At the post fight press conference Bob Arum revealed that Pacquiao had suffered a shoulder injury in training camp. Before we jump to conclusions let's take a look back at the events leading up to the fight.
Pacquiao was rumored to be using a anti-inflammatory cream to treat his recurring leg cramps. However, Justin Fortune refuted those claims in an interview with Steve Kim by making it clear to the media that Pacquiao's leg are fine.
The leg cramp rumors were nothing more than a scheme to keep the shoulder injury under wraps.

Let's not forget about the unexpected end to Pacquiao's open media workout.
Pacquiao fought a very left-handed fight and didn't throw his right jab nor right hook nearly enough. Considering all of the above, it would be fair to assume that Pacquiao did indeed suffer a shoulder injury during training camp.
