Lol perfect choice of image. In all seriousness though, Pacquiao entering the ring injured without telling anyone was not a great decision on his part or anyone on his team involved in it. Postponing the fight would have been the best decision, even getting the injection on the night of may not have been the wisest choice. It would have made maybe some difference in the fight but it more certainly would have exacerbated an injury already in need of surgery. For the record though, none of this changes my stance on wanting to watching a remtach.

Hard to argue with any of the points. Team Pacquaio dropped the ball. You do not go into a fight with Floyd Mayweather at less than 100%.

Pacquiao may have had an injury but in no way was it serious or they would have done something quick because this was the biggest fight of their careers. They even checked "no" on the sheet, meaning the shoulder was not an issue even after when Kellerman asked Manny why he didn't throw punches. Manny was extremely disappointed about what happened in the ring and Bob Arum dug up the injury excuse which actually hurt more than helped Pacquiao. Don't care what Floyd says about a rematch. Nobody will pay big money for it and it will make the first one look worst. Manny is stuck with an L and has to live with it.

Let's see what Lampley says after the rematch, which Floyd already OKd.

If there is, i sure as hell won't pay for it. i stopped buying fights a while ago, just watch them the follwing week on regular hbo or showtime. I knew i should've just waited for the replay.

Are you really this dense? Of course they're going act like they're going to win the fight, even if if they're lying to themselves. You cannot let doubt creep into your mind, nor do you let your opponent know that you've got a bum shoulder.

That's ether....

What happened to Evol? I had a few debates with him on here and haven't seen him since. How about check hooks? lol these dudes where over the top. It is sad everything is coming full circle. I thought I would cherish this day. But fighters have heart for stepping into the ring so respect to them.

But the way the media painted Pac and painted Floyd made me want to see Pac lose. I for one always respected the way Pac seemed to carry himself but he hasn't thanked God, gave Floyd any credit. He was way more humble in the: Bradley, Marquez lost.

He must have believed the hype that Floyd was really scared and can't accept that he lost.
