Comments Thread For: J. Mayweather: Pacquiao Not Being a Man Killed Floyd Rematch

[iamboxing]

One thing is for sure, Pac was not in Beast-Mode against Floyd....he hasnt been in Beast-Mode for some time now,the fight happened years to late.
And we dont need a rematch, both should retire or stay retired.

He was in beast-mode when he fought Bradley.

Jeff, Floyd looked like garbage, held on for dear life. He used illegal IV's, had his own medical teams doing things in his house instead of an approved medical facility. A guy with a bum arm still put hands all over your nephew and had him the least offensive in any fight out of his entire career. Floyd won't rematch Pac because he knows it's too risky.

June 12, 2015:

So, to the public, it was a boring fight, much less than the hype promised. But, immediately afterward, it got more bizarre, as only boxing seems able to do.

Nobody knew about Pacquiao's pre-fight injury, but in revealing it to the gathered media afterward, Team Pacquiao did its best Cool Hand Luke imitation. It had a failure to communicate — with each other.

Roach said he was surprised when one of the first questions in the post-match news conference was about the injury. He had been told on the way out, by Top Rank's head man, Bob Arum, to say nothing. But apparently it was Arum, angry that the Nevada Athletic Commission had not allowed Pacquiao to be given a doctor-approved and legal painkiller injection just before the fight, who clued in a couple of reporters just before the conference.

Pacquiao apparently had no marching orders, so as soon as the question came up, he told the truth about the injury and the technicality that disallowed his pain-killing shot.

Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz, who had filled out the form for the commission that would have allowed the injection had Koncz checked "Yes" in a box that asked about any injuries, was also, according to Roach, recommending that mum be the word on the injury.

But once Arum told the two reporters, and once Pacquiao publicly told all, there was no turning back. Now, Mayweather could — and did — spout off about Pacquiao being a guy looking for excuses.

Soon, a member of the Nevada commission was taking the microphone to refute any wrongdoing or unfairness on their part, Arum was spouting back, and the public saw a sport, disintegrating before its eyes. It probably had expected this all along. But the magnitude of this fight seemed to allow some denial. Boxing wouldn't let its usual mess happen at Mayweather-Pacquiao, would it?

Yes it would. The usual odor became a stench.

"This whole thing will hurt us for a while," said Roach, who admitted that, when Pacquiao suffered the rotator cuff injury in training about three weeks before the fight, he had pushed for a postponement. But others, including Pacquiao, hoped it would heal and wanted to push on. And they thought it had.

Hmm... I see now why Ward won't rematch Kovalev. He's got feminine feelings like Floyd. He's hurt.

Pacquiao's constant b*tching and excuses cost him millions. . that whole shoulder crap was nonsense from the jump, just a guy who got toyed with afraid to give props or respect. but Pacquiao was so easy for Floyd it looked like a sparring session, no need for a rematch really.

I agree with that, before the fight I thought Pacquiao would give Floyd problems with his aggressive style. But during the fight I remember thinking " man Marcos Maidana did way better than Pac, Floyd making this look easy". And truth be told Manny needs to retire to

It's sad but it's true that all the Mayweathers are such basterds !!!!

Not interested in the rematch, but this guy is talking out of his ass again as if the rematch is worth zero dollars for his nephew. Earning a minimum of $100 million is no laughing matter. People are too dumb to believe what comes out of this guy's mouth. Let him keep fooling himself.
