Pacquiao Facing Disciplinary Action For Not Disclosing Shoulder Injury
The Nevada state attorney general's office is to investigate why
Pacquiao ticked 'no' a day before the fight on a commission
questionnaire asking if he had a shoulder injury.
"We will gather all the facts and follow the circumstances," said Nevada Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar on Monday. "You want to make sure fighters are giving you up-to-date information."
Pacquiao could be fined or suspended for not answering the question accurately on the form he filled out himself just before Friday's weigh-in. He went on to lose a unanimous points decision to Mayweather in the richest fight ever.
He is also expected to undergo surgery later this week to repair a "significant tear" in his rotator cuff (shoulder muscles), according to Los Angeles orthopaedic surgeon Dr Neal ElAttrache, who examined Pacquiao on Monday.
