ARUM SAYS PACQUIAO IS TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Mon, 20 Jul 2015  Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is getting progressively disenchanted with eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao over his failure to go to the United States and have his rotator cuff surgery checked on by Dr. ElAttrache of the Kerlan ?Jobe orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles. Arum told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that Pacquiao ?promised me he was leaving for the US this weekend (July 18) which he?s not.? He said it was ?a serious operation. He?s a professional athlete. It don?t know what to say. To me it's totally irresponsible.? Arum told us that Pacquiao?s adviser Michael Koncz informed him that Manny would leave for the US at the end of this month. In the post fight press conference after he lost to undefeated pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr in the ?Fight of the Century? at the MGM Grand Garden Arena last May 2, Pacquiao claimed he hurt his right shoulder in the fourth round which was later diagnosed as a tear in the rotator cuff of his right shoulder for which he underwent surgery on May 7. Arum said with an operation like that Pacquiao needed to undergo rehab and get the doctor?s advice on the kind of rehab he needs. He said there is no way he will even consider negotiating a fight for Pacquiao until he checks with Dr. ElAttrache and gets a clean bill of health that the tear has healed perfectly and he could fight again. Right now Arum considers Pacquiao ?not an active fighter.? Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
