Filipino politician-turned-boxer Manny Pacquiao has been sued in Nevada over faking a shoulder injury before his fight against US boxing champion Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.
According to BBC, the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) claimed that Pacquiao, 36, did not declare the injury on a pre-fight questionnaire.
Pacquiao said that a treatment plan had been agreed and that he was transparent.
Two people in Nevada have alleged the boxer defrauded ticket buyers, television viewers and gamblers.
They have opened lawsuits just hours after the NAC accused the fighter of being dishonest.
If Pacquiao is found guilty of the charge, the penalty for perjury could be a jail sentence of between one and four years, and a fine of up to 5,000 dollars.
