Manny Pacquiao fought and lost against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 2 with a shoulder injury, according to a statement released by his camp.
The boxer could face disciplinary action from Nevada sporting officials for not disclosing his injury a day before the richest fight in boxing history.
Pacquiao was suffering from a right shoulder injury he got during training, the statement from his promoters said. However, he checked “no” in response to a question about a shoulder injury on the pre-fight medical questionnaire, the Associated Press reported.
The form requires fighters to list their medical history, injuries, and medications they’re on to prevent boxers from fighting with pre-existing injuries, True Ink Boxing reported.
