Pacquiao files suit against Mayweather- for 75K

fantastic news. mayweathers have dug a nice hole, time to bury them. iv gotta say mayweather is getting exactly what he deserves here, no fight with the pac so no money, and hes gonna lose some money that he probably cant afford to pacquiao. lovely jubly. so what do you think Matthew should fight Mayweather jr? Mayweather jr will really need lots of money here

i think the best case could probably be against floyd sr. don't know about jr. , schaeffer and delahoya. i think golden boy can get hurt if after this pacquiao goes to court to get their promotional rights to him off. Yea Floyd Sr. is the one with the most to worry about but really he has the least downside ebcause he doesn't have much to lose and he can mooch off Floyd Jr. the rest of his life. GBP could lose the long term thing with Manny which is good for their bottom line but that would most likely involve some kind of settlement with Top Rank so they would still get something even if it is less then what they were going to get. Not really concerned for any of them, they are all rich (with the exception of Floyd Sr.) and all of them will still be rich afterwards.

$75K is minimum.. pac is seeking Millions..

Question. Is this case a criminal or civil case? Why is the case filing requesting for a jury? I am not familiar on the specifics of US court cases.

Usually they break cival cases down into three different courts all the states have different rules and names for things so it is complicated but yea one court would do like 5,000 and less one would do 5,001-75,000 and one over 75,000. I think all cival matters are in state courts, as federal implies government involvement and all cival matters are person to person been a long time since I had a law class though. Anyways Manny will be lucky to get 75,000 if Floyd Sr. is the only one forced to pay damages, how much are they really going to be able to get out of him? i think the best case could probably be against floyd sr. don't know about jr. , schaeffer and delahoya. i think golden boy can get hurt if after this pacquiao goes to court to get their promotional rights to him off.

regardless of the amounts and whatnot...i can't see a judge awarding pac X amount of millions of dollars from floyd mayweather...rarely are people sued for that much and the award is that high...it will probably be knocked down to a couple hundred thousand (if anything because i still believe that he has very little of a case) of what can be proven through concrete evidence... i don't think money is the point. even if it's just $75,000.00 , if they can win it (IF) a federal judge saying the mayweather's slandered him/his reputation could help turn public opinion somewhat. this pr mess was poorly handled by team pac. if i was manny i would be upset. as far as how much they'll pay if pac wins the suit......who knows? sometimes the penalty is not based on the amount of damages but as a form of punishment. delahoya , mayweather , schaeffer , etc. have very deep pockets. if they were found libel and judge decides to award a judgement not based on the amount of financial damages suffered by pacquiao but a judgement high enough to punish them......we could be talking a lot of money.

well i don't know what they call it in federal court. i don't even think federal court has a small claims division. from what i've read 75k is the minimum for a civil lawsuit of that type to be filed. not sure though. i'm not a lawyer.

as in....large claims court? well i don't know what they call it in federal court. i don't even think federal court has a small claims division. from what i've read 75k is the minimum for a civil lawsuit of that type to be filed. not sure though. i'm not a lawyer.

as in....large claims court?

the lawyer fees will be $76k...FAIL! it's not 75k. that's the minimum for that court. there's different courts for different amounts of money involved. ever heard the term SMALL CLAIMS court? wouldn't it make sense that they have a court for the opposite?

damn you flomos are stupid. it says in EXCESS OF $75,000. That means that Pac has to sue for atleast 75k, but is not limited to 75k. damn you guys are idiots. people have awful reading comprehension.

the lawyer fees will be $76k...FAIL!

75K - that's a joke. For the damage to his future earning potential he should be suing in the multi millions.

What is the logic in filing a case and only asking 75,000 dollars??? There is something more to this than it looks!!! http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2009-12-30-1936657975_x.htm LAS VEGAS (AP) — Manny Pacquiao upped the ante Wednesday in his standoff with Floyd Mayweather Jr. by filing a lawsuit alleging that Mayweather and others defamed him by falsely accusing Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs. The suit filed in federal court in Las Vegas further complicates efforts to reach an agreement for a proposed March 13 fight between the two boxers. The suit asks for damages in excess of $75,000 and names Mayweather, his father, Floyd Sr., and uncle Roger Mayweather as defendants. Also named are Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, who operate Golden Boy Promotions and are promoting Mayweather. The lawsuit comes as last ditch talks are still ongoing to salvage the fight, which has been derailed by demands from Mayweather's camp for random blood testing of the two fighters damn you flomos are stupid. it says in EXCESS OF $75,000. That means that Pac has to sue for atleast 75k, but is not limited to 75k. damn you guys are idiots.

People who believe every single thing they are told by the media are dumber than shit. People that make wrong choice in what to believe from hype is underneath dumb shit , which shoe on your foot ?

I am sure the lawyers are already having new pants with deeper pant pockets for the expected windfall from this case. At least the lawyers will enjoy it. All we get here are e-points.

This is the actual case document that was filed. On page 10 of 12, it states there "in excess of 75,000 dollars", equivalent to 1. general and specific damages 2. presumed damages 3. punitive damages 4. attorney's fees 5. all cost of suit http://www.boxingscene.com/filedcomplaint-pacquiao.pdf it really doesn't matter how much it is....no one on this site if going to see any of it.

the fans are the ones that are losing if you be honest with yourselves. this is the biggest fight in our era and right now the fight is....IN COURT....man this is BOXING...if you have a problem with a person, deal with it in the RING.
