Manny Pacquiao is to undergo shoulder surgery just days after losing to Floyd Mayweather in the richest fight in boxing history. "We have an MRI scan that confirms he has a rotator cuff tear. He has a significant tear," surgeon Neal ElAttrache told ESPN.com late Monday. After losing a unanimous decision to Mayweather in Las Vegas at the weekend, Pacquiao revealed he had fought despite a shoulder injury though he refused to blame the problem for his defeat. The Nevada State Athletic Commission refused Pacquiao permission to take an anti-inflammatory shot before the fight, saying he had not declared the injury in advance. This is disputed by the Pacquiao camp which maintains everything was done correctly. However, with Pacquiao now facing up to a year on the sidelines, his chances of a rematch with Mayweather have now vanished. Mayweather, still unbeaten after 48 professional fights, has said he intends to take on one more bout in September before retiring. |
