    If it was bad, he should have mentioned it before the fight. The commission provides you a paper where you confirm you're not suffering from any injuries or any illnesses before a fight. He signed that he's absolutely fine and went on with the fight. It's his fault.

    The talk might be dumb, but the money isn't.

    Pac's and his handlers were greedy for the money so they didn't mention it pre-fight. They let people spend $99 thinking he was 100% and then post-fight cry he was only 50% -- but they happily keep his full purse!

    That's called fraud in legal terms.

    The fight between the 2 greatest fighters of their generation, or the one between a guy beaten easily by one of those fighters and a guy KO'd by Ishida.

    Tough one.

    They also didn't want to **** off fans literally throughout the entire world, risk losing the money and risk getting the fight totally canceled rather than postponed. It's an extremely tough position to be in and Pacquiao took the gutsy yet silly approach. Don't forget that while money was involved, he life was involved too since he's actually going to have to literally fight through the injury.

    This is a fight fans have been demanding since 2009, and five years later you have people from all walks of life talking about it. It's not easy being in Pacquiao and his team's position. Asking for a postponement could literally cancel the entire fight for good. I'm not justifying his actions, he definitely made the wrong decision. All I'm saying is his position wasn't easy and that has to be taken into consideration.

    He still surely knows about that paper and the general procedures involved. This isn't his first fight.

    Also NSAC officials are a joke, didn't even know which boxers are in red-blue corner on the scoreboard.
