I gave Manny huge respect until......

What's going to happen is that Pac, Roach and Arum are going to drill the public with the injury excuse backed with the biased reffing & lack of clinching points deduction, corrupt NSAC judging and the denied pain killer shot as reasons for the rematch.

They're going to demand that the fight be in Macao where they'll claim they'll get a fair fight.

Mayweather will not accept this and they'll make Mayweather look like he's scared to take the rematch because he knows he can't win against an uninjured Manny outside of his Vegas safe haven with corrupt judges and officials.

Pretty much the usual Arum/Roach/Manny bullshit that they've run for years.

All the Pactards will be like "YES. This is all true. Our saviour Manny will rise again!!! Mayweather is running scared just like before!!!"
The idiot press will report it as such and the stupid public will eat it up.

People will believe what they want to believe. They'll still be a ton of people who think that Manny's "injury" is why he lost, or that he would have won if they fought back in 2010.

All I know is that history only remembers the winners, not the excuses. The bottom line is the fight finally happened and Floyd won by a wide margin. Both guys were out of their prime, both guys had aches and pains, so there's no excuses. Pac and Roach talked the talk, they went on ad nauseam about how Floyd was scared and ducking them, how Pac was going to be different then all the other opponents Mayweather has had, and in the end he couldn't deliver the goods and he turned out to be just another "opponent". I imagine that's a hard pill for the Pac fans and Floyd haters to swallow, but that's just the reality of what happened last night. He had his shot, he knew what was up against, he had nearly 20 years of Mayweather tape to study... and he couldn't get the job done.

I was disappointed to hear Manny make that excuse. I wanted Manny to win that fight (knew he wouldn't though) and i couldn't give him more than four rounds (and I was giving him every benefit of doubt I could) at best. I'm not interested in seeing a rematch at all, and I now think that no matter when they fought Floyd's size, defense, timing and boxing IQ results in the same result.
