Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Top Rank Joint Statement on Mayweather Fight

"I got shot, stabbed, hit by a car, sprained my ankle and mauled by a bear............but no excuses, I still won" lmao wtf why write that long as statement and then dare claim it isn't an excuse?

Makaveli is not a real pacquiao fan. I agree that the athletic commission sabotaged Manny pacquiao by denying him a legal doctor prescribed medication which would have allowed him to use his right arm without feeling the injury. Same thing that Floyd uses in his knuckles, I guarantee he got approved

No, he is as real as it gets. It's clowns like you that drag him down.

Pacquiao clearly did nit throw his punches with much of any speed after the 4th round or so. He barely used his right hand at all, mayweather got lucky

Someone didn't watch the fight.

Anyway, what a sad bunch of whiny little pathetic *****es you are. Get some balls and take it like a man.

This is precisely why Mayweather won't ever do a rematch. He was already always moaning about never ending excuses.

He wins the fight clearly, but gets booed and then a faux injury get brought up to discredit him and his win.

He would know full well that were a rematch to ever happen, it would go exactly the same way. He'll win easily, then Arum, Pac and his team will just bring up piles of bull****.

It's this reason why it won't ever happen again. He knows that no matter what happens, he'll never get any credit from anyone apart from his people, while everyone else pulls out every excuse in the book, and then two hundred more besides.

lol like I said in an earlier post it's because he wants to say why he thinks he'll do better next time not try to take this win away from Floyd. At first Pac handled the loss poorly and was at best deluded talking to Kellerman. But in his interview with rappler he admits to losing and in the post fight presser he says I did my best, but my best wasn't enough. What more do you flo-mos want from him? He said he didn't do well enough, he said he lost, he's saying he can do better next time. Any more questions?

Bradley got the decision against Pac and complained about injuring his ankle.
So why cant Pac say he was injured when he was and many people confirm it as well. Pac sparring partners etc etc.

Floyd fans are so worried Floyd wont get credit, so they are quite paranoid and sensitive.

We never accepted that excuse for Bradley either.

I'm a Mayweather fan but it makes sense, I just couldn't believe how inactive Manny was, I thought either something was wrong or he just got plain old. If USADA confirms this story then it's not an excuse.

If you're a Mayweather fan then you would know he makes almost every fighters workrate significantly lower than usual. It's not a coincidence...

It's really no surprise Mayweather doesn't enjoy the sport anymore. Can you blame him?

He almost shuts out the guy people said he was scared of or would murder him in the ring and people still make excuses and don't give him the credit.

I honestly think if Manny had come out and just said "I wasn't on my game tonight, Mayweather fought a smart fight but i think i can do much better in a rematch" - i would respect that more and it might actually make people believe he could do more. This excuse is making me hope he never gets the rematch.

They're campaigning really hard for that rematch.

You're saying if he can back up his claims with hard evidence, you would still call it an excuse? Takes a lot for some to be happy I guess.
