Ok, so let us vote here.
Here are some arguments and points.
NSAC confirmed that Team Pacquiao did request anti-inflammatory less than two hours before the fight. But they were denied because they had not disclosed the injury previously. So this strengthens their argument a bit in my opinion. But why didn't they report the injury earlier if it was a problem?
They said Pacquiao re-injured his shoulder in the third round, but I think he had great success in the fourth and his right did not seem to bother him. I didn't see any signs of an injury during the fight.
He did not mention his right shoulder in the post fight interview. Maybe it was constructed afterwards before the press conference to try to do some damage control?
And of course, if the right shoulder was a big problem they really should have postponed the fight.
Never mentioned it in the corner or post fight interview. Had his best round the round after he supposedly "injured" his shoulder, throwing right hooks with power and showed no signs of pain.

It's a bull**** excuse.
Pretty much.
He wasn't injured. It would have been the first thing he would have said in the post fight interview where he said he thought he 'won'.
It's a lame excuse for losing and trying to get a rematch after performing worse than a flat footed Maidana did against Floyd.
I mean, when has a Doctor ever said "You have this problem. It is the same as what this famous person has."
The whole thing seemed like a lie cooked up on the spot, with Arum adding a famous to the mix in a desperate attempt to add realism.
How can you make a poll for this? It's been medically confirmed that he does have the stated injury however he was beaten convicingly and cannot use it as an excuse.
Could you please post a link to that?
If that was the case I wouldn't have made a thread. Because there still seems to be uncertainty about it.
The chairman of the NSAC for example denied what Bob Arum claimed:
"After all fighters were done speaking, the commission's Francisco Aguilar said that Arum's claim was "not accurate at all," and that they didn't find out about the injury until 6:30 pm on Saturday." From Bad Left Hook

He backed up because from that 20 punch combo he landed like 3 shots :lol1: floyds no tim bradley
Why would that make him back up and stop punching? His low connect % didn't deter him against Clottey. He had Floyd where he wanted him, Money was in full turtle shell mode there, not looking to counter or roll out. Obviously something else was going on.
But like I said, I want to see the medical documents.
