints a picture of a cheater who thought he got away, but the truth is he is a perception of a man who once wanted to clean up boxing is actually biggest fraud of them all.

That perception is more powerful than any record. It is a stigma that won't go away even after years of his retirement. The fact that he can't clear his name over this. Shows how fuvked he is.

Sad way to leave the sport. Tainted cheat doesn't count.

Floyd is too powerful! He does what he wants when he wants.

But my points are valid.

No it does not, since you already voted he is a cheat.

It also shows he didn't deserve the sympathy of anyone including you. Cheating is cheating. That's not a good look for any sportsman.

The essence of any sport is sportsmanship and fair game which obviously you pointed out he violated.

Spoon, were you born in the U.S.??? Answer not needed! Winning is the only thing. Winning in the U.S. Will always be the only thing, while regurgitating the standard bull of honesty & fairness!! That is what heroes are made of!
