If anyone believes this, please PM me. I just won $110 million in the the lottery and I want to share part of my winnings with you.....in exchange for a small amout of seed money to cover the costs of shipping and handling.
First of all, Floyd Jr. has not been quoted as saying that Manny was taking performance-enhancing drugs. As far as I know, Golden Boy's CEO has not publicly stated it either, so unless I have missed something they were quoted as saying, neither of them can be sued for slander. Libel charges can only be levelled against a media outlet that publishes or airs false allegations. Neither Floyd Jr. or Golden Boy's CEO own a publication, so they can't be sued for libel.
Second, you can only win a libel or slander suit if you can prove in court that 1) the allegations are false and 2) the allegations have harmed you professionally (ex: caused you to lose a job or lose money or lose customers if you are involved in a business of some kind). Pac has not lost anything so far so he couldn't win this suit even if it was true, which I don't believe.
Third, libel suits are the most difficult to win in court because the burden of proof is on the plaintiff and the proof has to be substantial. Pac couldn't win this suit even if he actually tried.
How do I know these things? Because I majored in Journalism in college and the rules of libel and slander were among the the first things we were studied. 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.
This is an example Arum's posturing. Remember, this is the man who once said, "I was lying yesterday. I am telling the truth today."
