Do you feel gipped by a subpar/hurt Manny Pacquiao being allowed to fight?

As the news continues to pour in regarding Manny Pacquiao’s injured shoulder that will necessitate surgery, Floyd Mayweather chipped in saying he would be willing to have a Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Part 2 in September or even a year from now.

Of course he did.

I like millions of other sports fans got swept up in the fight. Wasn’t planning on watching until the day before when a buddy told me he was getting the fight. $20 bucks, a 30-pack of bud-light and two bags of ice later, I watched the fight.

Eh?

Mayweather is the better boxer and Pacquiao didn’t look like the slugger/agressor that he normally is.

I feel gipped!

How is it that a boxer with a torn rotator cuff is allowed to fight by the Nevada Boxing Commission? A boxer that had to throw significantly more punches than his more skilled boxing counter-part, Mayweather was literally and figuratively hand-cuffed by a bad shoulder. How is a fighter with a bad shoulder allowed to fight?

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was a great show. I enjoyed the hell out of the hype, the fight and getting reacquainted with boxing…But, I will not be participating in M vs. P, the Sequel.

Too much money involved, too much hype and now the seeds have been laid to do it all over again.
