Manny's "shoulder injury" is just an excuse for them to have a rematch

    Which is why the fight in itself would be better.
    * They'll have to make it more fan friendly
    * Like you said, full out promotion so that means
    - Mayweather would have to play off his "money" persona
    - Actual press tour
    - Press conferences open to public, fans
    - They'll just have to put in 5x more effort in promotion which
    only benefits the fans
    - Full, or greater, 24/7 and All-Access series

    * Overall prices will be cheaper
    - It's a rematch
    - It's in a bigger arena that sits an extra 5,000 people
    - It'll be more fan friendly and less of a "A-lister event"

    * Fight will be better (this isn't guaranteed)
    - Pacquiao will be healthy
    - Fighters are comfortable with each other
    - Familiarity w/ each other's styles
    - The ridiculous amount of pressure (on both) is much less

    I think a rematch would be better for fans in general since the first fight was solely (and I mean solely) about money.

    Ya I think that's a fair assessment. I think they might even be able to get up to 2.5mil. I just hope it doesn't happen. I'd like them both to retire so we can finally move on from all this.

    Some people say Pacquiao checked no for injury which says he was healthy, yet below he had lidocaine, cortisone, PCP, toradol, and other meds marked down. Obviously something wasn't right. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to put two and two together.

    So you're accusing Team Pac of incompetence?

    The NSAC & Vegas are 1005 to blame The corruption has at last been exposed for all to see . But ts easier to try to blame Pacquaio for not filling in paperwork than to accuse a boxing commission of corruption
    Just my honest opinion!!

    May also realizes Manny isnt a very dangerous fight so wants a rematch. He can run all day away from Manny like the first fight and get an east w

    You, boxing master, and abuffy all need to wake up. It was a one sided fight. Packs shoulder was not an issue during the fight, you can't watch that fight and see pax complain once in his corner about his shoulder. You can't complain about the Nevada Athletic commission, they have same rules for all fighters. This fight was over after the first round, go back and look at pac going back to his corner after the first round. He was lost and outclassed. Blame Freddie and pac for having 5 years to plan and not coming up with one. A week before the fight manny said if he boxes we have a plan, if he fights we have a plan. Well that plan was to look like a sparring partner and he executed well

    And an extra 180 mill in his pocket. Low risk, high reward. It's like asking someone if they'd like to win the lottery again. Uhhh, duh.

    Pacquiao did lose. I've never said that he won, not ONCE. Also, I don't know what was said in the corner because the telecast only showed maybe 20% of what they said. However, Fortune and Roach say Pacquiao was complaining in the corner about his shoulder.

    Someone/people dropped the ball. I don't know who, but it doesn't matter anymore. What's done is done. Pac decided to suck it up and fight when he was denied the shot, injured it worse, get surgery and has to live with his performance.
