The way it came across to me was that Kellerman was surprised that Pacquiao thought he won the fight. Personally, I was disappointed because Freddie Roach kept on talking about how they had a plan to stop Mayweather and how Pacquiao was supposed to be stronger and quicker than Mayweather.
That maybe how you took it but others had a different take on it and that is fine, opinions can differ nothing wrong with that. My take? Sure I can get that he might have been surprised by Pacquiao's answer but I would be leaning towards against it. Why? Because I'm pretty sure that Manny wasn't the first boxer who lost in a decision that said he thought he won the fight.
So what can be surprising about a boxer believing he won the fight after a unanimous decision?
Regarding Roach's statement, all trainers/coaches do that, what was he supposed to say? They didn't have a solid game plan against Mayweather? That Manny was inferior to Mayweather?
We all know English is not Manny's conversational language,so why not have Roach or even Koncz next to him during interviews,I mean take a page from NFL players,cant comment until you see the tape of the game/fight. A generic answer of well I did my best and I leave it to the judges.Max's job is to get a raw answer while the athlete is still in the zone,remember this interview of Richard Sherman still emotional after the big win https://youtu.be/7mlnm3rfnww
Here's that Mayweather interview https://youtu.be/k9YC8u2-ysk
Aside from the first answer, I don't see anything wrong with Pacquiao's answer, sure he couldn't articulate well what he really wanted to say but you can get what he was saying. You also said it, Max's job is to get raw answers so do you think he would have accepted an answer like "I did my best and I left it to the judges"?
If we base the next question after that answer to Kellerman's train of thought then I would think his next question will be, "You left it to the judges? Did you think you were ahead in points that's why you left it to them?" Then when Manny answers yes, we would have the "We didn't ringside, the judges didn't" comment.
Bottom line is anyone who had ever played sports real hard,we all have that emotional experience not just the physical high,it takes awhile to come down from it,Manny's handlers shouldn't have let him out there by himself.
I disagree with this, I'm not sure about NFL but in the NBA players are asked questions right after an emotional game and they don't let their agents do it for them, I think the coaches are even contractually obligated to talk to reporters during breaks from one quarter to another.
I really don't get what was wrong with his answer though, it was a standard reply to a standard question.
