Manny Pacquiao Faces Potential Lawsuit For Not Disclosing A Shoulder Injury by sacora(f): 1:12pm On May 05, 2015
Manny Pacquiao faces a potential lawsuit after failing to
disclose a shoulder injury before his defeat by Floyd
Mayweather.
Pacquiao will spend up to a year on the sidelines as he
prepares to undergo surgery on his torn rotator cuff, an
injury he suffered in training.
But the Filipino star could also be guilty of perjury after
signing a pre-fight questionnaire without revealing he was
hurt.

Sportsmail has obtained a copy of the document and
although it shows that Pacquiao was taking several
painkillers, the word ‘No’ is marked next to the question:
‘Have you had any injury to your shoulders, elbows, or
hands that needed evaluation or examination?’
By signing the document, both Pacquiao and his adviser
Michael Koncz ‘hereby swear under penalty of perjury, that
the above information is true and correct to the best of my
knowledge’.
Under chapter 199 of the law of Nevada (NRS), ‘A person
who, in a declaration made under penalty of perjury, makes
a wilful and false statement in a matter material to the issue
or point in question is guilty of perjury or subornation of
perjury, as the case may be, which is a category D felony
and shall be punished.’
The punishment for a crime of this nature is between one
and four years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000 (£3,305).
Pacquiao could also be fined or banned by the Nevada State
Athletic Commission.
The commission' chairman Francisco Aguilar said that the
state attorney general's office will look at why the injury was
not declared.
'We will gather all the facts and follow the circumstances,' he
said. 'At some point we will have some discussion. As a
licensee of the commission you want to make sure fighters
are giving you up-to-date information.
‘The medications he was taking were disclosed on his
medical questionnaire, but not the actual injury.
'This isn't our first fight. This is our business. There is a
process, and when you try to screw with the process, it's not
going to work for you.'
Koncz told the New York Times: 'Number one, Manny didn't
check the box. I checked it. It was just an inadvertent
mistake. If I was trying to hide anything, would I have listed
all the medications on the sheet that he intended to use? We
weren't trying to hide anything. I just don't think I read the
questionnaire correctly.

I guess those who lost their bet on his fight with Mayweather are suing him to get their money back.
