    Well it didn’t take long for Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach to start with the excuses for why Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) was beaten tonight by the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) in their mega-fight.

    At the post-fight press conference tonight, Roach revealed that Pacquiao came into the fight with Mayweather with an injured right shoulder that he’d hurt while training with sparring partners. Roach says that Pacquiao had an MRI on his shoulder and it showed that he had a tear in his shoulder. It sounds like Roach was trying to get sympathy for Pacquiao.

    Apparently the injury is on the level Team Paquaio notified USADA & asked for the use of pain killing injections USADA grated this.
    But on fight night the NSAC refused Pacquaio the injections So it was either back out or go ahead which they did. To me its just another Vegas/Floyd BS deal/
    Its OK for Floyd to have Xylocaine injected into his hands but not Manny. In my opinion Vegas is a cess pit of corruption. They said Boxing was corrupt in the 50's but its worse now they don't even try to hide it any more
    Oh yeah one more thing Did anyone ever hear if Floyd ever got tested by USADA ?? Apparantly they asked Floyd Sr & he said " I don't know" HMMMM????
