Kaban ni D_BystandeR: MAS PINALABI SI MAYWEATHER SA KOMBATI NILA NI PACMAN

I have observed lately, and in several occasions, that this TF editorial is advocating sponsorship of an idea that has appeared careless and does not totally adhere to the reality of the facts. It tries to even consider NSAC, the Nevada State Athletic Commission, as being purely immaculate in how it discharged its function when it refused to allow pain killer shots to the  injured right shoulder of Pacman but, on the other hand, allowed it to be  administered to Mayweather's injured fist. Where is fairness there? If the NSAC allowed it to Pacman's injured right shoulder 3 hours before the fight, the story might have been entirely different as the outcome would have been more in favor of Pacman as people are already aware of how ferociously  Pacman carries himself inside the ring to subdue his opponent so submission. Let us be realistic! The lopsided terms in the contract dictated by Mayweather, even when it comes to the sharing of the purse which is 60-40. And water, sports drink and multivitamin were not allowed to his locker room on the day  of the fight. And if you did not see how Mayweather behaved inside the ring where he kept on dancing and running when Pacman aggressively attacked him, I don't know why this TF editorial can afford to be critical of Pacquiao. It is un-Filipino!

The commission refused to grant Pacquiao's request to have pain killers injected into his injured right shoulder while allowing Mayweather to have pain killer shots on his injured fist. The commission also refused to allow his handlers to bring into his locker room on fight day his water, sports drink and multivitamin supplement. Pacquiao had been taking the sports drink Red Bull and multivitamin Pharmaton prior to the fight. "The NSAC was not fair. Pacquiao was fighting in hostile territory," said the source  who asked not to be named for lack of authority to speak for the Filipino ring idol. Just so Mayweather would stop dodging him, Pacquiao had said he  agreed to the lopsided terms imposed by Mayweather in their fight contract. These terms included a 60-40 sharing of the revenue right of Mayweather Promotions to handle the fight, and the mandatory blood testing. That Mayweather was getting special treatment in Las Vegas was the reason he did not agree to fight at the Cowboy Stadium in Dallas, Texas, which Pacquiao had proposed during the negotiations for what had been billed the "Fight of the Century." Mayweather, with all his money, controls everything in Las Vegas," the source said. Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, revealed that the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) had taken blood samples of the Filipino boxer a total of 13 times since Pacquiao agreed to the drug-testing protocols according to the conditions imposed by Mayweather in their fight contract. The 13th testing was made on Friday, the day of the official weigh-in and one day before the fight. Roach said the USADA would not reveal how many times Mayweather was similarly tested. In the days leading to the mega fight, the commission and Mayweather camp were "playing mind games" with Pacquiao, the source complained. On several occasions, the NSAC entertained complaints by Mayweather about Pacquiao gloves, his hand tapes and the groin guard. "They were trying to get into Manny's mind," he said. In Sunday's hotel interview, Pacquiao said he did not want to make a big fuss about his shoulder injury, which he sustained during sparring a couple of weeks before the fight. Interviewed Monday on GMA network, Pacquiao said he originally injured the shoulder while jet skiing off Gen. Santos City in 2009. In Sunday's interview he said  Team Pacquiao had thought of having the fight postponed, but it was agreed that he would let the injury heal and go ahead with the fight because he did not want to disappoint the fans.

The fight was doomed to be in Mayweather's side and there was no chance for Pacman to win unless he knocks him out. But how could he, when Mayweather kept himself dancing and running inside the ring whenever Pacman attacked him with his relentless pummeling fists and Mayweather would immediately hug and embrace and clinch to Pacman no end. It was a shame for Mayweather to have shown his fighting techniques that is not characteristic of a good boxer but a coward boxer who kept on avoiding the knockout punch from Pacman by running away! To the people who view the fight, especially those in the ringside, when it was announced that Mayweather won the fight it was booed by majority of the onlookers! It was a  shame for Mayweather. He did not deserve to win the fight. The referees, 3 of them, were just like the referees who scored Timothy Bradley the winner over Pacman in their first fight.

If there is any human being with rotten soul and an evil character, it is no other than Mayweather! He is just like his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., who was reported bragging from earlier reports that there is no more rematch between his son Floyd and Pacquiao because Pacquiao will  never win against his son. Let them enjoy their beastly pride and their tons of money for when they die they will still be eaten by worms. They are nothing!
