Two fans filed a class action lawsuit against Manny Pacquiao and his team for failing to disclose a serious shoulder injury prior to the fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. last weekend.
After losing to Mayweather by unanimous decision, Pacquiao’s camp said the fighter was trying to compete despite a severe shoulder injury. The fans filed suit against Pacquiao, Koncz, and Pacquiao’s promoter Top Rank for hiding the injury and not disclosing it, letting Pacquiao carry on with the fight as damaged goods.
And the fans aren’t about to win this suit because you cannot guarantee the health of a fighter going into a fight, and paying to watch it comes with inherent risks that the show may be a dud.
