I think the bottom line for casual fans, is that this fight should have taken place 5 years ago when these two were in their primes. I dont give a shit about boxing but i know enough to know that big time fights like these are often let downs after years of building up and letting it out when they are too old or not the same fighter. I do believe that this fight would have been better 5 years ago, and i have no idea who would have won then. Maybe a coked out Pac gives May the business.

Bob Arum wanted that big payday so Mannynwas forced to fight broken and battered. Bob Arum is a cold muthafucka, lol.
No choice but to fight. Three weeks to the fight, after allllllllll the time and effort to get this happening only to cancel and put it off for 10 months? Can't happen. Fighters do have injuries all the time during training camp and fights go on, a fight of this magnitude if they cancelled imagine the backlash, everyone would have said Manny is ducking, it's fake. Fight may never had happened.

Id rather Pac fight injured and lose than have to go through all that drama. I'm sure three weeks out they were thinking he'd heal too, that's why they cancelled a few sparring sessions to let him rest. Anyways, as they say, the show must go on.

Yeah I've seen this posted around and it's only because they don't understand boxing. The colors don't have to match the actual corner. The individual scorecards have each fighters name on it. The scores are collected each round, and someone from the commission rights down all the scores onto a master scorecard which is shown in the picture. Basically this means nothing at all. There is no error.

And now that it is coming out that he was in fact injured wht are people saying? Floyd beat an injured Manny. So, no matter what, people are still blaming Floyd.

Pac, if he was truly injured, should have pulled out but his pimp wouldn't allow it because he needed the majority of Pac's 9 figure cut.

You think Pacquiao should have pulled out? I don't, not at all. Not that I care about Arum but u have zero evidence that Arum wouldn't allow Pacquiao to cancel. That's called jumping to conclusions. Knowing how Pacquiao is, he's probably the one that made the final decision, as he's fought with injuries before and never pulled out or canceled a fight because as he says he "fights for the fans".,

And when was the last GOOD mega fight? Probably Tyson vs Holyfield 1. Tyson vs Lewis was a one sided beat down, Tyson Holyfield 2 was a DQ (ear chomp), Floyd vs Oscar didn't live up to the hype. Most of the huge PPVs don't really live up to the hype if u think about it. The best fights have been on regular HBO or Showtime.

According to Roach,,Manny made the call to go on with the fight. Also said the arm was getting better and better in camp.


acquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, was in favor of pulling out of the May 2nd date.

"Well, I was very concerned about that but the thing is the injury was getting better and better and better as we went along," he said on Tuesday morning at the Wild Card Boxing Club.

"He could do a little bit more but it was still there. But I'm not a medical person but they told me if he could get that pain killer shot - like Mayweather gets in his hands - everything would be OK. But that didn't work out."

As you probably know by now, on the night of the fight, the commission refused their request for an injection to alleviate the pain in Pacquiao's right shoulder. Pacquiao will undergo surgery this week in Los Angeles.

Roach says that the injury occurred about a month out from the fight when he was sparring with Kenneth Sims."They were both throwing hooks and they caught arms and clashed. In sparring it happens all the time."

With the way the fight played out and now the heat they are receiving for the way they handled this matter, in hindsight would it have been prudent to postpone this event?

"Yeah," admitted Roach. "The thing is there's no way you're going to beat a guy like Mayweather with one hand. It's impossible, so the things we were told didn't come true, just way different than what we had heard. Otherwise, we definitely had to think about cancelling that fight or at least postoning it. I didn't want to see anyone go in there injured but I'll tell you, in the dressing room warming up before the fight, the hook was f***ing great but then it didn't last."

Observers noted that Roach was strangely quiet in the corner in the second half of the fight. Roach explained - "Well, he told me that it (the right shoulder) was shot and he couldn't use it anymore and I just said,'You want me to stop the fight?'

According to the trainer, his fighters response was - 'No, he's not that good, he can't hurt me, so just let the fight go on.'

"I didn't think there was any threat of him getting hurt, at least in his mind, and Mayweather's not a big puncher. He wasn't really hurting him, he more or less won the fight with a jab," said Roach, who said that conversation with Pacquiao came after the fourth round.

But you wonder, did they go on with the fight believing that if they didn't show up on May 2nd this fight would evaporate forever?

"It wasn't a factor with me because if the fight didn't happen, it didn't happen. We had an injury, the thing is, what's more important beating a guy or trying to beat a guy with one hand? So deep down I thought about it, I said - 'Manny, I think we should postpone this fight and be healthy' and he said - 'No, my arm is getting better. We'll be OK by fight night.'"

As for a rematch (and yeah, you can hear the groans now from the public), Roach stated - "I'd love to get one because I know healthy he can beat him but that's a long ways away."

Arum is pac's pimp. You know it, we know it, the world knows it, pac knows it.

Yes he should have pulled out because now that Floyd beat him, you have people blaming Floyd for beating a crippled fighter. It's not like Floyd knew the guy was crippled, like how Cotto knew Sergio was a gimp. However it detracts from Floyd having a clean win. Now people are really going to say "but he didn't win because Pac was injured."

Now Manny is being sued lol. I hope they take most if not all of his purse. They are so dumb. Manny shouldve said he hurt his shoulder early during the fight which wouldve still gave people excuses to why he lost but than he wouldnt have been in the wrong and not be sued lol. Got Em!!

Who is blaming Floyd? Only people blaming Floyd for fighting a "crippled fighter" are bitter fans that wanted Floyd to lose anyways. These type of people would have talked shit about Floyd win, lose or draw. That stuff means nothing at all.

But it's funny logic u r presenting - Pac should have pulled out so that it would be a more clear win for Floyd. LOL yeah I'm sure Pac was concerned with that.
