Here's the PROOF that Mayweather's injury is a lie

[burnoksan]

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.

[KILLA RIGHT]

He might of ***ed up because he is ***ed up. He doesn't know what he is saying half the time. If it is a lie so what

[BattlingNelson]

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????????

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.

That is the worst case of "proof" i've ever seen.

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.

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.

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.

:-) 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.
