    Manny To SUE Mayweather

    If this Has Been Posted Sorry

    "Saying that his character and person has been questioned, maligned, damaged and tarnished by baseless and false accusations, pound-for-pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao and promoter Top Rank Inc. announced today the filing of a lawsuit within the next few days against the Mayweathers, Floyd Sr. and Jr., et al, and Golden Boy Promotions. “Enough is enough. These people, Mayweather Sr., Jr., and Golden Boy Promotions, think it is a joke and a right to accuse someone wrongly of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. I have tried to just brush it off as a mere pre-fight ploy but I think they have gone overboard,” said Pacquiao in Tagalog while celebrating Christmas with his family here in Sarangani, Philippines.

    “I have instructed my promoter, Bob Arum, head of Top Rank Inc., to help me out in the filing of the case as soon as possible because I have had people coming over to me now asking if I really take performance-enhancing drugs and I have cheated my way into becoming the No. 1 boxer in the world,” said Pacquiao.

    Libel, slander and defamation suits are being readied against the accused to once and for all clear out Pacquiao’s good name and character.

    This week, Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions came out with a press release threatening to put a stop to the projected biggest fight in boxing history between the two top pound-for-pound fighters in the world unless Pacman agrees to Olympic-style drug testing.

    “I maintain and assure everyone that I have not used any form or kind of steroids and that my way to the top is a result of hard work, hard work, hard work and a lot of blood spilled from my past battles in the ring, not outside of it,” added the Filipino champion who just turned 31 a week ago. “I have no idea what steroids look like and my fear in God has kept me safe and victorious through all these years.”

    “Now, I say to Floyd Mayweather Jr., don’t be a coward and face me in the ring, mano-a-mano and shut your big, pretty mouth, so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring,” said Pacquiao, who has been contemplating on filing a case against Mayweather Sr. even before the start of his Nov. 14 fight with Miguel Angel Cotto. “I did not sue because I did not want to get distracted during that time because I was preparing for one of the toughest fights in my career.”

    “Pretty Boy Floyd, face me instead on March 13 in Las Vegas and not in some talk show forum or in press releases written for you by people who don’t even know me. Face me in a fight where I get to punch back. You and your cohorts have accused me of using performance-enhancing drugs. Now, I say, the burden of proof should now come from you, not me,” said Pacquiao, the only seven-time, seven-weight division champion in the history of the sport.

    Pacquiao said he is not against any form of drug testing mandated by any state athletic sports commission whenever, wherever he fights. He just finds it funny and ****** to change a system that has been set for decades now. Pacquiao has undergone drug testing and other medical examinations before and after every fight over the past 15 years and has never failed any of these tests.

    “These people think they are doing the sport a great service. They are not,” added Pacquiao. “To Floyd, despite all these accusations, may your Christmas be merry and I will see you in court, soon, too.” "

        Pac won't win. There's something called FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Mayweather Snr and Jr and entitled to their OPINION which they both stated was their opinion.

          Again, Floyd Mayweather Jr never claimed Pac was taking steroids. He only said he wanted to ensure it was a fair fight.
          Pac does not have a case.

              calling someone a lousy fighter is opinion. accusing someone of using illegal drugs to gain profit is malicious defamation.

              freedom of speech is not absolute.

                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)

                      oh, i forgot about Junior.

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