The Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. mega-fight was short on action and drama. Mayweather walked away with a 12-round unanimous decision victory. Pacquiao, his trainer Freddie Roach and promoter Bob Arum blame the loss on the Filipino fighter's injured right shoulder.

Athletes and fighters routinely compete with injuries, but Pacquiao fought with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder. An injury that severe had it been revealed beforehand would probably have caused the fight to be postponed.

On the official questionnaire (above) filled out before the fight, Pacquiao's camp failed to reveal his shoulder injury.

Michael Koncz, one of Pacquiao's advisers says he made an honest mistake when filling out the form and in no way was trying to hide the injury.

In a statement to the New York Times, Koncz said, "Number one, Manny didn't check the box," Koncz said. "I checked it. It was just an inadvertent mistake. If I was trying to hide anything, would I have listed all the medications on the sheet that he intended to use? We weren't trying to hide anything. I just don't think I read the questionnaire correctly."

Team Pac Man claims the Nevada Athletic Commission was aware of the injury beforehand, but there is no proof of that.

Which leads us to a class action lawsuit that has been filed against Pacquiao, Arum, Koncz, Todd Duboef and Top Rank Inc.

TMZ reports that Stephane Vanel and Kami Rahbaran are suing on behalf of fans who were cheated because Pacquiao's injury was not revealed prior to the fight.

In the lawsuit filed in federal court in Nevada, Vanel and Rahbaran claim that what went down on Saturday, May 2, was nothing short of consumer fraud.

They say the suit was filed "on behalf of all persons who purchased tickets; purchased the pay-per-view event; or who wagered money on the event."

Vanel and Rahbaran are seeking at least $5 million in damages.

Big Boy has decided to take his talents from Los Angeles radio station Power 106 to iHeartMedia. To do so he must first get past a huge legal hurdle.

Emmis Radio, LLC is suing Big Boy, real name Kurt Alexander, for $5 million for breach of contract. They are also asking a judge to block the move.

According to Emmis, Big Boy was being paid $1.45 million a year, plus bonuses and a car. When his contract ended he brought Emmis a copy of iHeart's offer of $3.5 million annually plus benefits on January 16, 2015.

Emmis claims that their contract with Big Boy allowed them 60 days to match the offer, which they did. The radio personality told them he would be leaving anyway.

“Big Boy has been a beloved member of the Emmis family for more than two decades, and we are particularly dismayed by his breach after we agreed to meet the iHeart terms.  I am personally saddened by his actions and the impact they will have on our brand and our people," said Emmis Chairman, President and CEO Jeff Smulyan in a statement.

"Emmis first discovered Alexander, 45, working as a body guard more than 20 years ago, and has invested substantially over the years in helping him develop into the star that he is today," reads a press release announcing the lawsuit.

We'll have to wait and see how this all shakes out.

LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — Funk legend Sly Stone was awarded $5 million on Tuesday in a breach-of-contract suit that claimed his business partners and his own company cheated him out of royalties.

A Los Angeles Superior Court jury ruled for the 71-year-old performer in his action against his ex-manager Gerald Goldstein, attorney Glenn Stone and Even St. Productions Ltd.

"It's a good day for Sly, it's a good day for entertainers in general," said one of his attorneys, Nicholas Hornberger. "This was an important verdict for people that are artists, entertainers, music composers, etc."

Stone, whose real name is Sylvester Stewart, led the group Sly and the Family Stone to a string of hits in the 1960s and early '70s including "Everyday People," ''Dance To The Music" and "Family Affair." But heavy drug use began to take a toll.

His lawyers say Stone's career was long eclipsed and he was destitute when Goldstein and Glenn Stone convinced him to become an employee of and co-owner of Even St. Productions with them in 1989.

Stone assigned royalty rights to the company and was supposed to receive some of the money it collected for him but Goldstein and Glenn Stone arranged to get it through shady accounting, Hornberger argued.

"They met him, they signed him up...but what they really wanted was his royalties," Hornberger said.

Gregory Bodell, the attorney for Goldstein and Glenn Stone, said the performer approached his clients to revitalize his career and promised to make comeback records that he never recorded.

His clients weren't seeking the performer's royalties because he didn't have any, in part because he owed millions to the Internal Revenue Service, Bodell said.

Sly Stone testified that he had not received any royalty payments between 1989 and 2000.

But Bodell said his clients helped to pay off the IRS, renegotiated royalty issues with record companies and over 20 years obtained millions of dollars in royalties for the performer — perhaps as much as $9 million.

Jurors assessed $2.5 million in damages against Even St. Productions, $2.45 million against Goldstein and $50,000 against Glenn Stone.

Bodell said the award will be challenged.

Even St. Productions filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2013. A message left for a lawyer representing the company was not immediately returned.
