From Yahoo Boxing:
Welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s legal team has filed a motion for default and dismissal in his defamation lawsuit against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Pacquiao’s representatives, Daniel Petrocelli and David Marroso, filed the motion Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Nevada. They are seeking a default judgment because Mayweather has steadfastly refused to appear during any of the 24 dates that he’s been sought for deposition.
Pacquiao is accusing Mayweather of defamation after the rival boxer made repeated statements alleging that the Filipino fighter used performance-enhancing substances. Pacquiao has denied such claims.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the motion Thursday.
“Mayweather is not above the law,” Petrocelli told the AP during a phone interview. “He’s essentially forfeited his right for a defense” by not appearing at the depositions.
Mayweather’s legal representatives did not return emails seeking comment.
The 15-page document outlines the timeframes during which Mayweather was asked to appear for deposition, and claims that he has continued to allege Pacquiao’s use of performance-enhancing substances.
Mayweather has cited his need to focus on an upcoming fight against Victor Ortiz, scheduled for September, along with the associated promotional requirements as the reason he has not attended the court-ordered depositions.
But several photographs included in the motion appear to show Mayweather at parties in Atlanta and Las Vegas during the same time periods during which he refused to be deposed.
“He is basically undermining the legal process,” Petrocelli said.

What a dumb@ss No Money, he thinks he is above the law. First not paying taxes and now this, he's gonna play around and end up in jail on contempt charges plus Pac is going to get a million dollar judgment against him.
I think what floyd told a reporter applies here:
Reporter: Floyd they say you throw fake $100 in the club when you make it rain. They say you are broke.
Floyd: You can't buy a $17 million house with fake $100 dollar bills.
Don't worry the IRS will take that one day as well, he's going to be more broke than Tyson. He has at least a dozen lawsuits against him now, from his baby mama, that one he beat, to about half a dozen rent-a-cops he poked in the face, to guys shot by his security, and even garbage collectors are after his @ss for not paying for trash removal services in his last residence.

You are a fvcking idiot
No Money is the idiot... who doesn't show up to a court ordered deposition when there are millions of dollars on the line? Oh that's right, an idiot, especially when he can afford an attorney... or can he? Hmmm... well he did get his car repoed...
