I am reproducing an interview of Roger Mayweather which appeared in ABS-CBN's website:
Roger Mayweather, the uncle and trainer of former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr., thinks Miguel Cotto may pose problems to international superstar Manny Pacquiao because of his size.
“Cotto is a little too physical for him, too strong,” said Roger. “Pacquiao is smaller.”
Roger said that even if Pacquiao and Cotto agree to duel in a catch weight, the Puerto Rican may still come in bigger come fight night.
But he said a Pacquiao win will be good for his ward.
“If he wins, it’s better for me so he can fight my nephew,” said Roger.
The elder Mayweather said the former world champion is currently taking the much-needed rest after sustaining an injury in his right rib cage.
“There’s nothing you can do about it, it’s a fractured rib right now. He is resting and it should be a couple of months before he can go back,” said Roger.
Fight fans are eagerly waiting for a Pacquiao-Mayweather match up especially after the Filipino demolished Floyd’s erstwhile opponent Ricky Hatton in just two rounds.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, however, is pushing for a Pacquiao-Cotto match since a duel with Floyd could cause negotiation problems.
Floyd was supposed to fight Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18. The fight was postponed after “Pretty Boy” sustained the training injury.
“The fight is still gonna go on,” said Roger. “We are just moving it on September or October but it’s gonna happen.” With a report from Bev Llorente, ABS-CBN North American News Bureau.
=========================
There it is folks. While Richard Shaeffer and Golden Boy Promotions described the injury as "muscle" related affecting the "Cartilage", Roger Mayweather described it as a "fractured rib" meaning bone damage. They cannot get their story right because they are just making it up. It's a lie! As a lawyer I can smell a lie a mile away.
wheres the " proof ". i didnt see any in this artical
Are you gong to post the proof or not?
If you guys took 5 minutes to actually read the thread you would have noticed that the TS admitted this:
:-) Well, your opinions are as good as mine. Perhaps it is true that Roger just don't know what is the difference between a damaged rib and a fractured rib. Or perhaps they really did lie. I'll continue to wait and see. End of thread.
Are you gong to post the proof or not?
whats ups with the guys that post here? i have seen at least 15 threads about his injury being fake. why can't they accept that he got hurt? everyone here claims to have the REAL story and REAL proof, but none of them do.
U should understand while what you said is perfectly reasonable and probably what happened, the people you're talking to when it comes to FLoyd have double standards, alot of hate and are illogical. So now you will be called presumably a nuthugger. Just my Opinion. Save that shit for somebody intelligent.
I'm usually referred to as a floydhater so a floydnuthugger would be an unexpected first.
I think that the old man just said it wrong. He was meant to say damaged rib and just said fractured instead. If anything this interview backs up the injuryclaims that were made public 4 days ago.
The interview proves nothing.

How does this prove its a lie? Once again nit picking and jumping to conclusions. You know what Roger can be like with his words sometimes and get certain things wrong, he is a good trainer but he still in general discussion gets things wrong.
It could be fake... it could be true, lets wait for a better concrete source, instead of nitpicking and jumping to conclusions.
How many detective are we going to have on boxingscene because of an injured fighter??? He have more than 5 threads on how there is "Proof" of Mayweather not really injured.. Take this stuff to the dome/lounge and spam it over there.
Unless you have a doctors report with Floyd Mayweather's medical situation on it then move this shit somewhere else.

Either proves a fake injury or Uncle Roger is a bigger idiot than we thought.
In both cases we can both confirm.... he's an idiot.

The original, official announcement is rib cartilage damage which will take only one-three months to heal. Roger says it's a fractured rib, which will take at least six months to heal. The point is, if a group of people have decided to lie about something, they should take pains to organize their story so that everyone's story will be consistent with everyone else's story. One slip from the original theory, like this Roger Mayweather slip, will expose the lie.
And the point is, Golden Boy Promotions will not hesitate to lie to your face when necessary. The company is not honorable. It confirms all along what I and many here suspected: that there was no "injury" and the cause of cancellation is something else.

According to the interview the injury is real. He says Floyd has a fractured rib and that's an injury as far as I know.
Am I missing out on something here????????

He might of fuked up because he is fuked up. He doesn't know what he is saying half the time. If it is a lie so what
That may be true but as the head trainer you can't possibly err on what happened to your fighter. Take note the difference between the healing time: a fractured rib will take at least six months to heal, while a cartilage injury (a tear, inflammation, etc) will take much much less, one to three months tops.

:gives: I'm sick of hearin bout this shit at this point. I don't care why the JMM fight is bein delayed. I hope it gets canceled outright. Mr boat buyer need to fight real WW's or GTFO.
