Arum says that Pacquiao has had this injury since 2008

And having apologized I want to move on and address some more of the misinformation being spread.

When Pac had Floyd on the ropes throwing his bombs he DID NOT simply back up. He got square, and thus didn't have balance, Floyd's shoulder went into his chest because Mannys flurry carried him into him. When Floyd's shoulder made contact it put Manny off balance. That caused him to back up and then he reset. I can't speak for every time he flurried but I saw it clear as day once. I assume that was the case the other couple times.

Not sure what you mean in that scenario you described. I'm not trying to make excuses for Pac. After watching it the first time I thought he didn't do enough to convince the judges he won. I expected more from Pac and credit Floyd for throwing those straight rights from the first round. I'm just not so dismissive about Pac's injury like Floyds fans are and anti pac are. Either they came in with the gameplan of countering Floyd into a big punch and flurry which didn't turn out enough or Pac had the shoulder holding him back and his corner refuse to talk about it. He clearly asked for anti-inflammatory for it before the fight though which should tell us something, right?

I personally think it is bullshit he was injured but if he was, what kind of reaction do you expect about his timing of revealing this "injury"? Before the fight he thanked Floyd. He thanked him for making the fight. He was all smiles. He didn't look like a fighter concerned about an injury. Straight after the fight he said he won, said Floyd "didn't do nothing". Now he's saying he was injured the entire time as an excuse for his off performance.

The funny thing is that before the fight I told my friends who are casual boxing fans, that I wanted Floyd to win because he deserves respect for what he has achieved in the sport but his attitude and the fact he's a total dick stops people from respecting his skill but regardless of the outcome Manny will be respected. I was wrong, I can't believe how unsportsmanlike he's been about the outcome. Just respect the decision, applaud Floyd for beating you, but say you feel you'd do better in a rematch. Instead of doing that, he's become a whiny little bitch, much like his trainer.
