wow again!! another double standard premium!!

let me ask you this.....

are all floyd's win by decision? no ko? or tko?....

it appears to me you don't really know floyd...

you are ******ed I think I'm replying to a troll.

When was the last time he knocked anyone out at 147?

I wonder if the guy in my avatar went to the parade?

Unless two or three of TMTs bodyguards were there with him, no.

Pacquiao lied either way, he was either lying about he injury or that he was healthy. Regardless, he still promised his people and his fans something he couldn't accomplish.

I'm not saying I believe their lying team. I'm just stating what they kept on saying before the fight. How Pacquiao's killer instinct was back, how he was busting people up, that they had the perfect gameplan. That they were ready even if floyd ran. Which everything was false.

The fact that the fight played out as it did was all Pacquiao's fault. Pacquiao had to fight his fight, we all know how Mayweather fights. Giving Pacquiao a hero's welcome after he lied to them and gave everyone false hopes is just plain ******ed.

Floyd did the same then. Him and his team said this time was different and he would fight aggressive and his team expected a KO.

To the media, he (and Roach) needs to talk like that. Its part of the hype and psychology. The injury was brought up to USADA and the drugs used was on the same form as this checked/unchecked box was. So the only big deal is this checkbox because BEFORE the fight, the commissions knew as well.

As for saying that they will win and they didn't that is besides the point. Manny still is who he is and can't always deliver. It's normal. You shouldn't be someone that is on the bandwagon only when your team wins. You can but shouldn't.

On that day i was sitting next to filipinos and they were laughing, drinking, cheering, and having a good time. Later they were quiet and crying but for that moment they were excited. and that was here. So yeah i do think he did that for thee people. It didnt last but for a moment it was there.

Well no **** I was having an awesome time before Russell knocked Jhonny's ass out.

That wasn't my point.

[V.WEBB]

They can't, they all have shoulder injuries too.

I'm legit laughing. And theyre calling Floyd fans salty.

Uh, for what exactly? #48 lost and embarrassed ALL of them.

Well no **** I was having an awesome time before Russell knocked Jhonny's ass out.

That wasn't my point.

Again with this Floyd going for the KO crap? Give me a break, anyone who believe that doesn't know **** about boxing. It's unrealitic to think that If you've seen Floyd fight at this level.

Like I keep on saying, if Manny had a significant tear of his shoulder why not postpone the fight? He said he was 100% ready and the people who bought the fight were lied to. I'd be pretty pissed if that happened with my favorite boxer. I guess some people love Pacquiao too much to be reasonable.

I think this is the fundamental problem with Team Pacquiao's approach. Team Pacquiao was doing the most trash talking, which was not Manny's style. Floyd was being extra respectful, which is not Floyd's style. Manny was supposed to be a killer again, but he got forced into a boxing match, and got schooled. All Floyd's fans knew that the fight would go just as it did. But the worst was the post fight interview; no one expected Manny to come up with an injury excuse, especially when he never said a word to Kellerman, about an injury, but as soon as he got with Arum...BOOM! Team Pacquiao was out of character, out-boxed, and out-classed:

May 3, 2015:

And yet, in the immediate aftermath, Pacquiao was insistent that he'd won the bout, telling an incredulous Max Kellerman "he didn't do nothing." It was a tone-deaf and classless performance, a proud fighter unable to reckon with the fact he'd been handled with ease in the biggest bout of his career.

You can forgive a fighter for almost any misstep in the ring after a fight. The adrenaline is still flowing and, unless he's Floyd Mayweather, he's likely been hit in the head by a professional athlete more than 100 times.

But Pacquiao, to his detriment, doubled down on his delusions at the post-fight press conference. After seemingly offering a mea culpa to start, telling the assembled media masses "my best wasn't good enough," he was back on the war path soon enough.

This time, however, he didn't come without ammunition. He brought an excuse with him—he had been injured during training.

"For two weeks I didn't train well," Pacquiao said. "Because I couldn't use my right hand."

Never mind that there hadn't been even a whisper of the injury before the bout. Never mind that no one, even when trying to explain his struggles in the ring, had suggested Pacquiao might be hurt. Never mind that Nevada State Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said "I have no proof of the injury," according to Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole.

Outside the ring, Floyd Mayweather is the ultimate coward. But, on this night, it was Manny Pacquiao who didn't have the courage to face an uncomfortable truth—in the end, he was merely second best.

Mayweather, carefully polite just like he'd been after outclassing another popular fighter, Arturo Gatti, attempted to apply salve to Pacquiao's psychic wounds.

"He's a tough competitor," Mayweather said of Pacquiao. "He's a true champion at heart."

Before the fight, there was narrative that this was a battle of good versus evil. The crowd certainly seemed to buy into it, booing Mayweather soundly and cheering Pacquiao's every success, no matter how inconsequential.

But a true hero is gracious in defeat, as well as in victory. He doesn't whine about training-camp injuries or try to discredit his conqueror. Manny Pacquiao was supposed to be better than this. It's a shame he didn't live up to his lofty reputation.

And you thinking i was ok with a heros welcome for what he did in the ring that night wasnt my point either.

When did I say this exactly?

My point with this is that sure you're happy before the actual outcome. However the sadness outweighs the happiness by a lot. He didn't bring happiness to the Filipinos that day that's for sure.

Pacquiao gets a hero's welcome after suffering a loss. Fraud Jr. gets booed in his hometown after being given the victory.
