It seems like both participants of the so-called “Fight of the Century” are experiencing those mo money, mo problems woes. While Floyd Mayweather’s bank accounted is being targeted by an angry baby mother, Manny Pacquiao is facing sanctions and legal action for failing to disclose a shoulder injury, which he cost him the victory.

A pre-fight medical questionnaire signed on May 1 implicates that Pacquiao and his camp denied having the injury so the fight could take place.

Pacquiao and his promoter issued a joint statement obtained by the Los Angeles Times in attempts to lessen the backlash following the revelation.

“His advisors concluded that with short rest, treatments and close monitoring, Manny could train and, on May 2, step into the ring against Floyd Mayweather Jr.,” according to the statement.

“Manny continued to train, and his shoulder improved, though not to 100%,” the statement read. “This is boxing, injuries happen, and Manny is a warrior.”

He opted to proceed with the fight, anticipating the pre-fight treatment that would include pre-injection use of lidocaine.

“That specific treatment had been approved by USADA in writing at least five days before the fight,” according to the statement.

And just like that, two spectators named Stephane Vanel and Kami Rahbaran have filed a $5 million class action lawsuit in federal court in Nevada, naming Pacman, Bob Arum, Top Rank Boxing and others for consumer fraud because they felt “cheated” from his performance.
