As explained in the fight and in the episode by Mayweather Snr himself - he was winning but 'they' wanted an excuse to take the fight off him. It was a very pro-Pacquiao crowd and there was a concern that they might sway the judges by cheering every time Manny swung and missed. Robberies exist in boxing, this thankfully wasn't the case on May 2nd.
'Significant' not 'severe'. It was fine for him to fight through some wars from 2008 onward including some of his biggest wins. No excuses.
What he actually said was that the judges would likely be favouring Manny, not that floyd was losing. He wanted floyd to pick up the pace and not give the judges an excuse to give Pacquiao any rounds. Given that Pacquiao has recieved multiple questionable decisions over Juan Manuel Marquez its not impossible that Pacquiao would be given the nod if the fight was even remotely close in the later rounds.
This shoulder thing was a ready made excuse they had planned for years. They knew they had no chance to beat PBF.
While watching i noticed Pac had his kid in right arm while getting off bus lol seriously hurting his public image with making up ****...
WTF? Pac was robbed against Bradley. Mayweather also received the nod in Castillo I and Maidana I (I also had the latter for Floyd with a narrow margin, but could have gone either way).
