Manny Pacquiao said a right shoulder injury prevented him from fighting at his best in his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao also said Nevada boxing commissioners denied his request to take an anti-inflammatory shot in his dressing room before the fight Saturday night. ''It's part of the game,'' Pacquiao said. ''I don't want to make alibis or complain or anything.'' Pacquiao, trainer Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum were vague on the details of the injury, but confirmed that they considered postponing the bout a few weeks ago. Pacquiao got hurt some time after mid-March, and Arum said the injury was ''the same as the one Kobe Bryant had.'' Bryant tore his rotator cuff in January, ending his season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
