How many fighters have covered up injuries and fought on to win, how many have come out saying they were injured only after a loss? It seems like this is only coming to light because so much money was put up on the fight, when in reality that shouldn't make any difference as far as a precedent. What if a fighter half asses it and doesn't train hard, is he then liable to be sued for people who lost money on him as well? Way to many cans of worms this could open.

Bottom line is people who bet on Pacquiao didn't know shit about boxing and deserved to lose their money
Yeah man it's a tough one and I don't know I'm not a lawyer.

It seems silly... but you can also kind of see it in this case because there's no law against not training hard, but I think it is illegal to lie on those injury forms to the AC, which is a government entity after all.

I mean if their lawyers can prove that, hey, all these people paid 100$ for PPV and others paid 5 or 6 figures for tickets to what was billed as the fight of the century, and one guy ADMITS that he had an injury that would prevent him from fighting to his full potential... I dunno it's a weird area, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Either way... not a great few days for Pacquiao (outside of the mega payday of course).
