Mayweather vs Pacquiao May 2nd [official]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
See the truth about what, his injury? Why would I care if he was injured or not, that's not why he lost, and if he came out saying yeah I have a fucked up shoulder but it's been feeling great weeks leading up to the fight would have I not watched the fight? Lol hell no, injuries happen, guys fight injured all the time.
the way I see it is he lost to Mayweather in a tactical fight that was a letdown as far as action goes. His injury probably worsened during the fight at some point but that's not why he lost the fight. He had surgery, fights over, we move on.

Of course it was great for you lol.
Fight was lacking any solid punches though. Only a few landed each. Output was low for both guys as well, even if you go by compubox's numbers, not only did Pacquiao land a career low, Mayweather also landed a career low. There were some intense moments though, and some of the stuff Floyd did defensively was impressive as well as some nice straight rights. But man, there isn't even a highlight punch from the fight. Wish there was some more drama but whatever, it happens and at least the fight FINALLY happened.

The Mystery Surrounding Manny Pacquiao’s Injection
Since lawsuits started emerging from angry fans feeling cheated out of their mega-fight money, Team Pacquiao has officially changed their story about Manny’s now-infamous right shoulder.
Now, the shoulder, according to Top Rank attorney Daniel Petrocelli, was fine coming into the May 2 bout and injured during the clash with Floyd Mayweather. A tragic reoccurrence of an injury suffered in training camp weeks earlier.
Prior to the talk of class action suits for knowingly entering the ring with a significant and well-hidden handicap, Team Pacquiao’s official story was that they injured the shoulder in camp, treated it with USADA-approved medications, and opted to enter the ring at less than 100% for the sake of keeping the event intact.
In both versions of this story, though, the Nevada State Athletic Commission was cast in the role of villain for their refusal to allow Manny an anti-inflammatory injection a couple of hours before the opening bell.
With no prior reporting of an injury and a medical form where Pacquiao, himself, indicated that he had no shoulder (or any other) injuries, there was simply not enough time to investigate and properly decide whether to allow an injection before this high-stakes bout.

^^^^he obviously had some kind of injury or else they wouldn't have asked for an injection two hours before the fight. Not sure what the commission can do here, suspend him for a few months? I never heard of anyone getting suspended or fined for not checking the box that states you have a prior injury or not, maybe
@naner12
can think of an example.
@naner12
can think of an example.Ariza is grossly overstating things in regards to torn rotator cuff. People sometimes have a partly torn rotator cuff that allows you to move your arm but with pain obviously. It all depends on the severity. You guys remember when Vitali fought Byrd? Vitali ended up forfeiting a won fight 3 rounds to go because of a torn rotator cuff that emerged very early in the fight (2nd or 3rd round iirc). Dude knew the risks outweigh the reward and quit rightfully. Now I highly doubt Pac had a more severe case of the tear, but it's still enough to hamper and debilitate him in the ring. With that said, I'm not a fan of how the Pac camp handled this issue. They come across as sore losers. Dude should have quit on his stool and made a case for it, but then again that would have been a completely different can of worms.

Wouldn't doubt it's happened in a few other fight, the funny part is the suspension normally starts on the date of the fight so if they suspend Pacquiao for 6 months he'll likely still be in recovery anyway.

Good reference. Of course, there's the fight where Mike Tyson fought with a broken back:

lmao love the poetry/raps from Floyd sr, keep em comming
The fight has taken place..
Manny's title? Lost without a trace.
As Me and Floyd
Entered cheerful embrace...
I glanced to see the look of disgrace on Freddie's Face.
I have changed My pace
I can now look them in the face
And say:
I must confess You tried Your best.....
And As We saw there was no contest.
FLOYD is simply the best!
Now just like I said
Freddie the Roach is Dead!

both those paragraphs are basically the same thing, just worded different.
if the shoulder was "fine" coming into the fight but injured "again", within weeks, it was never healed. i didn't know they had "medications" for rotator cuff tears. i thought you had to let them heal organically or have surgery. maybe they mean "medications" as in pain killers but that will only fuck your shit up worse since its going to tear more, which means it was never healed.
regardless, he's a sav for fighting with that cuff fucked up. every right he threw hadda kill him.

The medication that article is referring to is an anti inflammatory and a numbing agent injection, basically an attempt to kill any pain/discomfort during the fight. Same shit NFL players do every game, but they fucked up by not requesting this before hand. I'm guessing Pac felt it was fine, but the day of the fight he started feeling something and that's when they asked. Still that's on them, they should have been safe and put in the request just in case so they dropped the ball on that one.
