Comments Thread For: NSAC Chairman Disputes Arum's Details on Pac's Injury

[BrometheusBob.]

While it's possible that Pac had an injury, it doesn't look good on them to have stated that this late. I acknowledge that fans wouldn't have loved to hear the underdog being injured. I also acknowledge that Arum and crew probably assumed that, given that they were allowed to use the medication before, they'd get to do it on fight night without having to disclose a reason. Also, 90 minutes before the fight affords them the right at least to not seem like that were creating the excuse on the fly [as a response to losing].

I think in the future it shouldn't matter when the injury is reported if it is substantiated by hard, legitimate evidence. I have a feeling that it was not in this case, given the NSACs hard put down.

That being said, while I'd like to believe this story matters a lot, it feels like the crew is a bit salty about the loss. If the injury was as serious as they suggest, it'd be unlikely that Pac could have performed basically at all. True or not, the performance on Saturday demonstrated why the fight needed to happen 5 years ago, that Freddie Roach is an overrated trainer who removed quality members of the camp to the detriment of his fighters, and that Mayweather is the better boxer.

They didnt know anything until a few hours from from fight , they called Arum a liar .
Roach said Manny told him in the corner another lie .

Manny got schooled and threw more right hands after the 3rd .

Nothing but a bunch of whiny ass losers , Manny and his BS fans got schooled so they can all fck off with their sour g**** BS .

You are categorically wrong, from the article. They knew about the shots. They say they didn't know the particulars of the injury itself.

Can you recall one single occasion in which a training injury has been revealed going into a big fight, on such an occasion as the fight was not postponed?

I can't.

****** they didn't check box on form or put what the injury was to get shot you can't go to commission 90 mins before fight saying I need a shot on so and so how do they know injury really in spot they asking for medicine at pac team screwed him again just like they have done his career roach made zero adjustments and had the nerve to talk about Floyd sr don't give instructions he didn't adjust

you maaaaaaadddddddddd lol well at the post fight MK told manny to lie about the form lol yall a bunch of bi@@@@@

[strykr619]

They royally screwed pacman. Who cares if they weren't notified until 6:30. They said they already knew he was taking the shots because he disclosed the medication on the medical questionnaire. And then they go ahead and deny him his medication so it could be a fair fight?. I guarantee they let mayweather take his xylocaine shots in his knuckles before the fight like they do every fight.

This is what i have a problem with, the fact that THEY KNEW he was injured already but because of a paperwork snafu they rejected treatment is bs.... I would have pulled out from the fight...

Morons.... aRUM and company should have known better.

Arum said they knew about the shots , he lied in the same article , stop sticking up for their BS , this a whiny loser here and its wrong , they lost and need to be upstanding in that loss , not this BS after all they were saying daily which was the complete opposite to what they saying now , give it up .

[brickcityboxing]

Hahaha can't get enough of this ... So what's your guys stance on xylocaine now?

Pacquiao sure did have a disgusting amount of Acne all down his back. Post the pictures like y'all did Marquez.

You ignorant fools. I don't know about other races, but Asian men tend to have lots of acne on their backs, I would guess most presumably from sweat. I have them, and lots of other people I've known and people I've seen in gym showers have them too. It's a different type of acne then what comes form using PEDs. Look at Marquez, he had them in places you usually don't get acne.

Thank you again for displaying your low IQ. I'll be back on my way to driving my $100,000 car while you and your "homies" worship Floyd on your breaktime at Walmart. cheers!

Yuuuup! Your gross Bacne ladies and gents!!!

So unprofessional by arum and rest of pacquaios team

Amateurish

They should have made sure they would be allowed a shot prior to the fight days before fight night

On second thought, it might not have just been negligence. It was a case of trying to be too clever. Making sure no-one knew of the injury or worried that the fight would be called off which it likely wouldn't have been .

Mayweather fought jlc with the same injury.
