Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
These two guys are high fiving and laughing like school girls behind the cameras. An hour after that thing ended I was fully convinced rematch was coming. It doesn't have to make sense, all it has to do is make money. There will still be enough gullible dopes willing to pay 2k a seat by the time they push the "issues" and false controversy up the hill.
Why can't people just Floyd credit for being the better fighter? Can't believe all the excuses, justifications and conspiracy theories that are being thrown out there.
If Manny would have won, I would have been the first one to say I was wrong and that Manny was the better man.
Floyd was coming off a dominant performance and a very close call to Maidana in the first fight. Pac was coming off of 3 fights where, despite not getting a KO, he looked like the same old spectacular fighter we were used to seeing.
The better man won, time to let it go.

Floyd Mayweather says he'd be willing to fight Manny Pacquiao again

Floyd Mayweather told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith in a text Tuesday that he would be open to a rematch after Manny Pacquiao recovers from shoulder surgery to repair a tear in his rotator cuff.
"I will fight him in a year after his surgery," Mayweather texted Smith on the heels of his unanimous decision over Pacquiao in the richest fight ever.
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache told ESPN.com on Monday that Pacquiao will have surgery later this week to repair a "significant tear" in his rotator cuff, which he suffered prior to the fight. The surgery will sideline the boxer for at least nine to 12 months.
Somebody mentioned on another thread there is a class action lawsuit underway for fraud in this fight. Had this info been released prior to the fight imagine what the odds would have been. I'm not a lawyer, I don't know if they have to prove intent to commit fraud or if this equates to that. My response was Manny better deposit his money in a Philippines bank or in his mattress. If the fighters weren't making money on the bets being wagered I don't know how that holds up in court but with a class action lawsuit a lot of Lee way is given since its civil not criminal. It's a shame, even if something does become of it the lawyers take over half of it and the betting public will receive individual checks for seven bucks. I joined a class action once with a defective product I got, I think I got a check for four dollars when the item cost fifty, kind of funny, some lawyers made millions.
Manny's camp should have informed the Nevada Athletic Commission of his injury. As I have heard during the presscon immediately after the fight, Manny's camp allegedly tried to inform the said Commission but it was, sort of, not given the appropriate action. Probably, because of the money involved, they could not postpone the fight.
Whew. This is becoming unbearable for me. It's like a roller coaster ride and my heart is could no longer tolerate the drama of this fight.

floyd regularly speaks with stephen a. smith
Arum and Roach and Manny are used to lying to get what they want.
Corvette, yes you can move with a torn rotator. Maybe not with a ruptured one. Pain and swelling are two signs of damage to the rotator. Medication is quite effective at controlling these symptoms prior to surgery. I'm not saying Manny had any business being in the ring with that injury but if it was treated and no one was yanking on his arm he still could have used it.
