Fight of

is now battle
in court as fans
sue Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Boxing
fans across the country
and their lawyers are call-
ing the hyped-up fight be-
tween Manny Pacquiao
and Floyd Mayweather
Jr. a fraud and want their
money back, and then
some.
At least 32 U.S. lawsuits
seeking class-action status
allege Pacquiao should
have disclosed a shoulder
injury to fans before the
fight, which Mayweather
won in a unanimous deci-
sion after 12 rounds that
most fans thought didn’t
live up to the hype.
Fight of the century? More
like fraud of the century,
the lawsuits contend.
“The fight was not great,
not entertaining, not elec-
trifying. It was boring, slow
and lackluster,” according
to a lawsuit filed in Texas
alleging racketeering, a
claim usually reserved for
organized crime.
