Insider Notebook: Pacquiao Suit, Alvarez-Rhodes, Donaire
By Robert Morales - If the Mayweather family or Golden Boy Promotions thought the defamation civil lawsuit filed against them by Manny Pacquiao was somehow going to go away, they experienced a sobering reminder Monday it is not when a judge in a Nevada federal court refused to dismiss the suit. Daniel Petrocelli is best known for winning a wrongful death civil lawsuit against O.J. Simpson on behalf of Fred Goldman, the father of Ronald Goldman, who along with Nicole Brown was murdered June 12, 1994. Simpson was found not guilty during his criminal trial, but Petrocelli helped the Goldman family get $8.5 million by getting a guilty verdict in the civil suit. Petrocelli may have twice lost battles with the California State Athletic Commission when he represented Antonio Margarito, but the cards were more than stacked against him. The UCLA graduate is a seriously good lawyer, and a conversation he had with BoxingScene.com on Tuesday indicated just how serious his client is about making sure no one ever again accuses him of using performance enhancing drugs. "This suit was filed because these defendants made false accusations in suggesting Manny Pacquiao took, and is taking, performance enhancing drugs," Petrocelli said. "And nothing could be further from the truth. They have no evidence to back that up. They tried to get out of the case by saying their statements were merely opinion. The law didn't support their position and the court denied their request to dismiss the case."
