Injuries, injuries, and more injuries plus lawsuits have been the fallout from the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. Amazingly enough, Roger Mayweather says even with all the fall out of the fight; he feels a rematch would be a seller
“That fight (Mayweather-Pacquiao) would draw a lot of people because of the fact that the fight wasn’t that good,” Mayweather told On The Ropes Boxing. “I think the fight with him and Pacquiao would draw more people, to anticipate what the fight was going to be the first time.”
A lot of fans were complaining because of his nephew’s clinching, but Uncle Roger feels there wasn’t that much holding.
“Floyd wouldn’t hold as much,” he said. “I train Floyd every day, and when I was working with Floyd in the dressing room, his hand was fucking hurting. I asked him, “How do you feel?” and he said, “I’m okay.” But when I asked him, “Does your hand hurt?” he said, “Yeah, a little bit.””
Even with the hand injury, Mayweather fought on, and Pacquiao did the same with the shoulder injury. But the trainer feels like a fighter, it’s just things you do, fight through the pain.
“He (Mayweather) should have gone to the doctor way before this, he should have gone to the doctor way before this time and the doctor can do what he do for you,” he stated. “ A fighter don’t do nothing until the last minute. In the last minute, he’s gonna go somewhere and then the doctor ain’t there. What are you gonna do?”
But he feels both injuries are legit, and that’s why a rematch should happen
“You know what? Because any time a motherfucker goes in fighting with a fucked up shoulder and if anybody goes in there to fight with fucked up hands — you need hands to box and you need a shoulder to fucking box. So you’re right actually because they didn’t want the fight to be called off, obviously. That’s probably what it was; they didn’t want the fight to be called off, so that’s why they stood their ground and said, “I’m gonna fight regardless.”
