Well ain't this a kick in the asshttp://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/12821905/manny-pacquiao-surgery-significant-tear-rotator-cuff-right-shoulderOut as long as a year? Retire. You can't sit out a year at that age and be effective. Just ask Ray Leonard. Not to mention the folks who paid $100 to see you thinking you were OK to fight. Retire.
Hey, his gym is in his house, isn't it?
I'm no conspiracy theorist, but if Manny wants to get another big payday, that's a great way to do it.
And humans can be sold anything.
Boy! Floyd has ruined boxing???? It's time for him to move on??? Crazy, he is merely too good and diminishes good fighters to average Joe's. If any one ruined the fight Saturday it was Manny's lack of effort, driven undoubtedly by those stinging right hands that seem to make every fighter he faces stop fighting after the 8th or 9th round. Watch the Canelo fight and see if he also stopped around the same time. I do believe Pac had a problem with his shoulder, but the few times he mounted an attack he threw punches with velocity, just most of them missed. This is reminiscent of the days when Ali was fighting and everyone rooted against the un-American draft dodger. May weather is hated for a multitude of reasons some of them fair and some unfair, he has beaten everyone they put in front of him, people are yelling how bad or boring the fight was, I watched it in a huge packed sports bar and the people went crazy screaming for twelve rounds... I don't mind the cars and the bragging Jay Leno and Senfield have extensive car collections, Mayweather gives a lot of money to charity also, look it up. I dislike the way he treats women so I'll never be a fan of the man. One last thing, you want to know who's ruining boxing, look at Klitchko's last couple of fights, far worse a giant man hugging his opponent for 12 rounds and he's the heavyweight champion, where's the public out cry? Stop with the MMA comparisons it's not more technical it's a different discipline, it's organized street fighting, if you like that sort of thing watch it. You guys have fun...
Who said Floyd has ruined boxing??? Not me.
And yeah, agree about Klitschko; that's a guy I don't like to watch. He can't help that the heavyweight division he fights in is the worst in history, but he just isn't entertaining, even when he's knocking guys out. I hope Wilder gets a shot at him at some point.
It was the most hyped fight in decades and was a total dud, just like every Mayweather fight is. The people new to boxing who had that fight as their introduction will likely never give it another chance, that fight will damage boxing for some time.
Hey, I haven't liked Mayweather either, not since he referred to a contract for more than most people see in a lifetime of hard work as a 'slave contract'. Screw him. But now it seems that Manny may bear some of the blame for the 'dudness' by fighting as 'damaged goods'. I'm equally disinterested in seeing either at this point. Floyd will take the 'safest' opponent he can find (as he sees it) in his last fight, and I'm not interested in watching a 37-year-old Pacman shake off a year of ring rust against a 'tuneup' opponent. Thank you for the exciting fights you have given us in the past, Manny, but this wasn't one of them.
