Comments Thread For: Arum Annoyed: Pacquiao Not Acting Very Professionally

[Weebler I]

A Congressman from another Country misses a Doctor apt in the US. OH WOW WEE. I missed a Doc apt before...and it was 20 min away!

^^^^^^^^^ Lol nice attempts of playing down a professional athlete missing doctors appointments due to a mysterious, some would call it 'phantom' injury used to excuse a sh17 performance.

It's a 13hr flight for a doctor's appointment. To me it makes little sense to fly that far when a doctor in your home country could take over proceedings.

Here's the thing I don't understand about the conspiracy theorists, if the injury was supposedly fake why is Bob publicly b1tching about Pacquiao not attending rehab?

Are you suggesting that Pacquiao lied to Bob about the injury too?

It's like most conspiracy theorists, when you point out holes in their argument, they just keep heads in the sand and believe what they want to believe.

I'm sure most who believe in the conspiracy theory would simply believe that Bob is wanting Pac to go thru with the rehab in the states to keep the farce going and make it even more believable, while Pacquaio is likely thinking that it's a farce anyway so why travel 13 hours and continue wasting time on it.

In any event, can we be real about this? Pacquaio didn't seem to be in any pain during the fight, didn't mention it during the fight, didn't stop throwing the right, and the shoulder wasn't iced, massaged, nothing. Does anyone really believe he had a significant tear?

He probably had some minor injury and the surgeon went in to tidy it up a little bit, but it wasn't necessary, and it's being overstated as a major surgery...AS AN EXCUSE!

Manny is probably pissed with Arum. Arum has damaged his rep one too many times. 1st with "he's scared of needles," 2nd with "we need an outdoor stadium," 3rd with "we're waiting on Floyd to sign the contract," and finally with "he has a torn rotator cuff, we were denied a toradol shot, etc." If you watch the replay, while in the ring immediately after the fight, Manny didn't make any excuses about his shoulder. Then at the post-fight conference, it was Arum who came up with the shoulder injury excuse. Manny chimed in afterward, but I don't think he wanted to go that route. That was Arum's advice, and once again, Arum's counsel has brought Manny shame!

So much irony. You're basically talking about yourself here.

I mean, that describes most Weebler posts tbh.

Wow good job pac. You just made your injury seem not so severe, but was so quick to blame it for your lackluster performance against Floyd. Your shoulder must not be hurt so bad if you're skipping rehab.

LOL some of ya'll crazy af. Lady could break her back 2 months ago. If she misses a doctors appointment for her back you sociopaths are like FAKER!!!!! That is dumb ass logic. Granted I'm on board with the injury isn't as severe as claimed myself, but this doctor appt don't prove a mfing thing if you are being a rational human being.

"I respect Bob Arum. He's just like a father to me. I believe he's just voicing out his concern (for) me and I appreciate it. I don't take it negatively," Pacquiao said in a statement.

"But he has nothing to worry about (regarding) my injury. I'm doing the rehab myself. I'm recovering faster than expected."

Lmaooooo. I bet he is. Self rehab , huh?

Probably kinda hard to get motivated for a fake rehab when you just deposited $200M in the bank.
