Lawsuits against Pacquiao continue to pour in

Kyle Smith ·

"The Fight of the Century" may be over, but Manny Pacquiao is still under siege.

Pacquiao, his management team, and in some cases, Floyd Mayweather, are being subjected to a slew of class-action lawsuits after Pacquiao failed to disclose a pre-existing shoulder injury prior to his much anticipated bout with Mayweather on May 2.

Paul Mahoney, who filed a lawsuit in California, paid $99.99 for the underwhelming pay-per-view and referred to Pacquiao's participation despite injury as "The Sleight of the Century," according to a report by ESPN's Darren Rovell.

Following the bout, Pacquiao and his management team at Top Rank admitted the former multi-division world champion fought with a shoulder tear and could only function at about 60 percent.

So far, lawsuits have been filed in Nevada, Texas, Illinois and two in California.
