Comments Thread For: Mayweather Stands Firm On Rescinding Rematch Offer

[Spoon23]

Remember the day Floyd when you won, but actually didn't..



You know you won the fight even with just one hand, when the hometown boy was booed in front of the hometown crowd after he was announced the winner.

Priceless.

Remember the stans kept calling Floyd a ***g0t?

#48 lost to a ***g0t.

Am I the only one that remembers Maidana saying that he thought he won, and that he'd have to be the one to offer Mayweather a rematch, at the end of the first fight? And he wasn't as respectful about that fact as JLC was after he fought Mayweather and said he thought he won. And on the topic of JLC, does no one remember Mayweather saying he had shoulder problems that caused his not so brilliant performance?

For some reason, it's only a problem when Pacquiao says he won. For some reason, having a shoulder problem is only an issue when Pacquiao is the one saying it.

Terrible comparison.

Just log off.

1) Mayweather stated that he had a shoulder problem BEFORE the fight

2) Watching the fight, it was obvious that Mayweathers shoulder was injured

3) Mayweather complained to the corner more than once

4) Mayweathers corner were seen working on his shoulder more than once

5) Mayweather stated what the problem was immediately, not as an excuse

6) Mayweather rematched Castillo immediately, beating him decisively, which PROVED that the previous injury was genuine

Pacquiao did none of those things.

Just saying.....

Uh, frankly I'm not sure that's evident. Please describe in further detail how those things qualify as terrible comparisons.

Edit: aboutfkntime - thanks for taking the time to make an actual response to what I was saying.

That being said, I disagree with several of the things you stated, except for #3,4.

I'd like a link to something concrete for point #1. I remember him saying that it was injured on the last day of training or something like that, so unless he released something immediately prior to the fight I'm not sure that that ever happened.

In trying to find more details about the circumstances of this situation, google led me to this boxingscene forum thread, in which most people at the time felt Mayweather was full of **** and no fanboys came out with any conclusive evidence then either to defend your points #1-5. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=138145

#5 the difference between saying it immediately and moments later seems absolutely meaningless to me, one does not appear inherently more believable than the other. Especially when you consider that on 'Soul of A Champion', Mayweather claims to have injured his right shoulder instead of his left as he does to Larry Merchant in the ring immediately after the fight.

#6 This is out of Pacquiao's control, Mayweather would have to give a rematch which he does not appear to want. Expecting Pacquiao to have to this level of conclusive proof one week after the fight is totally unrealistic since they'd obviously not have fought again one week after the fact, injury or no injury.

The situation is obviously completely different and cannot be compared.

The fact that Pacquiao did none of those things proves that the injury claim is bull****.

Team Pacquiao are full of shht.....

What happens is that people get lost in the terminology. They start throwing out big names. "We went to Kerlan Jobe [Orthopaedic Clinic], who did surgery on Kobe Bryant." I don't give a **** if Kerlan Jobe worked on the Queen of England. That doesn't mean **** to me, and it means even less when they say Manny is going to have "surgery". That doesn't mean a thing to me either. Who gives a ****? What's going to mean something to the fans, to the public, and to the media is when they say, "We had to make an evasive cut to repair, suture, stitch, or staple a ligament that had been torn." That's what's going to matter. All this other horse **** is the same thing that they did when there was a supposed "contract" that existed, but never existed.
The same people that claimed Manny Pacquiao sigend a contract that never existed are now saying that there was a pre-existing shoulder injury. I don't buy it. "Oh, we took an MRI." So ****ing what? Let me tell you what's going to happen. They're going to scope the shoulder, which is nothing more than a few little incisions, and they're going to send the little camera in there and they're going to look around. My bet is that they're going to find nothing.

BT: When you say they're going to scope the shoulder, technically, that is considered surgery though, right?

AA: It is surgery. It's not invasive. I mean, it's an outpatient clinic thing. You go in there and it takes less than a couple of hours. If there's nothing wrong, you can go back to functional movement the next day without them doing nothing; just moving around some things. They'll manipulate the shoulder in certain directions and areas and they'll start to look at connective tissues, ligaments, tendons, muscles; anything that can indicate that Manny really has a tear. They also said they have a MRI, but MRIs are about maybe 70-80% accurate on joints. You know, the soulder is like a map; it looks like a road map. Ligaments, tendons, muscles, and things like that, I mean, they just cross over each other, so it's a really complicated area. Once you get in there, you really get to see what you're doing. So they'll fill it up with a bunch of fluids so they'll be able to manipulate the shoulder, move the arm around, and see if there's any ligament damage or anything torn. But like I said, let's look into the crystal ball. This is what you're going to hear. Okay, they scope it and they'll find nothing wrong, so they'll say, "Manny Pacquiao has to go under extensive rehabilitation for 6 months." That's what you're going to hear, which is to say nothing more. There's nothing ****ing wrong with him.

I agree with what someone said earlier. The rematch will be Floyd's 50th fight. The first PBC PPV.
