Excellent interview. Justin implicated himself. Every fighter fights with injuries? Is Manny Pacquiao an "every" fighter? Is a torn rotator cuff a regular injury? Is Mayweather a regular opponent? He mentioned with all the money invested you simply had to go through with it. That is not the way you deal with a megastar like Pacquiao. Pacquiao has a bunch of cash-and-grab guys running his show.

So...Fortune explicitly co-signs the injury pre-fight, said that Pacquiao complained about it during the fight.
"the guy's got one arm, you're fighting a guy with one arm, I thought Floyd was better than that"
Fuel to the lawsuits against Top Rank, but really not what the "no-injury" conspiracy theorists wanted to hear.
Didn't know Freddie was training Ik Yang.

Fortune is aboob and Roach is stupid for using him. Roach is ignorant and narrow minded. He should have worked it out with Ariza. Those were Pac's best years. Roach is an old school idiot.
I don't think so. That chest kick hurt.
