Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Don't Want Fans To Buy Injury Excuse

But MANNY said HE took his foot off the pedal, he slowed down because HE thought he was winning. THIS WAS MANNY'S WORDS, HE SAID THAT. THIS WAS HIS 3RD EXCUSE. LOL After FLOYD WOULDNT STAND STILL. lol this mf ethered himself. He LOST badly. He is not in floyd's class. nowhere near. Pacs career will suffer for the way he has handled a CLEAR LOSS

I think taking the foot off the pedal is a b/s excuse too, he looked tired in the 11th, blowing at the end of the 10th.

However, I do think he felt he was winning, that much I do believe. If you look at his reaction at the end of the fight, he is triumphant and raises his arms.

Hopkins isn't even fit to carries Pac's spit bucket so who cares what he thinks.

LMAO______________

Weebler... They always raise there arms at the end of the fight... It doesn't mean anything, as many times its a one sided fight. They do it just in case they somehow get a shady decision.. You should know this already.

Manny is the only person that knows if he really thought he won the fight. But for a fighter that's made a career outta being an offensive machine. I have a hard time believing that he genuinely thought he had won landing as sparingly as he did.

LOL #48 knew he lost that fight and both he and his corner reacted as such.

We all know that Jim Lampley and HBO were Pac worshippers, but even he is disappointed in Manny:

During an interview on the Rich Eisen Show, HBO boxing commentator Jim Lampley said he feels “terrible” for people who bought the pay-per-view, and said it wasn’t fair to the public for Pacquiao to hide his injury. Lampley revealed that even he knew nothing about Pacquiao’s injury before the fight.

“It was a cynical enterprise to begin with in certain ways and now seems even moreso. I feel terrible [for those] who spent four figures on a ticket, I feel bad for people who spent 89, 90, 100 dollars on pay-per-view who were not given proper information in advance on what it was they were seeing. I think there may be a constituency of people who think it’s in some way noble and brave for Pacquiao to go ahead and enter the ring with an injury and try to perform, but I think that the only way that would wash is if the public had known in advance, and to have gone ahead with the enterprise when one of the fighters turns out to be damaged goods.”

“For all of the advertising and promotions to have continued to base itself on the notion that this was the fight of the century and the best combat that boxing could offer. To fans and uninitiated fans who only know a little about boxing and see it from the surface level buy in at the level in which they bought in are bound to feel somewhat cheated today. I just really think it’s highly unfortunate for our sport, I think it’s bad for Pacquiao’s image and taints his great and noble career, and I could go on and on about the ways in which this is unfortunate for boxing and for the audience. I can’t imagine, even under these circumstances, that a rematch would illicit anything other than an embarrassing response compared to what they got the other night.”

The principle he's espousing is that you don't make excuse for performance. Floyd did that, but he doesn't want his opponents to. It's self-serving hypocrisy.



Then why was it 8-4 on two cards? Not that it matters to this particular discussion.

Ha ha ha, Home Cooking, and a Home Feast!!!

Don't worry, nobody did. He got beat, bottom line. After everyone including his coach and trainer, predicted that he would KO Mayweather after 19 years of fighting.
