Pacquiao: Dela Hoya, Schaefer conspired to destroy me

Share16 “An opinion is protected only when the “factual assertions [are] accurate."
— Standing Comm. v. Yagman, 55 F.3d 1430, 140 (9th Cir. 1995)

CHICAGO – Manny Pacquiao is asking the U.S. District Court of Nevada in Las Vegas to dismiss the motion to dismiss and the Anti- Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) motion filed by Golden Boy Promotions, Inc (GBP). founder Oscar Dela Hoya and CEO Richard Schaefer.

Aside from dismissing both motions, the Filipino boxing icon also wants the court to allow him of amending his complaint into a conspiracy.

After Pacquiao’s wins over De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton – both promoted by Golden Boy, “(i)n mid-2009, reporters, commentators, and the public began calling for a match between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. For reasons Pacquiao doesn’t know, Mayweather asked GBP to become involved in the discussions."

But even before Mayweather gave this unsolicited advice to GBP, the 35-page opposition to the motions to dismiss filed by Pacquiao’s lawyers – led by David Marroso and Daniel M. Petrocelli – told the court that “(Golden Boy) CEO Richard Schaefer and founder De la Hoya – (had) harbored animus towards Pacquiao" because:

In 2006, Pacquiao chose to be promoted by Golden Boy’s main rival – Top Rank, Inc.

In 2007, Pacquiao sued GBP and others because they unsuccessfully tried to coerce the Filipino boxer to break his agreement with Top Rank and sign a new deal with Dela Hoya:

In October 2007, Pacquiao defeated by unanimous decision boxing legend Marco Antonio Barrera, who, at the time, was promoted by and a part owner of Golden Boy;

In March 2008, Pacquiao defeated Juan Manuel Marquez, another boxing legend promoted by Golden Boy;

In December 2008, Pacquiao scored a lop-sided knockout victory over Golden Boy founder Dela Hoya forcing him into retirement; and

In May 2009, Pacquiao scored an easy second-round knockout victory over Ricky Hatton, another fighter promoted by Golden Boy.

Angry and jealous
Angry at Pacquiao and jealous of his accomplishments, Schaefer, De la Hoya and the Mayweathers (Floyd Sr., Jr. and uncle Roger) conspired to destroy Pacquiao’s reputation and questioned the legitimacy of his victories over Golden Boy’s fighters, his professional achievements and his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Acting on behalf of one another, they agreed to make false statements about Pacquiao.

For example, the court documents said, Mayweather, Sr. stated publicly that “(t)he steroids aren’t going to make [Pacquiao] no faster. It’s going to make him relentless and hit strong, but that’s it."

Mayweather, Jr. told throngs of reporters and fans that “Pacquiao’s got the power pellets, yo, and the steroid juice."

Schaefer told a reporter for the Philippine publication Manila Standard Today (Ronnie Nathanielsz) and boxing website philboxing.com that he was “sure" Pacquiao was taking and had taken performance enhancing drugs (PEDs).

And De la Hoya circulated a “blog" comparing Pacquiao’s punching power to that of two boxers (Shane Mosley and Fernando Vargas) who have admitted using PEDs, even though “months earlier De la Hoya said precisely the opposite: [Pacquiao] didn’t hit hard. He didn’t really hurt me."

These statements – [Pacquiao’s] use of PEDs – are false and are, therefore, “actionable."

Bastardizing “I’m sure"
In asking the court to deny Schaefer’s motion to dismiss, Pacquiao said when Schaefer told Nathanielsz that “he was sure" Pacquiao was using performance-enhancing drugs and had used them in the past," the alleged statement is defamatory because it falsely asserts an objective fact – that Pacquiao was using and had used PEDs (citing Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Co, 497 U.S. 1 17-18 (1990).

“Bastardizing" the expression, “I am sure" into as “I know" as an opinion to express future predictions, “the reader does not always take the words “I know" literally. Here in contrast, Schaefer’s statement was not a future prediction, his statements concerned past and/or current conduct."

When De La Hoya said in his “blog" that “I’m not saying yes or no. I’m just saying that now people have to wonder" (that Pacquiao used PEDs), De La Hoya may not escape liability for “prefacing statements with cautionary language or concluding them with a question mark" because De La Hoya’s statement implies “an objective fact" that the “jury" (will) determine whether that meaning was attributed to it by the recipient of the communication."

This conspiracy theory is as ridiculous as some of the crap I read daily on this message board.

Why do you hate Oscar so much?

The same reason why most *****s hate Arum...


All promoter lie..

**** them all!!!

I agree these test are a joke.

Let's say Manny take these test

If he hits Floyd flush and Floyd doesn't get KTFO....Manny was on PED's
Manny shows any signs of fatigue in this fight........Manny was on PED's
Manny has a lower connect percentage........Manny was on PED's
Manny hurts Floyd and doesn't finish Floyd.....Manny was on PED's

Basically he is in a lose-lose situation, which is why if he refuses to accept testing all the way up to the fight I wouldn't get upset one bit. There is no pleasing these hating @ss clowns and god-forbid if Manny even loses to Floyd; and all out crusade to tarnish his legacy will be set out by Floyd and his garbage ass fan base.

Floyd fans aren't the ones who have started making excuses just in case Floyd loses. The Pac worshippers are doing that. So far, I have heard that if Pac loses: it will be because the blood tests weakened him; it will be because Pac is naturally smaller because he started at 106; it will be because he is a part time politician who was more focused on political issues than training for a Mayweather fight; it will be because Mayweather ran (by that they mean he didn't stand still in the middle of the ring and let Pac hit him).

Mayweather fans have said all along that Mayweather will beat Pac's ass, no ifs, ands or buts. We have total confidence in our fighter. The Pac worshippers obviously don't.

GBP also made $2,000,000 of Pac's last purse.

Pac's lawsuit is going to go no where.
