Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. has suggested that Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao badly wants his deposition before he faces Victor Ortiz on Sept. 17 so as to “disrupt” his training “regimen” because Pacman’s Top Rank promoter “has financial interest” on Ortiz.
Tratos also disclosed that after being delayed for a period of time pending a motion to dismiss, the lawsuit filed by Mayweather against Pacquiao’s promoter, Top Rank, over Top Rank’s refusal to provide proper accounting from Top Rank’s previous promotion of Mayweather’s fight “is now proceeding.”
After Golden Boy’s Oscar de la Hoya and Richard Schaefer were discharged from the defamation suit filed by Pacquiao, Pacquiao “unilaterally set Mayweather’s deposition for a date only two weeks later” on the day it was announced that Mayweather had an upcoming fight with Ortiz, who is promoted by Golden Boy. Ortiz was formerly promoted by Top Rank.
In a 22-page opposition to Pacman’s motion for default and dismissal filed Aug. 22 before the U.S. District Court of Nevada in Las Vegas, Mayweather’s lawyer Mark G. Tratos offered to pay the costs of Mayweather’s non-appearance to deposition “to include reasonable attorneys’ fees” and “future deposition” but wants to Court to deny Pacman’s “motion for default and dismissal.”
deposition my ass this is boxing manny pacquiao (the underdog against floyd) is scared
that is probably what floyd is thinking. and as i said before, only time will tell if that's a good idea for him to have that kind of attitude regarding this case.
Side note:
Why are Pacqueers so hyper-emotional and dramatic?

Watch out U.S.A. It seems that this man (Floyd Mayweather) is acting like HE IS ABOVE your law.
SERIOUSLY, PINOYS..... DON'T YOU EVER GET EMBARRASSED?
why are you so obsessed with pinoys bro?
were you bullied by pinoys when you were a kid?
of course there are posters who are pro Manny (and filipino) who are indeed overly emotional.
but the very same thing can be said about floyd fans.
But that's the thing, right? He isn't "ignoring" it. His lawyers have responded via a filing.
It's all a legal game here.
let me rephrase my statement.
only time will tell if the way he's dealing with this deposition is a wise move or not.
Yea that was why I was surprised to hear about that been years since there has been anything on that.
I thought it might have just gone away, but I guess not.
word i thought that s.h.i.t. was settled
Damn that was years ago

No... still languishing.
If you've ever been in a civil (even personal injury) case, you know that they can drag on if the attorneys want them to.
it all depends on having a compliant judge who will keep allowing extensions.
Floyd is once again ducking and dodgeing Pacquiaos defamation case. This whole thing would've been settled by now if he had just showed up when the judge told him to. Its only gonna cost Floyd more out of his pocket when he has to pay for not only his attorney fee's but also Pacs when he inevitably loses.
And Arums got the best lawyers in the country working for him. Top Ranks always embarrases anyone who takes them to court and this time it will be no different.
:rofl::rofl: naw yo...it don't work like that all the time.....Floyd might NOT EVER have to physically appear in court....the case is NOT that serious...trust me!!!
From everything I have read regarding this on sites such as this, him never bothering to show up equates to a default judgement up to 1 million USD...I could be wrong, but from everything I have seen (including everything posted by Pactards, Flomos, etc) it basically says if Floyd never shows up he is subject to a penalty of no more than 1 million in damages.
I don't know much about American Law, I'll take your word for it, but that fine would only be for blatant contempt of court. There might even be a jail term attached as well. This wouldnt interfere with the verdict in the major case, which might automatically follow, if the judge grants Pacquiao's lawyers' applications for judgement.
:haha: another pinoy expert on the American legal system...you do know if Floyd never shows up the most he can owe is 1 million USD right?...I doubt that can even cover Pacquiao's prostitute and gambling spendings for a week
Well you'd likely be the one who'd know...........
But Arum's classical move is to have two separate books and not to show his fighters how many PPv's were really sold or what the real income and expenses are.
Do you remember that Oscar filed a lawsuit last year about that?
Arum will say "yeah, the travel cost $700K", when the travel only cost $200K. And he'll pocket the $500K difference.
Arum always fights the investigation of the accounting. Which is what he is doing to Manny by killing the VisionQwest deal.
You're a bloody genius. What was the result of Oscar's "suit"....?? I'd hate to have you anywhere close to my bank accounts you'd know instinctively exactly how much I had in them and how much I was cheating the Government out of.........Shudders.

These are just delaying tactics and meaningless in law. There are no legal grounds for Mayweather's "action" but he has the right to file it.

l.
Anybody see a press release for the Pac-Mosley PPV's?
Exactly.

just like the floyd/manny lawsuit?
