LETS SAY THIS IS A LEGIT INJURY AND WAS NOT EXAGGERATED
Given the amount of conflicting statments made by top rank officials - it's difficult to come to a logical conclusion based on the facts surrounding shoulder-gate.
Pacquiao fans will swear by all statements made by Manny's camp while Floyd fans have written off the injury as another one of Bob Ayrum's fabricated marketing schemes to aide future Manny PacqiCOW PPV endeavours.
Evenso, opinions on both sides of the spectrum can be supported by some factual reasoning. Given the information provided, the end result is a conflicting conclusion. Its illogical to think Pacquiao was or was not injured.
But then there is the red mark on Pacquiao right shoulder that manifested during the fight.
Considering the statements made by Manny's team about the nature of the injury - whether or not you believe them - along with the fact there were no visible symptoms of a severe tear or any indication from Manny nor his corner to support an injury during the fight - how can the injury cause a red mark on his shoulder? Can someone point me to the medical literature that supports such a claim consistent with the severity of Manny's injury?
The red mark on Manny shoulder, however, is consistent to a skin reaction caused by an injection.
Mens rea is a legal phrase used to describe the mental state a person must be in while committing a crime for it to be intentional. It can refer to a general intent to break the law or a specific, premeditated plan to commit a particular offense
Much has been made about Manny expecting an injection of painkillers prior to the fight as reasoning for not postponing the event.
However, NSAC claims they were not informed of an injury and denied the toradol injection hours before the fight.
Being that Manny's team claimed USADA gave prior consent - because the substance nor method was banned - one can speculate that this can be the justification needed to proceed with the planned injection anyway especially if said person practices law.
"The bottom line is that we weren't trying to hide anything. If we had wanted to, we could have done the injection at the hotel before the fight and nobody would have known but we didn't want to hide anything,” - Michael Kontz
This is the same Lawyer who took responsibility for the incorrect prefight form - holding himself accountable - by suggesting he didn't understand a simple yes or no question regarding the shoulder injury.
The same team that, as Thomas Hauser suggested, did not disclose the injury out of fear that mayweather may use it against him.
This statement becomes very suspicious.
What would stop them from sticking Manny with a needle? Nothing. As Kontz pointed out, no one would know.
"It felt like a needle was being stuck into my shoulder," - Manny describing the injury.
How convenient of Manny.
But that puts everything into perspective.
Manny didn't show signs of injury during the fight.
Mannys coner inexplicably ignorned the shoulder injury in between rounds - did they forget he was asking for toradol hours earlier?
Logical conclusion : Manny was juiced up on painkillers.
