    yep. 75k is the minimum. it can go as large as tens of millions, depending on the judge's decision.

    as for the complaint itself, here you go.

    http://www.f i g h t n e w s.com/fil...t-pacquiao.pdf

    pacquiao filed for per se defamation.

    Most jurisdictions also recognize "per se" defamation, where the allegations are presumed to cause damage to the plaintiff. Typically, the following may consititute defamation per se:

    Attacks on a person's professional character or standing;
    Nevada recognizes per se defamation.

    As for Pacquiao being a public figure, his complaint cites the element of malice behind the mayweathers' allegations.

      Question. Is this case a criminal or civil case? Why is the case filing requesting for a jury? I am not familiar on the specifics of US court cases.

          Its a civil case, based on what I know about U.S. law.

            don't know about jr. , schaeffer and delahoya.

            i think golden boy can get hurt if after this pacquiao goes to court to get their promotional rights to him off.
            Yea Floyd Sr. is the one with the most to worry about but really he has the least downside ebcause he doesn't have much to lose and he can mooch off Floyd Jr. the rest of his life.

            GBP could lose the long term thing with Manny which is good for their bottom line but that would most likely involve some kind of settlement with Top Rank so they would still get something even if it is less then what they were going to get.

            Not really concerned for any of them, they are all rich (with the exception of Floyd Sr.) and all of them will still be rich afterwards.

                so what do you think

                Matthew should fight Mayweather jr?

                Mayweather jr will really need lots of money here
