        Arum and Roach know that a full force investigation would be on them..they dont want that.
        Because sung him would only be a waste of tme and money. There's nothing worth suing for really. He ddn't write it or anything.

        But for people to believe this ****** and run with it, is pretty funny to me. Actually it's more sad than funny.

          floyd hasn't breached a contract either...they have no standing...they can go to court but will just end up paying attorney fees for nothing

              Correction, if Floyd then loses it makes them look very dumb if he wins? it looks like a master stroke.. they are just trying to get into Pacs head i think

                That law protects private citizens from libel charges, however, since SR. is a public figure himself he does not receive those same protections. I remember going over this a few months ago when some politicians passed a resolution defaming a radio talk show host.

                  so now public figures don't have as many rights as normal citizens?

                  you see it all the time...ppl accusing other figures or using drugs or being a whore...none are ever brought infront of court...

                  one exception is if the false statements constitute slander per se

                  these statements are considered so inherently harmful that general damages are presumed. These kind of statements are claims such as the plaintiff (1) has a loathsome, communicable disease, (2) has committed a crime for which imprisonment is a possibility, (3) is professionally incompetent, or (4) if a woman, has engaged in sexual misconduct.

                  the allegations that pacquiao may use performing enhancing drugs falls under none of these categories...

                  why do u think no defamation cases have been brought against jose canseco who revealed hundreds of players in his tell all book...is he not a public figure also?...they have a public figure privilege as well
