Conventionally, you come up with one excuse and stand by it. There's no way for the public to ever know if it's justified or not.
Pacquaio's shoulder. Haye's toe. Etc. People will poke fun but they'll also wonder.
There's only one reason you would claim you:
Came in with an injured leg
Came in with an injured ear
Came in with an injured hand
Were exhausted semi-unconscious by walking down a ramp in a costume
Were sick with the flu
Had your corner infiltrated and sabotaged by the dirrell brothers
Etc
Etc
Etc
... To promote a contractually obligated but totally pointless rematch that would financially flop if you didn't go into "heel mode".
