$400M fraud? Fans fight back after learning wounded Pacquiao had little shot against Mayweather

"Pacquiao's injury unquestionably materially, significantly and negatively affected the quality of the product," charges a lawsuit filed in California, which is one of five filed in various courts by fans who say they got taken by Pacquiao, his manager and promoter Top Rank.
The suits seek class-action status, and could eventually come to include millions of pay-per-view customers. A suit filed Tuesday in Las Vegas seeks $5 million in damages for the alleged misrepresentation and non-disclosure that led to customers to unknowingly purchase a fight and wager incorrectly. That suit alleges that Pacquiao's team knew about his damaged shoulder and that the injury would affect his performance in a fight that guaranteed him a 40 percent cut of the estimated purse of $300 million. Mayweather, whose record now stands at 48-0, stands to make as much as $180 million, with the rest going to promoters and expenses.
It was not clear how much in wagers - legal and illegal - had changed hands. There are reports of losing gamblers refusing to pay their bookies, but legal sports books generally pay immediately barring any official protest filed during or immediately after the fight.
