Lawsuits follow Pacquiao-Mayweather megafight

 

The fight was the biggest boxing spectacle ever, having over 3 million viewers shell out the $100 to watch the fight. The boxers agreed to split their share of the take 60/40 in favor of Mayweather, and between ticket sales and pay-per-view, experts estimate the fight took in almost $500 million. Many believe Mayweather may get $200 million and Pacquiao about $135 million.

 After the match, it was revealed that Manny Pacquiao asked pre-fight that he be allowed to get a shot in his shoulder that was injured in training earlier in the week. Nevada boxing officials denied this because on a medical questionnaire someone from Pacquiao's camp checked "No" when asked if he had a shoulder injury that required evaluation.

Accordingly, Pacquiao could be facing consequences with the Nevada Athletic Commission for lying on the form. In addition, 18 lawsuits and counting have been filed so far because of the omission.
