BOXING Suit filed against Pacquiao for hiding injury Comment By Wire reports MailTribune.com By Wire reports Posted May. 5, 2015 at 7:43 PM By Wire reports Posted May. 5, 2015 at 7:43 PM » Social News LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao and his handlers have been hit with a lawsuit asking for damages for anyone who paid to watch his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. because he failed to disclose his shoulder was injured. The suit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Las Vegas on behalf of two plaintiffs, identified as Staphane Vanel and Kami Rahbaran. It alleges that the two were defrauded after paying to watch the fight, and seeks class action status on behalf of anyone who bought tickets, pay-per-view or bet on the fight. As first reported by ESPN’s Darren Rovell, the lawsuit seeks in excess of $5 million from Pacquiao, his manager Michael Koncz and his promoter, Top Rank Inc., for allegedly fraudulently covering up Pacquiao’s right shoulder injury before his Saturday night loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. The lawsuit, according to Rovell, alleges that the parties failed to disclose the injury to the Nevada State Athletic Commission and worked to keep it secret from fans who paid a minimum $2,500 to attend the fight in person and $99.95 to watch a high-definition broadcast of Saturday’s pay-per-view bout. Privately, key members of Pacquiao’s team said Sunday that they feared such a move would come, one saying, “people will sue over anything.” The suit comes as Nevada boxing regulators are looking into possible disciplinary action against Pacquiao for failing to disclose the injury suffered in training for the fight. Pacquiao is expected to undergo surgery this week for a rotator cuff tear. "Our job is to protect the health and safety of fighters and the integrity of the sport," commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said. "We expect our fighters to be forthright." Pacquiao’s attorney said Tuesday he intends to move to dismiss the lawsuit he called “frivolous.” The lawsuit, according to Rovell, alleges that the defendants “had full knowledge and information that defendant Pacquiao had been seriously injured and was suffering from a torn rotator cuff,” and they knew “that such injury would severely affect his performance.” In a document obtained by The Los Angeles Times on Monday, Pacquiaio and Koncz signed a Nevada State Athletic Commission medical form at Friday’s weigh-in that had “no” checked next to a question asking if the boxer had suffered a shoulder injury. The form also included notes that Pacquiao could take the anti-inflammatory prescription injection Toradol, which commission chairman Francisco Aguilar stopped Pacquiao from taking before the fight. Pacquiao suffered a right shoulder injury while sparring April 4 and received a cortisone injection April 6, according to a member of his training team, and rested the arm until he felt better. Pacquiao said the shoulder was functioning at 60 percent before the fight, and that he believed the pre-fight injection that was never given would provide him a full range of motion. Instead, he said he reaggravated the injury throwing effective combinations in the fourth round, and Mayweather proceeded to win by unanimous decision, by scores of 118-110, 116-112, 116-112. Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said Monday that he could not answer why the injury box was checked no. Aguilar said since the medical form was signed under the penalty of perjury, he’s asked the Nevada attorney general to assess the situation, given the gravity of a fight that will shatter boxing revenue records. Pacquiao attorney Daniel Petrocelli told The Times on Tuesday that he expects the lawsuit “will be dismissed,” because it makes claims that are not true. “It claims Pacquiao was injured (immediately) before the bout and that’s not true — he was injured (nearly a month) before the bout, was examined by doctors and cleared to fight,” Petrocelli said. “And he was examined by the commission right before he fought.” Meanwhile, Mayweather said in a text to ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith that he would welcome a rematch with Pacquiao. ''I will fight him in a year after his surgery," the text read.
