Following his disappointing loss to Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao’s camp said he had a shoulder injury; in fact it was even reported that Pacquiao would require surgery. Not only did the surgery not happen, he didn’t even go to doctors or any sort of rehab but now he’s miraculously healed for his next fight.

“No problem,” said Pacquiao displaying full vertical extension on his arm during a break at the 2019 FIBA World Cup bidding event in Tokyo last Friday. “I’m fine. It’s God’s work. I never saw a doctor. I never did rehab. All I did was to swim in the sea as often as I could. The salt water healed my wound.”
Pacquiao’s business manager Eric Pineda, who was also in Tokyo, called it a miraculous recovery. “Manny has strong faith,” he said. “God did it. And all that swimming in the sea helped. Now, there’s talk of his comeback fight.”
Of course plenty of people are skeptical about his so called miraculous recovery. Reports of his injured shoulder were already met with skepticism as he didn’t show any signs of injury during the Mayweather fight, he just got beat by a better fighter.
There’s reports that Pacquiao may possibly fight Amir Khan in March of next year. Khan has also been vying for a fight against Mayweather but continually gets bypassed.
