It has emerged that an eye injury suffered by Manny Pacquiao in his fight at the weekend against Adrien Broner could have been worst than some first thought.
Pacquiao won a comfortable unanimous points decision at the MGM Grand in Vegas at the weekend in a fight that saw him retain his WBA welterweight title.

Here’s a close up of the trouble eye after the fight:
