Pacquiao let nobody down, he was injured. Accept it. He didn't cancel the fight because had he did, it never would have happened. /End of threadComment

Bob even said Manny was 100% before the fight and Koncz checked no on the form yet you still post this. You even go so far as to suggest if Manny had truly been hurt and reported it honestly, that he'd never have gotten to fight Floyd.
Anything rather than jut admit Floyd won because he is the better man.Comment

Argue what, specifically? You want me to debate whether or not the judges were corrupt? There were about 14 holds in the fight. That's not an excessive amount of holds by any stretch of the imagination (which, by the way, is where this notation that this was a close fight is coming from from, apparently). Pacquiao claims that his shoulder got injured in the 4th. The lost the first 3 rounds fairly convincingly and wasn't doing anything in the those rounds that would suggest that he could do anything to trouble Mayweather as the fight went on. His best rounds were 4 and 6 - after his apparent shoulder injury (that he never mentioned during the fight and never got worked on, by the way).
There are really only 2 options here: Either Pacquiao and his team are lying, or Pacquiao and his team are completely incompetent or unorganized. Which one would you prefer?Comment

Before you were saying he got hurt during the fight. Now you are saying he got hurt before it, without any evidence that he did, other than the stopping of training camp for leg cramps.

That's Pacquiaos problem, not Floyds. Floyd didn't manipulate Pacquiao into hurting his shoulder. Mayweather also didn't manipulate Pacquiao's team into checking "no" when they were specifically asked about any injuries.

Your story is completely opposite of what Bob is saying dude.
Now I know you do not think Manny would get shoulder surgery unnecessarily. Do you think he would get it if he didn't need to if he thought not getting would result in him losing the $150 mil purse?
Would you get unneeded surgery to prevent losing $150 mil? I know I would.Comment

The facts from what Pacquiaos camp has said is that Pacquiao injured his shoulder in the Oscar De La Hoya fight, which was years ago. That means that Pacquiao has been fighting with a pre existing injury for several fights now (according to his camp).
You want people to ignore this fact...why?
Another fact is that Arum admitted that Pacquiao was 100% going into the fight, evidenced by another fact: Pacquiao checking 'no' when asked to disclose any injuries before the fight.
Freddie Roach goes on a radio show 2 days before the fight and makes a bet, guaranteeing Pacquiao would win via KO. He sounded extremely confident or a guy that should have known that his fighter had a torn rotator cuff. (This is the same Freddie Roach that said that Pacquiao would have to fight the perfect fight to defeat Mayweather, BTW)
What am I missing here?Last edited by jcpryor; 07-17-2015, 02:12 PM.Comment
