Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Mayweather/Golden Boy Legal Battle Update

[[ DUBBZZ ]]

Why could't Floyd just fight Pac instead of making up theses accusations? Now it backfired on him and he looks like a coward. Terrible.

Its the same with most trials , they always try and dismiss it first cab of the rank ,, means nothing its just a lets not waste time and money proving or disproving comments that boil down at the end of the day to being only professional opinions ,,,, what case are they proving , that in their opinion Pac is on something , they asked him to prove otherwise for 50 mill and Pac didnt wanna do it , the Mayweathers are not the only ones that think Pac is very su****ious , I dont think they can win a prosecution off a professional for giving his personal opinion when a reporter asks him for it .

Again this shows how much much Pac really wants the fight he could have proved he is not a drugs cheat the honorable way , he would rather sue them than take a test and fight them in the ring ,,, what a plastic wuss Pac has turned into .

What is the basis for your legal opinion? If you can't "win a prosecution off a professional for giving his personal opinion when a reporter asks him for it", as a matter of law, it should have been thrown out on a motion to dismiss. That's how the legal system works. The judge clearly believes that you can win a civil case under these circumstances, so he allowed it to continue. And, in civil cases, you don't generally call it a "prosecution" or the plaintiff a "prosecutor." It is just "plaintiff."

Seriously, if you don't know anything about the legal system and how it functions, don't pontificate like you do.

Pacquiao actually has a decent case. Not great, but decent. And, Petrocelli, his attorney, is damned good. I've had cases against his firm O'Melveny & Myers many times before. Mayweather and Co., should be concerned. Floyd's dad has clearly made statements that Pacquiao was on roids. Floyd Jr. has strongly implied it (like in his Rugged Man interview talking about how the "Philippines have the best steroids"--what a joke, by the way).

You clearly don't know anything about the legal system--"more money for the court"--what does that mean? Courts don't get paid by the hour or by a percentage of a claim. After the case is filed, the only fees the court collects are ministerial (like for filing a motion). They are very small.

Defamation cases are hard to win, especially if you are celebrity. However, Floyd and company were complete idiots about what they said and their motiviations were clearly malicious, so Pacquiao has a chance.

Man get the **** outta here with that bull****, don't you know who you're talking to? All *****s graduated from Google University with advanced degrees in biochemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and law. The can switch from PED experts to legal aces at the drop of a dime, very versatile people.

Maybe the defense will show up with evidence lol.

[Mr. Invincible]

Thanks a lot Manny.

This clearly shows who's ducking the fight.

Why would he continue the lawsuit with the hopes that he would be facing Mayweather in the future?

I'm pissed at Pac over this garbage.

So, the Mayweathers spread all these unsupported slanderous allegations without a shred of evidence and you expect Manny to act in an honorable way?

Its circumstantial evidence unless they catch him in the act or by a test , they tried the test and he ran away and is still running ,, point is they are professional lifetime boxing trainers and former world champions , they have formed a professional opinion , how can they be prosecuted for giving a professional opinion , its only malicious if they dont believe it , if they believe that Pac is on something how the *** can you be sued and lose , a lie detector test might show some interesting results if the Mayweathers are asked do you believe Manny is using PEDS , and then ask Manny are you using PEDS , Manny pleads the 5th lol ,,,, case closed right there , actually Manny really can look bad in this if he has to prove in any way he is not using ,, going to be interesting what actually happens from a legal stand point ,,,, but Manny is such a wuss for taking this route rather than be tested and fight him .

I figured they would fit in under the scientists/nutritionists bunch.
