And I saw there are possible repercussions for Pacquiao because he didn't tell NAC about the shoulder injury? Also saw something about Mayweather saying he'd be willing to fight Pacquiao again. Fool me once... *actually I wasn't fooled the first time but still*

It's pretty bad if he didn't report the injury, especially with legalized gambling in Vegas, makes the whole fight seem shady.  If it was public knowledge he had a torn rotator cuff prior to the fight no one would have put any action on Pacquiao to win and I'm sure a lot less people would have paid $100 for the PPV.

Rematch?  I hope not, for the sake of boxing.   Two local Mexican fighters will provide better excitement than Mayweather vs anyone.   If you you think boxing is boring, watch the Mexicans (I don't mean Hispanics living in US) fight.   I don't think they are trained to take a backward step.   At least that's how it was during my days.

I understand not wanting to let your opponent know you are hurt, but what you said makes a lot of sense. The article I read mentioned that the USADA knew about it but they never told the NAC about it. Also that he would have been fine if he'd been able to get a shot of toradol which the USADA had permitted him to use during training and was listed on the medications he was on/may use the night of the fight. Regardless, they marked "no" to any injury to the shoulder on the prefight paperwork so he technically lied. Not sure what'll actually come of all this but just one more reason why this fight was meh at best.

I am somewhat skeptical of the whole claim.   It sounds too much like a self serving reason for a rematch.  I like PAC but with so much money riding on it for so many people (managers, trainers, organizers, ....), this injury claim isn't looking right.    If PAC really wanted to win and was injured enough to effect the fight , he should have postponed the fight.   If the injury was good enough to fight, then there should be no controversy (or revealing of his injury) afterward.   As a former boxer, I can't imagine stepping into a ring with a severe injury.   My fear of getting knocked out will prevent me from getting into a ring what less than full deck.

I hear the argument but $120mm big ones would help me overcome the fear of a knockout purty quick.

Yeah?   I would have postponed it and get that $120mm a month later ;-) and retire with a win.

The only reason I think there is any validity to Pac being less than 100% is the first Erik Morales fight he had back in 2005, he did not look anything like the fighter I have seen prior to this match and he lost a 12 round decision. Later after the fight he came out and said he was not feeling well or something was not right with his training leading up to the fight which led to a less than expected performance, in the 2 rematches that followed he totally dominated Morales which convinced me Manny doesn't bring anything up regarding his training or conditioning unless it's legitimate, his losses to Bradley and Marquez did he say there was a problem? No. Now do I expect a vastly different match than the first one? No I think it will be much the same but I think Manny will outwork Floyd a lot more and be able to win at least 3-5 more rounds and possibly get a split decision or a close majority. There will be a rematch simply because there is still a mountain of cash to be made because of the doubt Mannys injury and surgery right after create.

Mayweather failed to pay the $200,000 sanction fee required by the World Boxing Organization for the belt he won on May 2 when he defeated Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas by the deadline, which was the end of the business day on Friday. So on Monday, the Puerto Rico-based organization stripped Mayweather of its title .

It elevated Timothy Bradley, who defeated Jessie Vargas on June 27 for the interim championship, to full champion status.

WBO rules require boxers to pay 3 percent of their purse in order to fight for a world title, with a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $200,000 for fighters like Mayweather who earn extraordinary large purses.

ROTFL!!! :-$:doh:

The guy is worth over $400 million and he can't pay the $200,000 sanction fee. I bet who ever F'd that up is fired. No way Mayweather comes out and says, "My bad."

I don't think it was the $200,000 fee.  I believe he also had to vacate some other belts.

Not certain, but I think I read that on ESPN yesterday.

I'm not sure he cares what they do.. Now, I don't know how it works. It do they send someone to grab the belt from him? Or do they just make a new one and give it to the new champ (that didn't earn it by the way) ;)

Mayweather has always said he fights for dollars not titles, he knows about losing them and doesn't care, he said he wants the younger guys to have them since they mean nothing to him.

On another note this was a closer fight than some may think especially Mayweather fans, Pacquiao has a much better defense than some may think, he may get touched by his opponents gloves but being hit doesn't happen near as often as some may think.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
