Pacquiao reportedly suffered a detached retina during Broner fight.

[South Champion]

Thread title is misleading. It’s a corneal scratch, not a detached retina. These haters looking for any excuse to shyt on Manny.

I'm not hating on Pacquiao, it was a dominate win for Pac but depending on the source it may either be a detached retina or a scratched cornea.

It may be a minor injury. But Pacquiao may want people to believe it's not too bad so he can continue fighting. That Mayweather rematch would net both fighters huge money.

I'm just waiting for Broner to get wind of this and make some crass statement bragging about KOing Pac's eye or some nonsense.

[Joe Beamish]

Old man falling apart.

Basically, yep. And I'm so not surprised.

I did notice him grimacing at the press conference at his eye

Sounds like a injury of unknown severity not a "reported detached retina".

And idk what his age would have to do with it if its a detached retina or a lesser eye injury as some are bringing up. This is f#cking boxing you f#cking dummies. Mfers can get eye injuries at 18 to 50 in a boxing match.

There could be an issue with the number of fights one has & damage over time, but to what I saw it seemed like Manny had issues with his eye due to the alleged laces from Broner's gloves. I believe thats the same eye being discussed & its not unreasonable or uncommon for laces in your eyes to give you some eye issues.

This is much ado about nothing til Manny gets checked out by a eye doctor.

I noticed it too. They were trying to say he had a cold, but colds don't make you behave like that.

[sicko]

WOW that is unfortunate if true, terrible way to end his career

[bngsdad]

It's a simple scratch on the eye. Like something is always inside there, it's really irritating

The point is as you age you are more prone to injuries, blood vessels are weaker, bones are weaker, muscle tears easier. So being old makes him more prone to injuries such as this.

Is this not common knowledge in your part of the world? What is aging, hmm..

I'm not saying its impossible its age. I'm saying its more than likely from the laces that got all up in his eyes.

Plus this is boxing. Age isn't as big a factor in eye injuries as the fact one is f#cking boxing. Eye injuries happen in boxing to cats of all ages. Eye injuries are less of an age thing & more of a boxing thing. Age isn't helping I'm not disagreeing with anyone on but the biggest risk factor is f#cking getting hit in & around your eyes for 36 minutes.
