After claiming that he fought "one handed" after losing to Floyd Mayweather on May 2, Manny Pacquiao will reportedly undergo surgery to repair a shoulder tear he sustained prior to the fight. The famed boxer didn't disclose his injury on a health sheet prior to the highly anticipated fight, and could now face fines or suspension over his decision.
Nevada Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar revealed Monday (May 4), "We will gather all the facts and follow the circumstances. 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."
Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett also spoke about the situation, stating that Manny filled out and understood the form regarding his health. Bennett also claimed that the Filipino boxer was asking for a pain killer-like shot before the match.
"It's not just the fact he didn't fill out the question completely, it was that he wasn't honest and they didn't tell us a month ago when he had the shoulder injury. They're not obligated to, but two hours before the fight they wanted a shot that's a pain killer in essence. That put us in a very precarious position."
