Comments Thread For: Schaefer Comments on Lawsuit, Pacquiao vs. Malignaggi

[Ben d great]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is surprised that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is planning to sue his company for defamation. Schaefer spoke with BoxingScene.com's Robert Morales and maintains that he never accused Pacquiao of taking any illegal substances; he was simply following the instructions of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his team [who Golden Boy was respresenting in the Pacquiao fight negotiations]. Pacquiao is also planning to sue Mayweather and his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. [Click Here To Read More]

Backtracking Schaefer

As usual, Schaefer will fire back with pointless excuses. Yes, the original draft was presented. But remember.. nothing was signed. Everyone here followed the story from day one. Manny agreed to it but had a few changes to the contract. Apparently, one of thechanges were how the testing will be done. And it seems that Mayweather does not want to budge. Yes, Manny should'nt be surprised but what's surprising his how Mayweather is not even budging.

In addition, Since Manny is going to sue not only PBF, father but also GBP. It's going to be a "he said she said" thing but recently Schaefer has been accused of ranting before the PBF and Marquez fight about how Manny MUST be on PEDS and Golden Boy questioning Manny and accusing him of taking PEDs. So, in the end they are on the hook.

Boxing has very colorful people from fighters, announcers, trainers and especially promotors. I never was a fan of GBP from the beginning. The things they do are very shady and it is built around DLH image which is a facad in the first place. Things coming out of Schaefer always has a hidden agenda.

I am a huge PBF fan becuase of his skills, I an even bigger fan of Manny becuase he has the knockout power (not seen since the days of Tyson). The thing about Tyson is that he fought everyone without fear. He took on anyone even when others thought they were better than him. PBF should just take the damn fight already. Manny wants to fight. At least get in the ring with him. And for those saying Manny should take the test already. STFU. Both fighters just take the money and fight.

The draft dont have to be signed , the point is they knew about it all along and said nothing untill Floyd agreed to all their demands including a never before 10 mill forfeit and then they pull the rabbit out of the hat on the drug testing ,,, he dont want to be tested for 30 days prior to the fight WTF .

Take the same ***en test your opponent is willing too , its that easy .

[GTR]

and the pointing begins lol! gbp and DLH got nothin to do with this as of now lol

[Blue Heffner]

Manny suing solves nothing.

[switchsouthpaw]

Of course they didn't accuse him of cheating, they just hinted at it.

[trainhard_187]

Manny suing solves nothing.

Except making a few extra benjamins for defamation of character... Sue them I say.. then take the drug test, come out clean, and spank Mayweather..

Pacquiao now eyes case vs Mayweathers, Golden Boy

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 12/25/2009 3:10 PM
MANILA, Philippines -- Manny Pacquiao is not laughing anymore.
After being "indirectly" accused of using performance-enhancing drugs by the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao now plans to file civil complaints against the Mayweathers 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,” said Pacquiao in a report by PhilBoxing.com.
The 7-time world champion said his character has been damaged by false accusations, which is why he plans to file cases of libel, slander and defamation against his accusers.
“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 the reigning pound-for-pound king.
Pacquiao said he has had enough of the circus being played by the Mayweather camp, which he had tried to ignore. “I have tried to just brush it off as a mere pre-fight ploy but I think they have gone overboard,” he said.
Mayweather, who is represented by Golden Boy Promotions, earlier demanded that he and Pacquiao should undergo Olympic-type of drug testing.
Pacquiao agreed to blood testing in January, a month before the bout and immediately after. He, however, thumbed down blood tests near the fight date.

Time to move on
Arum tried to settle the issue by proposing that the test be done by an independent drug testing agencies being used by the National Football League and National Basketball Association.
When the Mayweathers denied the proposal, Arum called a halt to the March 13 fight.
"It would be reasonable to have some organization to perform all the tests on both fighters. We're not against testing. We just don't want testing right up against the fight," Arum said in USA Today.
Arum said he is now working to arrange a fight between Pacquiao and Paulie Malignaggi on that date at a site to be determined on pay-per-view.
The Top Rank promoter added that Pacquiao is also interested in facing Shane Mosley, who is facing Andre Berto on January 30.

[boxing77]

he should defenitly sue them,besides paquio doesnt need mayweather fight,he is already wealthy and doest have a flashy lifstyle,mayweather has just become more talk than anything,when people talk about mayweathers greatness they always go bak to corales fight,that was a long time ago,come even the delahoya fight u can see that he didnt adjust i mean u dnt adjust half way through the fight,even mayweather fans can see that delahoya madde the adjustment which was stop boxing and go for the one punch knock out!!! and nobody could argue with that!PAQIOU the peoples champion!!!!!!

[hugh grant]

Senior Mayweather, Paul Malinaggi (who Pac should also sue) and PBF have accused Pac of roids.

The whole point of PBF asking Pac to be tested so stringently is because he doesnt think he is clean. Pac has destroyed people better than PBF wants him to have. Thats what all this about. Pac destroying people.

The truth is Pac dont need to fight PBF anymore. He only needs to fight him in the courts and win. His legacy is better than PBFs ever will be, so he aint got nothing to prove now.

PBF has shown himself to be a total waste of space. He will do anything for a hard life, and cause a drama and scene. Silly drama queen he is.
