While injured boxer Manny Pacquiao might be smiling through the pain at LAX on Monday, not everyone is in such a good mood following his epic fight (and subsequent loss) to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Ever since Pacquiao revealed in his post-fight interview that he fought with what turned out to be a torn rotator cuff, the pint-sized fighter has been under fire for how he handled the injury. Pacquiao is being sued by disgruntled fans whom are claiming that he kept the fight on schedule to preserve his payday of over $100 million.

But the boxer seemed unfazed by the controversy when we caught him leaving Los Angeles lasat night ...

On Monday night, the boxer was wearing a noticeable shoulder brace and was surrounded by his entourage and security guards as the group caught a flight back to the Philippines at LAX.

When our cameraman questioned about the 36-year-old boxer about the class-action lawsuit, Pacquiao just flashed a big smile and kept quiet.

According to Business Insider, Mayweather is expected to make $178 million for the fight, more than any athlete has ever earned in a year. On HBO's boxing broadcast last Saturday, analyst Max Kellerman explained why he thought the boxer made the best out of a bad situation.

The analyst said:
    I think some people have the sense that Manny Pacquiao sold out for the money. And by fighting with a torn rotator cuff, not giving himself the best chance to win, he somehow perpetuated a fraud on the public. I strongly disagree with this. A dilemma is not a tough choice; a dilemma is a choice between two bad options. What was Manny Pacquiao supposed to do three weeks to go before the fight when he was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff that needed surgery? Was he supposed to postpone the fight? So 12 months off — he was already off for five months — he was supposed to come back after shoulder surgery and a 17-plus-month ring absence to fight and try to beat Floyd Mayweather? Does that give him his best chance to win?
