Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao's Shoulder Was Fine Going Into 5/2

[elishua F]

Pacquiao wanted a shot of toradol when he was 100% healthy. Think about that. I know this drug is not banned but that doesn't make it ok, especially not for boxing. Toradol masks pain, you literally feel indestructible for a few hours.

"Toradol is a wonder drug," says former All-Pro safety Darren Sharper, who retired last year after 14 NFL seasons. "You get a shot in the butt, and within 10 minutes nothing hurts. And that feeling lasts the entire day."

Former NFL center Jeremy Newberry said he would sometimes see 20 or 30 players lined up before a game to get a shot of the drug.

Newberry said Toradol "makes you feel like Superman for three hours," but the 35-year-old now is suffering from Stage 3 kidney failure that doctors attribute to Toradol.

Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms “[it's] basically a super strong pain killer that makes your body numb. You could go run through the wall and you wouldn't really know it until two or three days later.”

"If we had wanted to, we could have done the injection at the hotel before the fight and nobody would have known" - Michael Koncz

He says this so casually as if they've done it before.

Arum trying to weasel out of the lawsuits for allegedly allowing Pacquiao to fight on injured.
But for those cheering Arum for his comment, he also said that Pac injured it during the fight. So no dice.

C'mon use your common sense ...this guy wasn't showing any pain when he through punches, took selfies , and after the fights throwing up his hands ...use your common sense and stop being butthurt...the guy lost like most of his peers thought he would

I'm actually kinda pissed off with team #48. It was the same with the original fight negotiations. Lies upon lies upon lies, with the story changing every day. Unfortunately, those without brains bought into them, just like they did here.

I'd definitely like to find out if Toradol has been a part of his pre-fight routine though. It would explain a lot.

Before the fight Floyd fans called Arum a liar, a snake, a rat, senile, now all of a sudden Floyd fans believe Arum when he talks. In conclusion, Floyd fans only believe anything that is pro Floyd or against Manny and anything against Floyd or pro Manny is false. Also, where is the list of athletes that have faked major injuries and covered it up??

I can't speak for Floyd fans but I just used common sense ...I've had this injury no way he has it during fight is bet everything I have ...deal with the lost and just use another fighter...who is next Floyd is scared of GGG Floyd is scared of klitcho, young Ali...etc

that was pathetic. Dude claims he severely tears his rotator cuff in the fight and at the end he celebrates his schooling by raising both arms smiling lol...It wouldn't surprise me if in the next month or so Manny gets caught playing basketball. Am sure Manny's ****** will not be late in defending this fraud.

not related but lmao @ sharper saying "toradol is a wonder drug!"

he of all people. should know

[Weebler I]

I don't know if it has been said already, but Arum has to say this because he's getting sued multiple times over for sending an injured fighter into the ring.

If he says otherwise, he's liable, so he's covering his tracks.

Since December 2009 till now only one team has been consistently lying to the public, they are the one that talked so much and show zero class, now that they see lawsuits they had to come out clean. Team #48 show some class and move on.
