MANILA \u2013 Filipino boxing icon Manny \u201cPacman\u201d Pacquiao downplayed Top Rank promotions head Bob Arum\u2019s remarks regarding missing a scheduled check up for his right shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Arum earlier criticized Pacquiao for cancelling his appointment with surgeon Neal ElAttrache at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, USA. The 83-year-old promoter also worried that the Filipino boxer may not be able to fight soon, given his \u2018unprofessionalism\u2019 with his injury.<\/p>\n

Moreover, days after failing to visit his doctor in the USA, Pacquiao went to Indonesia to shoot an advertisement for an herbal medicine and to visit Filipina convict Mary Jane Veloso who has been in death row for drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

For this, Arum insisted that the boxing champ should have prioritized having his check up before going elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have an operation like that you\u2019ve got to get into rehab. You\u2019ve got to get the doctor to look at it and to guide you as to the kind of rehab that you\u2019ve got to do,\u201d Arum earlier said.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao, for his part, insisted that he was undergoing self-rehabilitation in the Philippines. He did not disclose, however, if he was seeking medical advice from a doctor in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect Bob Arum. He\u2019s just like a father to me. I believe he\u2019s just voicing out his concern [for] me and I appreciate it. I don\u2019t take it negatively,\u201d Pacquiao said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he has nothing to worry about my injury. I\u2019m doing the rehab myself. I\u2019m recovering faster than expected\u2026 I can now raise my right arm,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao obtained the rotator cuff tear in his right shoulder from his megabout with undefeated American boxer Floyd \u201cMoney\u201d Mayweather Jr. earlier this year. He has then undergone surgery and has been undertaking rehabilitation therapy afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
