Nevada Commission uncomfortable allowing Manny to fight even WITH numbing injection!!

[SalimShady1212]

Very interesting quotes from Francisco Aguilar of the Nevada state boxing commission. I will post the quotes and links to the tweets below:

@latimespugmire: Francisco Aguilar of Nevada Commission tells me he was uncomfortable allowing @MannyPacquiao in ring after a pain-numbing injection, too.

@latimespugmire: If everyone had discussed matter before hand, even the day before, Aguilar said he might have allowed the injection. #MayPac

@latimespugmire: But Aguilar said he even made @MannyPacquiao prove he could throw punches right handed in dressing room to let fight proceed. #MayPac

@latimespugmire: Can you imagine a night-of postponement? That would've been something. But Nevada could've stopped it. #MayPac

No excuses, Pacquiao's fault for taking the fight and he was beaten comprehensively.

"Uncomfortable"

If the NSAC had to wheel him out on a sack trolley they weren't stopping that fight.

I just got an image in my head of Pacquiao fighting Floyd in a full body cast.

Full Statement

Full Statement here:

During training, Manny Pacquiao suffered a right shoulder injury. Manny went to see world-class doctors, partners in the prestigious Kerlan Jobe Orthopedic Clinic, who performed tests and, in consultation with Manny, his promoter, and his advisors, concluded that with short rest, treatments, and close monitoring, Manny could train and, on May 2, step into the ring against Floyd Mayweather.

Manny’s advisors notified the United States Anti-Doping Agency (“USADA”) of the shoulder injury and the treatments being proposed by the doctors during training and on fight night. USADA spoke to Manny’s doctors twice, investigated, and confirmed in writing that the proposed treatments, if used, were completely allowed. The medication approved for fight night was a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (Toradol).

Manny continued to train and his shoulder improved, though not 100%. This is boxing, injuries happen, and Manny is a warrior. Again, in consultation with his doctors, promoter and advisors, Manny decided to proceed with the fight anticipating that he could receive his pre-fight treatment. That specific treatment had been approved by USADA in writing at least 5 days before the fight.

On his pre-fight medical form filled out earlier in the week, Manny’s advisors listed the medications that Manny used in training and the medications that might be used on fight night. A few hours before he was expected to step in the ring, when Manny’s doctors began the process, the Nevada Commission stopped the treatment because it said it was unaware of Manny’s shoulder injury.

This was disappointing to Team Pacquiao since they had disclosed the injury and treatment to USADA, USADA approved the treatments, and Manny had listed the medication on his pre-fight medical form.

Also, USADA had provided a copy of its contract with the fighters to the Commission. An hour before the fight, Manny’s advisors asked the Commission to reconsider and the director of USADA advised the Commission that USADA had approved the fight-night treatment, but the Commission denied the request.

With the advice of his doctors, Manny still decided to proceed with the fight. His shoulder wasn’t perfect but it had improved in training camp.

However, as Manny has said multiple times, he makes no excuses. Manny gave it his best.

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 that, so all he wished for is to help him compete knowing he has an injury so that the fight can push through at all costs.

Pretty much.

The fight wasn't getting canceled.

Certainly not on fight night.
