    Pac fought knowing he will be given some medication for the shoulder pain before the fight, that was the agreement that's why he decided to push through even though the risk of losing was great.

    His only condition was to have administered that drug that will provide him to fight that night. He didn't get it.

    If he know he won't be getting it that night. He would have opted to cancel the fight. And that's the truth.

    But we know how can you stop a 400 million dollar fight? No one can stop or delay, so all he wished for is to help him compete knowing he has an injury so that the fight can still push through at all costs.

    He didn't get it.. Pac was 60% that night. Truth hurts.

      Floyd had the opportunity to do anything he wanted and he dominated the fight. Pac had the same opportunities and didn't do anything. Floyd did exactly what he said he would do. He did what the entire boxing community expected him to do IF HE took control. He did starting from round 1.

      Pac was supposed to pressure Floyd and make him fight. Force him to fight. he didn't. He was a deer in the headlights and Roach didn't have a single answer for him. All them years about having a game plan and frankly, they didn't have ****.

      Pac didn't know what to do and Floyd did what he always does. Enough to win. Which was expected. At the end of the day, pac was supposed to make it a war. He didn't. Since he didn't, we got the standard Mayweather dominate points win. So much for Pac and all that hype...
      It takes two to tango. Pacquiao did more damage in round four alone than Floyd did for the entire fight. He was applying pressure and cutting the ring off effectively but every attempt to close the gap was offset by Floyd's excessive clinching.

      Stop trying to dress Floyd's victory up into something other than a mediocre win over an injured and undertrained Pacquiao.

        And Pac won round 4 hands down. It was all the other rounds outside of round 6 that he lost. You could argue one ore round at best but that is about it.

        You need to stop with the excuses. Nobody is accepting them.

        Like I said before, the difference between Floyd and Manny is that when injured, Floyd still wins. No excuses.

          Now that's what loving someone is all about. He truly cares about Pac this exposes it.

          No wonder allot are hating on Floyd the guy loves Pac so much he hugged his way to uneventful boxing match. All that hugging is even bordering **** lol Hey, Floyd this is a boxing match lol

            This article Is spot on.

            Perhaps you are one of the millions of people who forked over $100 in hopes of watching the fight of the century between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. You bought into the hype and hysteria. Mayweather was risking his 47-0 record against a 36-y

              I'm assuming that you're referring to the Castillo fight? You can't make an accurate comparison without knowing the full extent of their injuries. Pacquiao's injury happened during the middle of training camp, Floyd's injury happened on the last day after all the weeks of training had already been put in.

                The truth is Manny was not ready for FMJ on May 2nd or 5 years ago. Manny is not in FMJ's class and never has been. Bob Arum did the right thing and maximized the payday for Manny and himself. Manny fans always questioned why would Bob Arum block this fight. Did you finally get your answer May 2nd? Thinking FMJ was scared of that.

                  He's fighting for himself, because at the end of the day nobody else is going to fight his battles for him or deal with his losses. Pacquiao is finding that out right now.
                  exactly.....

                    Nothing to be impressed about. He had a hard time with a one armed fighter while he danced, hugged, hold and run the whole night.

                    Yup his in a class on his own alright. Boxing turned into the most epic dancing with the stars event lol

                      Kidding aside, this right here is what's bad in boxing.

                      This is the Best example of how to turn-off new potential boxing fans.

                      They really should put a point deduction system for huggers out there so that this stinker of a super fight will never happen again.
