Manny Pacquiao Post Fight Interview: Could someone translate?

From my wife:

- About Floyd rematch, I'll like it but I will have my shoulder fixed first
- Takes 4-6 months before training after surgery
- Injury was gone but came back after 4th round
- Lawyer will take care of the case
- We won the fight (wtf?). Injury is just an excuse? I will undergo operation so it is not an excuse.
- Why went to fight with injury? My lawyers will reply to that.
- Koncz is responsible according to him. I will replace him! Jokingly. You'll get fined. My lawyers will take care of that.
- Who filled up the form? Michael Koncz!
- I don't have anything to hide. Again, why pushed through with the fight with injury? I can take it. The shoulder was good 1 week before the fight. Only came back at 4th round.
- Buboy started crying telling him not to postpone? Decision came from all of us not to postpone because the injury was gone.
- I thought I will get the injection. What about Roach saying you are 100%, fastest, strongest? That's what I thought too. I thought the injury was gone but I need the medication just to be sure.
- If you bring back time, will you pursue with the fight again? Let's not talk about that. I gave a good performance. Isn't it?
- I want to fight him again after fixing my shoulder
- Next year for rematch. Are you his last fight? Maybe for both of us. Are you thinking about it? Bye!
- What do you feel now with all what is happening and the lawsuits? Just pray for me. It will go back to nornal. I hope my career will come back with Jesus name.

 

Reporter: What's your reaction to the news on ESPN that Mayweather is open to a rematch after you recover from surgery.
Manny: That's good. I like that but we have to wait for my injury to heal first.
R: Will you do any thing new or change anything after the last fight?
M: We have to fix this first and after 4-6 months then we can train again.
R: There are individuals who plan to file a class suit against you because you tried to hide your injury. They will file a case against you and Bob Arum. What's your comment to that?
M: Not really. Actually, the pain in my injury disappeared. The pain just came back after I threw hard combinations in the 4th round. Before the fight, you all saw that I was okay while doing the mitts with Freddie Roach.
R: So if they file a case against you, will you reply to that?
M: I'll let my lawyers answer that.

Then another reporter asked the same set of questions.

R: There are individuals who want to file a case against you saying you weren't honest in disclosing your condition.
M: Not really. Actually, I won the fight. I just lost in ink/paper but I really won that fight. I wasn't beaten up or anything like that.
R: Some people are saying that the injury is just an excuse.
M: You cannot really say it's an excuse because we will undergo surgery.
R: In the Nevada athletics commission, they're saying that you didn't disclose the injury. How will you address the issue? Why did you fight even if you were injured? Why did you push through even though you weren't 100% okay.
M: I'll let them give the explanation. I have to know the legal implications first.
R: It was Michael Konz who admitted to ticking the "NO" box on the injury. So they're saying that maybe...
M: Michael Konz would be replaced..(joking around)
R: Because he was the one who checked.
M: Maybe I should replace Michael Konz.
R: Do you have a message to the Nevada Athletics Commission because there could be a case and a fine.
M: Maybe we can talk about it. My lawyers will be the ones to talk to them.
R: The paper had your signature. Did you fill up the form?
M: Show me so I can tell you yes.
R: Does it have a statement and they just missed it?
M: You cannot ask me that the signature was mine because we don't have it here with us.
R: Because it appears that it was there. Who actually filled the form? So who ticked the NO box?
M: It was Konz
R: How do you feel that it had to go to this? That there will be a case, etc.
M: I'm not really worried because wed are not hiding anything.
R: Again, why did you push through with the fight just so we can clear it up? Why did you still fight even when you're injured?
M: To me, I thought I could fight. The pain disappeared. I did not fight with pain. The pain disappeared 1one week before the fight. It's just that the pain returned during the fight. We cannot really avoid that especially during the intense action in the 4th round.
R: I interviewed Buboy a while ago and he said he cried. He went down on his knees pleading that you continue the fight and not postpone the fight.
R: Because it was said that Coach Freddie and Justin wanted to postpone the fight but the emotional Buboy pleaded that you to continue the fight. Is that true?
M: We observed if the injury will heal and the pain will not return.
R: So the decision to continue came from you?
M: No, the decision came from all of us. Because the pain did not return. I was able to punch with it.
R: So the confidence with your decision to continue came from knowing that you will be injected if needed be during fight night?
M: Yes, you can also say that.
R: So the reports coming from your training camp before that you were 100%, that you were in the best shape, that you were in your fastest, you were in your strongest form...
M: My condition was fine. There was no problem with my condition.
R: So you mean the injury had no effect?
M: It didn't really had an effect on my training because the pain was gone. We just needed that shot on the night just in case because you will fight. It's possible to get hurt in sparring, what more in a real fight? It was just in case.
R: Buboy also said in the interview a while ago that during the 4th round, when you were attacking Floyd then you suddenly stopped.
M: Because Floyd hit my shoulder.
R: He said that the pain was the reason you stopped. Buboy said that you just could not tell them (Coach, Buboy) about the pain because they had a microphone.
M: My shoulder got hit.
R: It was in the 7th round where he pulled it? Your shoulder?
M: Yeah, he always pulls it but before that, I was a bit okay.
R: So if you could turn back time, will you still have pushed through with fight? If you could decide again.
M: Let's not talk about that.
R: Any message to the people? Because they are worried because of the injury.
M: I did not run in the ring. Was my performance bad? I thought I did okay.
R: Do you want to fight him again?
M: Yes, but I just want to recover from this first.
R: Will it be okay to have a rematch this September? Will you be okay by that time?
M: No, he said next year.

That's all I could translate. I have to go to work now :nut

 

Maybe a little bit of back tracking? It sounds like he's saying he didn't need the medication, it was a just-in-case he did feel pain. He was painless a week before the fight.

Sounds like they're preparing to defend the lawsuits.

 

much appreciated

 

The rematch will happen. I don't know if 50-0 will be enough reason for fans to forget the after story. Our group will buy it for sure with four Pac fans.

 

So he was completely perfect and free of injury until round 4, according to Manny Pacquiao himself.

Well then, explain how one sided the first three rounds were again?

 

"Most people" actually think Pacquiao won the whole fight!!

Which is why "most people" couldn't hold a conversation about anything boxing related and quite often represent the opinion opposite of those in the industry (boxers, trainers, writers).

That's why "most people" are irrelevant.

Pac won the 4th and 6th in the first half of the fight (the only two rounds he had a notable edge in all fight). He lost 1, 2, 3, and 5 wide to everyone except for die hard Paci fans and Harold Lederman's drunk self.

 

rounds 2 and 3 werent one sided.

 

Who the heck are all these people that thought Pac won?
