WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder was not pleased with Manny Pacquiao's post-fight disclosure that he entered the fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. with an injured right shoulder. Pacquiao injured the shoulder in early April, was treating the pain with anti-inflammatory shots, but it became further injured during the fourth round of the contest - according to Pacquiao - who went on to suffer a twelve round decision loss last Saturday night.

Wilder felt it wasn't right for Pacquiao to enter the fight with a pre-existing injury, because a lot of his fans dropped millions of dollars in bets with the pre-fight belief that he was going to win. Some of those fans have now filed lawsuits against the boxer to reclaim some of those lost funds.

Pacquiao has surgery on the shoulder on Wednesday. 

"My hat's off to Manny for his performance, but I think he could've kept his excuse about the injury - even if it may be true - [to himself]," Wilder told WNSP-FM 105.5 in Alabama. "He definitely [deceived]. He ought to be ashamed of himself because a lot of people bet on him. When you're giving up your hard-earned money, that's nothing to play around with."

Wilder was ringside for the contest and felt Mayweather did what he had to do to earn the victory.

"Floyd executed. He earned it. Floyd's been on top for a long time. He's one of the best in his division. His ability to adapt to fighters is unbelievable. His defense is one of the best, and I've been telling people that," Wilder said.
