Comments Thread For: Top Rank, Golden Boy: Legal Battle For Pacquiao Coming

[jetgeomcx]

I could be wrong but 145 was Cotto's counter I think. From what I remember, Pacquiao wanted something like 142-143. Cotto held his ground that he would not go any lower than 145.

Mayweather is not a GBP fighter. He pays them a fee. Pacquiao in some way could be viewed as a GBP fighter on some elevel. They even list him as one of their fighters on the GB website.

gbp will most likely lose their percentage on manny...
this a clear conflict of interest in regards to manny.
manny is considered a gbp fighter...floyd is not!!

Pac has no case and it wont even get to court , I will bet you all my points ?

I say the same thing, ppl were saying this and if they ask you and you say yes and it gets printed there is very little you can do.

Good luck in court with this, they gonna have to sue the Mayweatheres individually, Paulie, DelaHoya, GBP, every reporter and writer that writes it, etc, etc. In this day and age all outstanding athletes get accused and tested more than the average athletes. Ask Armstrong if he had a case. Kobe Bryant still gets tested on a routine.

Pac case sounds good but once you break it down he will be spending more money and publicly will keep this PED talk alive. Its better to move on

i think there's more to it than that.

i read golden boy talked to the usada people 3-4 months ago about pacquiao.

pacquiao/arum can make a case that golden boy is not serving pacquiao's interests yet benefiting from him financially.

i think uncle bob found away to get rid of golden boy's cut.

i think golden boy would have made more money from this fight than top rank would have.

golden boy represents mayweather. golden boy co-promotes pacquiao with top tank when pacquiao fights golden boy fighters.

usada is an accomplish of gbp...in plotting against manny.
usada lost its credibility as an independent unbiased agency to do the tests.
gbp could be lining usada pockets....

floyd is officially not a gbp fyter.
top rank can argue on that and not pay their cut on "co-promotion" of manny.

pacquiao is always a hardhead in negotiations.

that's what happens when 90 million people in your own country kisses your ass 24/7 and you surround yourself with yes men.

i remember when he turned down hatton's 50/50 offer and delahoya's initial offer. i was calling him dumb and uneducated for turning it down.

then ricky and oscar caved and he ended up getting better deals.

the guy is set for life financially and is like an icon in his country.

tough to negotiate with guys like that. even roach and arum has a hard time convincing him sometimes and they're on his side.

just shows that manny is a principled man....neither ego nor greed drives him.
and everyday he learns the rigors of life...and the art of negotiations.

Mayweather Demolition team thought because of the amount of the money involve they will easily persuade Pac to accept their ruining accusation.

Just like what they did to Marquez. Mayweather Jr laughing at Marquez, they need the money, there it is, I'm the no 2 pound 4 pound now. GBP sold Marquez.

Pacquiao if he still pursue fight with Mayweather jr. he will lose everything.

This fight must happen in court for his fans. No way he can clean this up by fighting Mayweather Jr. in the ring.

Fight Yuri Foreman and strengthen his legacy sue Mayweathers and GBP

without hesitation, Pac must USADA Olympic drug testing style with Yuri.

This is the only way to regain his legacy ruined by Mayweather demolition team.

Then retire after the fight. Never mind the money. No more else Pac can do

He is a victim here.

I get that but this was a bad issue to pick a fight over, there is no way to answer the question and look good other then just say yes/, atleast at this point in history.

Getting people to cave on money is one thing but as Rick Reeno says no matter what happeans now people will talk, that is why it would have been easier to just say yes to it rather then go through this.

Like Kenny Rogers said got to know when to hold em' and got to know when to fold em'. There is just no way to win this fight (IMO).

i can agree with reeno....
well, you can't please everyone.
there will always be doubters .....and haters.
but if manny can sleep soundly, who cares what the others may say.
there are others who believe in him anyway....

Floyd can just as well countersue Arum for calling his father a crackhead and calling J.R. uneducated! He can also countersue for many other reasons. who the hell do you think Manny is? That dude isn't above the dam law!! He and his team called for weight-draining procedures against Oscar and Cotto and you don't they can sue him for that? He is a dam joke to me. Cheated son-of-a-*****!!!!

Nobody is above the law, but Manny has the right and he can do what ever he wants to protect it against people w/ negligence.

And who's draining who? I bet your not dumb to know the circumstances behind as well as the facts. Pac has only involved in 1 catchweight fight w/c is with Cotto @ 145.

Hater!

Pac has no case and it wont even get to court , I will bet you all my points ?

just shows that manny is a principled man....neither ego nor greed drives him.
and everyday he learns the rigors of life...and the art of negotiations.

him being hardheaded got him a lot more money in the delahoya and hatton fights.

he was being stubborn even though everyone else thought he should take the deal (me included)

let's see if mayweather caves in too. more than likely floyd will.

[Left Hook Tua]

Are you a lawyer?

he's a floyd stan.

they're all legal , financial and ped experts.
