Comments Thread For: J. Mayweather: If Pacquiao Won, There'd Be No Injury

[hugh grant]

Only Floyd would come up with so many excuses to not have a rematch when there is so much controversy surrounding a fight! Any other champion would say lets do it again then, its only a fight afterall that's what fighters do! If RJJ fought BH and there was controversy, RJJ would say lets do it again then, no big deal, no problem.

There should always have been a triology between Floyd and Pac anyway. Mayweathers are over analzying everything like they are detectives or something? Pac had surgery after the fight, so is it so hard to believe Pac had an injury that was a bit more severe than a niggling injury that most fighters have.?
Its almost team mayweather are just trying to make themselves feel better about themselves and the controversial win. If the controversial win makes you feel bad, give the rematch then and be quiet.

Pacquiao didn't say anything about the injury, Kevin Iole brought it up at the post-fight press conference.

That's not true. Kevin brought it up because immediately after Pacquiao lost, Arum ran to press row to tell everyone about it.

I'm not wanting debate or disagree with BIGPOPPAPUMP but this was written by Iole himself:

The news came out about a half hour after the fight ended. Arum was seated about 20 feet from reporters, awaiting the start of the post-fight news conference.

Yahoo Sports approached and asked him several questions about the fight. His answers were largely unremarkable. Then, Yahoo Sports asked how Pacquiao thought he could win by throwing fewer punches than the notoriously economical Mayweather.

Arum said he didn't really want to say anything, but there was an issue. Pressed what the issue was, Arum declined to say anything further and suggested a reporter speak to the commission.

Yahoo Sports then spoke to Aguilar and learned of the request to take a shot for an injury.

I guess you could say Arum left a paper trail for the journos, but Pacquiao didn't say anything until asked.

It's funny how they couldn't get the story straight: was it a pre-existing injury or did he injure the shoulder in the 4th round?

Shameful that Pac just couldn't take the loss like a man.

The entire Team Pacquiao did a horrible PR job for this fight, and then Manny followed up with a horrible performance, and an even worse post-fight conference. This shouldn't have surprised anyone after the blood testing debacle. Manny's image was tainted before the fight, but what really made TR look bad was this:

By Ronnie Nathanielsz

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao’s longtime adviser Michael Koncz, has admitted that no contract has been prepared as yet for the planned May 2 multi-million dollar showdown between Pacquiao and undefeated pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Koncz said “its still a waiting game and there are no developments, nothing.”

Asked whether there was a contract prepared for the fighters to sign, Koncz replied “No” - which gives credence to Mayweather’s reprimand to both Koncz and Pacquiao to “stop lying” about a contract when they faced off at the Miami Heat-Milwaukee Bucks game at halftime in Miami on Tuesday.

damn we get it, you think he faked it, move on already, announce your next opponent.

See.....they want all that money and they know that the biggest fight out there is a Pac rematch. When their strategists put everything out on the table all roads lead to Pacquiao. So now after talking all this trash, they are being told that they should face Pac again.

So if they knew everything about Pac's camp heading into the fight like they claimed, then the also knew he was injured and they thought they would get away with the easy win over an injured man and skate out to the promise land. Now it's dawning on them that they probably have to face him again and it's opening wounds.

Packi has been a bum for a long time. He was just a media creation gone wrong.

Shame to let a bum land shots like these on you and limit you to the worst offensive performance of your career. Especially if he was an injured bum.

Floyd and Manny should do a rematch on PBC, treating half of the money they already received from the previous fight as a deposit for the rematch.

Consider 50 million from the last fight to be deposit for the second fight.

Pac was a hype job created by Arum, to get the big fight against floyd and hope he would win, so that he'd be in the same position as Al. They kept mentioning floyd, and fighting opponents that floyd couldnt get away with fighting. Pac's early PED usage helped make people think he could give floyd a good fight. rios, algeiri...really. His last ppvs before Floyd he was only doing less than 300-400k, and his fans kept trying to deride floyd for doing 900k-1m. He lied about the reason the first fight didnt take place, but later we found out from roach, that it was their decision, oscar, floyd and cotto left Arum to make fights they wanted, and Pac wanted the fight so bad, but he couldnt do what others before him, taught him. Then he had to get his "killer instinct back", then his calf, then when asked what are you going to do to catch floyd if he "runs". Pac answered that he was prepared for ANYTHING, Floyd would do. And he complained about Mayweather not standing still??? When asked immediately after the fight, his excuse was that Floyd wouldnt stand still, we've all seen how fighters react when injured, but Pac didnt mention anything to freddie. and kept throwing his right. He got exactly what others get when they have faced floyd. He's turned out to be exactly that of a hype job by a great promoter. and not noble or any of the things his team would've led you to believe. He lost and didnt take it like the sportsman he claims to be. He doesnt deserve a rematch. Floyd took the fight outta him in the first round when he hit him with those rights. He landed in SINGLE DIGITS in over HALF of the rounds, and Floyd kept hitting his ass with rights and hooks and he couldnt do anything about it. He lost and set a bad example for his fans while losing. He's a piece of **** as a sportsman. And the truth has come out about him which is as damaging to his reputation more than the loss or any loss he's ever had. HE SHOULDNT GET A PAY DAY FOR HIS ACTIONS. Judges scored the fight for Floyd and that means he's the victor. This cry-baby will never get any respect ever again for his actions. Dead beat father already proves a lot about him as a man, he's leaving his kid to suffer through the same things he cries about his upbringing. When you look at the whole picture, he was nothing but a hype job and not what people thought. Floyd has destroyed him thoroughly.

This ugly ape can't get Pacquiao's name out of his mouth

1st post? You didn't waste any time.

There is NOTHING controversial about the fight. Manny won 2 rounds. Manny said he won and that he was injured. Do you know why he said that, because he is a lying piece of ****. Just like he said he lost to morales because he didn't have his"gloves" and that the "cut over his eye" made him lose. Every time manny loses there is an excuse. When got his hand raised vs marquez in 2008 and 2011 he KNEW he lost and his faced showed it. But he or nobody in his team gave marquez his props and they maintained that manny won fair and square. Then when manny got put to SLEEP, manny's team started talking abuut it was a "lucky punch" and that "marquez stepped on his feet". FOH man.

Manny LOST. He got out-boxed and lost 10 out 12 rounds. Floyd didn't even get out of first gear for his BUM ass.
