Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Plans Legal Battle With Mayweathers, Golden Boy

[paulf]

Pac has a case, but Id rather see them settle it in the ring.

OK you lose again Manny has no case lol .

" In the various US states, whether by case law or legislation, there are generally several "privileges" that can get a defamation case dismissed without proceeding to trial. These include the litigation privilege, which makes statements made in the context of litigation non-actionable, and the allegedly defamatory statement being "fair comment and criticism", as it is important to society that everyone be able to comment on matters of public interest. "

Now Floyd Snr being and expert in the field of training fighters would come under " fair comment and criticsm "

Its very hard to win a defamation case , Pac has no hope in this .

You Pac fanboys are getting flogged in all this debate , your ship is sinking .

precisely! thats why pacman should sue, he has no hope with ******s who is giving false judgement thru opinion which never counts. the court's decision is supreme. the court will decide if the case can push thru not opinions fanboys

So again where did Floyd mayweather Jr. say Pac was taking steroids?

The Rugged Man interview, where he comments on Pacquiao saying the Philippines has the best illegal steroids.



defamation per se, with malice involved.

If the case is filed in a state that recognizes "per se" defamation, where the allegations are presumed to cause damage to the plaintiff, the case will roll.

Attacks on a person's professional character or standing are considered per se defamation.

Regarding the "matter of opinion defense," accusing someone of being a lousy boxer is opinion.

Accusing someone of using illegal drugs without valid proof is defamation.

I have real world experience with how the law works. I went to college for alot of years for it. You can cut and paste whatever you want. Im telling you reality. Manny is going nowhere with this.

your experience never count for anything under the circumstances even if you go back to school until you are 150 years old. why? first you are not recognized globally as pound for pound fighter, and probably in the future THE GOAT, you are not a 7 titleist in 7 different weight divisions, you are not declared national hero and national treasure by your president, you were never in the cover of TIME magazine, you were never voted one of the most influential person, not the fighter of the decade, you are not a product endorser of big companies producing consumer products such as nike, you can never be any of that so stfu. do you know now the implications of what i just laid out for your simpleton mind? it involves pride, honor and lots of money lost on endorsements and the fight purse. now like i said stfu and let the court decide.

Floyd Mayweather Sr.:

"I don't think he can beat Lil' Floyd with steroids in him or not." (Grand Rapids Press)

"Man, that guy is on something. There's no way in the world he's going to be walking back a big man like that...I know Floyd is the best, but when your opponent uses something illegal, even the best can get hurt." (Sports Illustrated)

since pacquiao is a public figure, his main task is to establish that the mayweathers had malice in their statements.

senior's statements are outright libelous.

nuff said,, how can this not be slander

So again, where did Floyd Mayweather Jr. say MANNY PACQUAIO is on steroids?

[Maidana vs Rios]

Also, if you conducted some research, you will find very few successful libel and slander suits. Lou Dibella won one against Bernard Hopkins a few years ago but Dibella had Hopkins slanderous comments on tape and proved that his comments were harmful to his professional endeavors.

Floyd Sr.'s slanderous comments are documented digitally all over the internet (youtube). Since the general public consensus is that Pac is on steroids as a result of Floyd Sr.'s accusations, accusations made "with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not," (actual malice), Pacquiao's professional endeavors will almost certainly be harmed. What makes this case so much different than the Hopkins-Dibella case?

What does Sr have anything to do with "TEAM MAYWEATHER" other than being the father of Floyd?

I've said this before, team Mayweather is requesting not accusing. It's no different than Pac requesting 10 million penalty for being over weight, glove size, ring size, money split, PPV rights etc. It's all a contract and for this kind of money they can do as they please. Mayweather's agreed, why not Pac?

It's not that big of a deal but since Mayweather Jr is involved people become very ******ed.

Anyway, Bad logic about your post because Team Pac is looking at fighting Malignaggi (who said Pac was doing something "fishy").

Contradicting??????? This is the fighter (Malignaggi) himself saying that, NOT his father who has nothing to do with the team.... bad bad bad logic on you!
