Manny to get shoulder surgery

[Godsfly]

Well if this is true, Pac's team is ****** for going through with the fight.

Yeah, cancelling the fight would cost a lot of money and would piss off a lot of people but him pulling out with a legit excuse if much more acceptable. Now he's in trouble with NSAC for basically lying about the injury before the fight.

No wonder why his punch output was so poor. Beating Floyd in the punch output department is one of the best shots he had in winning. Him going in the fight with this type of injury basically means he had zero shot.

As a pacquiao fan, this pisses me off more. Not with Floyd, but with Roach, Manny, and the rest of team Pac.

the problem is manny is inconsistent. he said that he hurt his arm in the 3rd round. but look at him throw in the 4th?





LOL at zero shot when he is throwing that right like a mad man.

Pacquiao was obviously injured. But he should of postponed the fight. doesnt matter i dont want a rematch, i already know 2009/2010 manny would of beaten floyd.

You can't stop a 400milliom dollar fight. No one can. The show must go on. That's the bitter truth.

[AsianGambler]

so the injury was real huh.... then postpone the ****ing fight! trying to beat floyd is hard enough, but with only 1 arm is impossible.

i love you dude and youve done tons for the p.i. but you and especially your ****ty ****ing team ****ed up big time. but goodluck with that fantasy rematch and at your goal of beating mayweather

I have read many articles discussing this injury, his lack of making the board aware of it, not wanting to postpone, Floyd knew about it etc etc...and I can not help but feel like it doesn't matter. Not in terms of the fight, because as time goes by it seems that this actually is a legitimate injury that no doubt will have affected Manny's performance, but that's not my point. My point is in terms of a rematch and what it ultimately means in the fans lasting memory of this event it doesn't exactly make us all rally up in arms and express desire for a rematch does it? The majority of us saw a fight, a fight that floyd won and therefore we got our answer. The only people rallying are those that are only fans of Manny/haters of floyd.

Manny may have a legitimate injury that affected the fight - sure I can accept that as truth - but will it leave a lasting desire in us fans of boxing to want it again? I do not get the impression that it does. Personally, like I have said a few times now, I would happily watch theses guys fight again, but I do not feel as though their is any majority of fans that do, legit injury or not, you have to wonder why that is.....

He stopped throwing that much throughout the fight.

have you seen martinez running towards cotto in their fight? so does that mean martinez' injury wasn't legit.

Even if the injury was indeed legit and it did affect his performance, they were ****** for letting the fight continue.

[MDPopescu]

Maybe he is getting a heart transplant.

(Ok that was harsh. ...)

... Not hursh at all -- Pac needed some heart in that fight, because he didn't show he has any...

[KillaMane26]

And this stage of his career....sugery could be the end of Manny....even though he didnt look May 2nd...he still can beat 85% of 140/147 fighters.....but look what happened to ya boi Sergio

... "You can't stop a 400 million dollar fight."

... OK, you can't... But, though, you should fight your heart out, right? But Pac didn't...

Please go watch round 6 again. He threw the hook plenty. No one is buying this garbage. Go have surgery and stay out of the ring for a year (if true). But he won't because it's crock.

[Gary Coleman]

Pathetic but i knew they would go to any extreme to save face. Embarassing night for pac.

Haha. They've got to ride this lie all the way now! Serves them right.
