Comments Thread For: The Big Lie

[Mr. Philadel]

Ok, and the well known professional orthopaedic surgeon would just put his livelyhood at risk just to lie for Pacquiao. A livelyhood that probably earns him millions every year. He will now take the risk of losing his license to ever practice again.

We are getting into the realm of ridiculous in this thread.

man...take the day off!!...you dudes sound ****** trying to defend that ****ery!!...Team 48 been scamming yall for years and now they've been exposed for the scam artist they are...but you dudes are STILL buying the bs they're selling!!....you must've picked 48...no other reason some of you would behave the way you dudes been behaving since May 3rd

I can see where team Pac is coming from with regards to not disclosing the shoulder injury, if they are under the assumption that they will be receiving the medication that they need prior to the fight.

Still, this whole fiasco reeks of corruption. I agree that the fight should have been postponed but let's get real, no way that happens.

that's very true...

the nsac have the authority but did not have the heart to stop the fight as they are afraid of the fallout of a postponement....

however, letting pac fight without the medication cleared by usada was a decision that nsac will have a difficult time explaining if an inquiry will be conducted....because they did allow a fighter fight with an injury and denied him the medication...this greatly tilt the advantages more so for floyd.....

The point is Floyd fans want it one way but did the same back then.

Floyd also said that he couldn't see against Maidana and that a shark bit him. To what degree?

Floyd fans are all over the place with this and they lost track of what is really their point

but you still have not answer the question do you belive him yes or no

Pac go away with your team. You are full of *****. Running with a little discomfort as if your right arm fell off, because you feel you lost to a man you weren't supposed to. Acting like you were a right handed killer puncher. You lost because your boxing IQ was too low to beat the man you fought.

I must say, I'm terribly disappointed in team Pacquiao. He should have postponed the fight, period. With all of the hype, anticipation and money involved, this fight should have been nothing less than the best that both fighters in the best health and shape possible could have offered. The excuse that Mayweather may not have fought Pacquiao at a later date is ludicrous speculation. The money would have still been there, as well as the hype and anticipation. Pacquiao and some others harp on the NSAC not allowing him to have pain medication administered before the fight. Besides the ethical issue, would it have really done much good? Pain killers help kill the pain, but they don't heal the injury. So Pacquiao would have still been injured, which means he still would not have been able to perform at peak levels. His deception resulted in a lousy fight, which cheated everyone who put money in his pocket to watch it. Sorry Manny, but you ****ed up royally with this.

By Thomas Hauser - Sometime prior to fighting Floyd Mayweather on May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao suffered a torn right rotator cuff. In mid-April, his condition was evaluated at the Kerlan Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles. Pacquiao later told Filipino journalist Ronnie Nathanielsz that he was advised to rest his shoulder for thirty to forty days.

At that point, Pacquiao considered postponing the fight. But he opted instead for a ****tail of pain-killing, anti-inflammatory, and healing drugs approved by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which had contracted with Pacquiao and Mayweather to oversee drug testing in conjunction with the fight.

Thereafter, Pacquiao’s preparation for the fight was significantly compromised. Among other things, he stopped sparring for at least a week in an effort to avoid exacerbating his shoulder injury.

At a pre-fight physical administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission on May 1, Pacquiao (or advisor Michael Koncz; it’s unclear which) filled out an NSAC medical questionnaire and listed the medications that Manny had been taking: Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, Celestone, PRP, and Toradol.

Koncz told the New York Daily News and BoxingScene.com that he was the one who filled out the questionnaire. Bob Bennett (executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission) told Fox Sports that Pacquiao did it. [Click Here To Read More]

What I want to know is Why wont the NSAC address the fact one of its commissioners RESIGNED immediately at the way the NSAC treated Pacquaio. He claimed to be disgusted & embarrassed with the commission.
I agree the fight should have been cancelled but just imagine the backlash at Pacquaio if he had pulled out?? It would have devastated Vegas. . Instead Pacquaio manned up & went ahead thinking he had done the right thing
Would people have sued Paquaio if he had pulled out?? Would PacquaIO have ever got another shot??
Just the same as Margarito & the CSAC the commission screwed upbut the fighter suffered. It breaks my heart to see boxing get so corrupt

Id believe Pacquaio yes more than I'd believe anything the NSAC said. Its one more case of a corrupt commission making the fighter the scapegoat.

If pacman would have checked yes he would have gotton the shot thats the rule they did not break the rules they have so they dont have to explain anything.

what are you talkting about the question was about floyd saying he had hurt he shoulder when he fought JLC

But that's FLOYD Vegas give him leeway to make his own rules. He never told the NSAC about his shoulder they looked the other way Castillo kicked Floyd's ass but Vegas/NSAC made sure he got a decision win. That was the difference. Castillo beat Floyd but was screwed . When you look at those 118-110 & 117-111 scorecards Pacquaio was going to get screwed too regardless It was a close fight Floyd ran like always knowing that if he was standing at the end he'd get a dec. as always. The crowd in Vegas showed what they thought of Mayweather though He went ballistic when they booed him & cheered Pacquaio
