So can we all agree now that Manny fought with a torn shoulder on May 2nd?

[chaosisme]

Nah, he threw punches with both hands for the entire fight. It's just that he only landed enough of them to win 2 rounds.

[Redd Foxx]

I believed him. It didn't make sense to me that he would make it up. Seemed out of character and the guy has too many people around him to just make it up without getting exposed. He fought like a guy who was injured in that his output was low.
Some people just think they need to hate the guy because they like Mayweather. Simple minded fanboy mentality.

When Pacquiao first claimed that he fought with a torn shoulder on May 2nd, it was met with skepticism and ridicule from Floyd fans.

But, in the weeks that followed, proof was shown of Pacquiao getting MRI and surgery for his torn rotator cuff.



Yet, despite the evidence, Floyd fans continue to deny the fact that Pac fought on May 2nd with one arm.

So lets clear this up once and for all.


P.S. Pac was denied of a numbing shot while Floyd was given IVs.

Gloyd fans can't accept the fact that pac beat floyd with an injured arm. Pac with both healthy arm ko floyd.

I think that was part of it but he lost all killer instinct before the fight even happened maybe because of being spoiled by success.

[El Gitano]

I thought that miracle water sht cured him?

Floyd waited until Manny was ring worn hard and then demanded he carry on with only 1 arm.

[Chuckguy]

Mayweather had shoulder surgery to man

So the the playing field was even and Floyd still won great / thread let’s move on

Maybe he did have a very slight micro-tear.... but there's not a chance that he had a full on torn shoulder. You would literally not be able to move your arm if that was the case.... and that's not because of pain... that's because your shoulder is the pivot for the arm... with it torn, it doesn't work and you can no longer move your arm (look at Danny William's when his shoulder dislocated during a fight).
As we can see during the fight, there was not one point where his arm was limp and immobile by his side.
His arm was active throughout the fight and he continued using it.... the severity of the injury was clearly exaggerated in the hope that it would gain traction and force a rematch.

Pacquaio filled out paperwork before the fight saying he had no injuries.

Post fight in ring interview, pacquaio did not mention any injuries and stated he thought he won the fight.

Pacquaio goes to locker room and consults with Bobfather.

Post fight press conference, Pacquaio announces that he lied on his prefight paperwork, came in the fight with a shoulder injury and re-injured it in one of the early rounds (changed the story on which round several times).

There is never a time during the fight on all available footage where pacquaio or his trainer discuss any shoulder pain.

A reasonable person would conclude that Bobfather made up the excuse and told pacquaio to use it at the post fight press conference.

100% bull****.

Bob Arum said that injury occurred before the De La Hoya fight in 2008.. then he said it was AFTER the Oscar fight.

then the story was he injured it in sparring weeks before the fight. since this version opened them up to lawsuits they changed it to it occurred during round 4 and Pac was healthy going in.

I got links for all this.

It was a 100% bogus injury. Manny simply could not admit he got taken to the cleaners.

not once in the fight did he favor the shoulder, mentioned it, got rubbed on it or stopped throwing his left or right hand with full power.

he raised his arms with a smile during the weigh in, during the introductions and after the fight. you cannot raise your arms that way with a torn rotator cuff.

and the toradol shot wasn't granted because he said he was 100% healthy on the paperwork. to give a healthy athlete toradol would be a PED since toradol numbs your body to pain. its the same shot NFL players get to play through concussions.

Pacquiao got taken to school by a Floyd that was operating on first gear/sparring mode.

Another thing to look at is watching his fights from the dela hoya fight up until mayweather and beyond.
At no point in the corner have they asked how his shoulder was doing or have he showed any signs of pain wincing ect. Not once. Also not once besides the aftermath of the mayweather fight has he pretended to have an injury to his shoulder. Also again photos can be staged but most people are mindless idiots who worship celebrities (athletes politicians ect.. ) and believe anything the person they worship says without concrete proof whatsoever. The sad thing is even the dumbest person should of woken up when the “saltwater healed my rotator cuff” excuse came out. Smfh.
