Top Rank getting sued

[walrus]

It is very interesting from a legal point of view. Thus far we have ppv viewers wanting to sue as they didn't get there moneys worth and legal betters maybe joining a class action lawsuit for fraud for the undisclosed injury that would have changed the odds. Many could claim he didn't think the injury would impede his ability to beat Floyd but the fact he didn't check the injury box on the form prior to the fight definitely adds a legal twist to this. Civil proceedings require a much less burden of proof to be successful. I don't think ppv viewers will have much of a case wanting five million because the fight wasn't competitive enough due to Mannys injury but the betters in Vegas may have a legitimate claim.

Despite what someone else here posted a torn rotator cuff doesn't prevent a Person from moving there arm but does cause pain and would certainly take away power. Perhaps when Manny received his anti inflammatory shots he felt he could function well enough to perform in the ring. I had a torn tendon in my leg and prior to surgery I had the shots and they did work amazingly well but of course I wasn't in the ring fighting one of the best boxers in the world. Either way had Manny postponed the fight the Manny haters would have been up in arms here on the forum so it's difficult to have a relevant conversation here about it. Do we have any US lawyers as members here. What I am curious about is the legal going ons of this, not just the arguing about it here. The argument, of course it was fraud you idiot midget may work here but I'm curious about the court systems view on this. If anything, maybe it will be settled out of court with a non disclosure clause. It was reported that Arum stated Manny had an injury that may play a result in the outcome of this fight, and he said it prior to the fight. So that means the big guys knew and let the fight happen. Floyd may have known the way he was wrapping Mannys arm up but I don't know what Floyd knew. Just more controversy after a controversial fight. After all this there will probably still be over two million buys in a rematch unless Manny gets a long suspension which I have heard is possible. Edit it would also be interesting to see what Mannys physician said about the his ability to fight. Was he given the green light by medical or was he advised to postpone the fight for surgery.
