Since Pacquiao is a public figure, he needs to establish malice on the part of Floyd Jr. and Sr. for his lawsuit to prosper.
Here's what I dug up. This does not include all the other statements made by Mayweather Sr, as cited in the legal brief submitted by Pacquiao's lawyer.
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)
Floyd Mayweather Jr.:
The Rugged Man interview, where he comments on Pacquiao saying the Philippines has the best illegal steroids.
defamation per se, with malice involved.
