Manny Pacquiao could be in hot water after failing to disclose his shoulder injury before his fight with Floyd Mayweather.
The Filipino lost Saturday’s clash in Vegas by unanimous decision, but complained of a shoulder problem in the aftermath of the defeat.
In a pre-fight questionnaire, one of the questions read: “Have you had any injury to your shoulders, elbows, or hands that needed evaluation or examination? If yes, explain…” Pacquiao ticked ‘no’.
The only things Pacquiao disclosed in the questionnaire were the medicines which he had taken in the last month.
Accoridng to the document, by signing, both Pacquiao and his adviser Michael Koncz “hereby swear under penalty of perjury, that the above information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge”.
“Disclosure is a big thing for us, and honesty,” Cisco Aguilar, the Nevada Athletic Commissioner chairman told the Daily News on Monday. But they do sign that document under the penalty of perjury
The 36-year-old ticked ‘no’ on a pre-fight questionnaire which asked whether he had an injury and now could face jail time of up to FOUR YEARS
