In a post fight press conference. Pacquiao revealed he wasn't 100% fit for the match, that he had requested to have anti-inflammatory shot on his right shoulder moments before the fight but Nevada State Athletic Commission refused, on the basis that it is not allowed. I respect their decision, he said.
"I cannot use my right shoulder a lot," he said. "The fight was still good. But what we wanted to do we couldn't do because of my shoulder.
"In the third round I already felt the pain in my shoulder. When I threw a lot of combinations I had to back off because it hurt."Manny's promoter, 83-year-old, Bob Arum, during the post fight press conference expresses his displease, about Nevada's state ruling, refusing Manny the anti-inflammatory shot he demanded moments before the fight. He claims that they had filled medical report of Manny's bad injury with the commission days before the fight that they were well aware. A claim Nevada State Athletic Chairman Francisco Aguilar strongly denied.
“That is not accurate at all.” “There was never a filing with the commission,” Aguilar said,Then came a question by the press directed at Arum; If you knew your fighter was hurt why did you let him fight.
“Athletes always fight hurt,” Arum saidMeanwhile on the 29 April, 2015 amidst injury report Manny Said "I'm very excited and my confidence is 100% "
Mayweather on the other hand said the following in the same post fight press conference also revealed that both of his hands and shoulder hurts prior to the fight. He also said....
"I had injuries also going into this fight,"
"And if he would have come out victorious, I would have said you know what I've got to show respect and say he was the better man,"What do you think of this drama???
