    I would prefer a thread that says

    10 reasons why I don't care if it's true, and/or 10 reasons why we refunds.

    Why? A rotator cuff tear is no joke. It's ruined the lives of MLB pitchers. Imagine a sport where the guy needs it to punch and defend.

    Floyd had it in the Castillo fight, fought all the way and won.

    No excuses. :hi:

    He didn't go on a raging tirade after and made all these stupid excuses. :lol:

    Tbh Pac isn't really known as someone who complains a lot and makes up excuses. When he lost to Bradley he didn't b*tch about it, he said he thought he won but still respected the judges decision and said that stuff like that happens in boxing. Thats why when he said he had shoulder problems, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but I think the situation could have been handled better.

    Even if it's true it still had no bearing on the fight, just accept that.

    It was probably a small complaint that they are turning into a bigger excuse, they had 6 years to think of one and this is their best idea?

    Why can't you Pac fans realise that regardless if the excuse is true or not making excuses and pushing them that hard is just not the mark of a champion, or a man even.

    So let me get this straight, you think it's okay to ripe off millions of people by trying to fight hurt and ruining the sport in the process, because that's basically what's happened. If he knew he was hurt the fight should be been postponed, period, end of story.

    I Friday I saw Pac make the front page of the newspaper, the first time I can ever recall a fighter making page one. Now I'm reading that this was ripe off and no one wants to watch boxing again.

    This was the first and last PPV I will ever buy.

    Talks about his returned "killer instinct", predicts a KO, takes a selfie before entering the ring whilst smiling like a kid in a candy store, claims after the fight that he won....

    Now he suddenly has a serious injury...

    Either it is amongst the most pathetic excuses in boxing history or it shows that he had no respect for Mayweather (arrogant and delusional) or no respect for the fans who paid for the fight (just arrogant). My money is one the frst option.

    Small complaint? A small complaint wouldn't have sent sparring partners packing or made Pac skip training. For christ's sake, Leonard Ellerbe flat out told the world that Pac's camp was in shambles and you don't think it affected him on fight night?

    Have Pac's cuts healed from the third Marquez fight yet?

    I tore a rotator cuff 6 months ago and I can't imagine being made to fight with it. I'm skeptical of Manny because he went out there and threw with his right hand. You can fight with a broken hand, but a shoulder is something else. Liston and Vitali quit with shoulder injuries, I think it's bull**** unless a serious diagnosis comes forth.

    I think you need to look at like this... Pac was ready to face the best boxer of this generation while being severely handicapped. I think if it was any other fighter, they would have postponed it. This was a whole different beast, one that had an entire city, and the world, waiting to see it. Postponing it would mean all hotel bookings, flights, commercials filmed, promotions would need to change. Think about that for a moment.

    :lol::lol:

    If he was really as injured as they claim, why didn't he postpone the fight?

    Why did he go on with it and rip off millions and millions of people and people in the stadium paying tens of thousands of dollars by going into it less than 100%?

    If it was true, how come he was throwing that right hand so frequently with so much authority from time to time during their fight? :think

    Vote please.

    Just another example of irrational hero worship that happens in this country on a daily basis, people put everyone on a pedestal and make them larger than life and think they can do no wrong and can't be hurt, which is incredibly either naïve or flat out dumb. But its to be expected because most people a very very stupid.

    Excuses are for chumps, he stepped in the ring and it wasn't Floyd Mayweather's or Kenny Bayless' fault. He lost. L-O-S-T.

    6 Losses.

    Done.
