Lawsuit filed against Manny Pacquiao for not reporting shoulder injury before Vegas fight

Boxer Manny Pacquiao and his fight promoters have been hit with a class action lawsuit by people who claim he screwed fans, Pay-per-view buyers and gamblers out of serious money by not disclosing his shoulder injury before the Mayweather fight.

Manny Pacquiao, his manager and promoter were sued Tuesday by two fight fans who are seeking class-action damages because the boxer and his handlers failed to disclose that his right shoulder was injured before his fight Saturday against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The suit, filed in federal court in Las Vegas on behalf of plaintiffs Stephane Vanel and Kami Rahbaran, alleges they were defrauded, and it seeks class-action status for anyone who bought tickets or the pay-per-view of the fight, or anyone who bet on the bout.
Mayweather won by unanimous decision. Pacquiao said afterward that in the fourth round he reaggravated an injury he suffered during an April 4 sparring session.
On Monday it was announced Pacquiao will undergo shoulder surgery this week in Los Angeles, and his manager, Michael Koncz, said the fighter expects to be sidelined four to six months.
Pacquiao's attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, said he intends to file a motion to dismiss what he described as a “frivolous” case.
