The two people filing the lawsuit may have legal recourse, as Pacquiao lied on a Nevada Athletic Commission questionnaire before the fight.

Per ESPN.com

Nevada Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said Monday that the state attorney general’s office will look at why Pacquiao checked “no” a day before the fight on a commission questionnaire asking whether he had a shoulder injury.

“We will gather all the facts and follow the circumstances,” Aguilar said. “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.”

If Manny Pacuqiao and his camp knowingly withheld information about his shoulder injury just to cash ou he deserves to be sued for everything he made on fight night.
