Defamation....Might Back fire on Manny Pacquiao

[hugh grant]

Just give him $5million floyd already, and then try to make 10 million back from him in the ring. A nice profit of 5 million.

TS is ****** as ****** gets.

Hope you donate some leftover food to floyd later on once he's become a hobo.

Defamation- A publication of a defamatory, false statement of fact.

To be convicted of Defamation one needs four elements of proof.

1)Publication: statement to a third party (a person other than the subject of the statement). Example: Saying something in front of a class room of people.

2)Defamatory: Injury to the reputation of the subject.
3) false statement of fact: Not an opinion or prediction. (Floyd Sr gave an opinion on how a fighter cant come from a lower weight to dominate bigger fighters, after struggling with smaller fighters. That is an opinion not a statement of facts)

4)THrough the fault of the defendant: Of plantiff is a public figure must be intentional falsehood or actual malice, reckless.

intentional- know the statment is false (Mayweathers didnt know statement was false and still dont because Manny has never subjected himself to random testing.)Reckless- No basis to believe the statement is true.

Defenses:1)Conditional Priviledge: Statements made as a matter of the defendants business interest are not actionable....Boxing is a business and floyd was negotiating a fight, where he asked "If both parties would subject themselves to random testing" to carry on further business of the fight.

2) Truth: Statements by defendant must be false to be actionable. (Manny never submitted to testing to prove that he was clean.)3) Retraction: A defense to lessen damages only. (THere was never a retraction from floyd camp to show that they were lying on manny. THere wasnt a retraction because they never said anything factual just opinions.)

Welcome to Boxingscene. I definitely proud to see work like this.

Welcome to Boxingscene. I definitely proud to see work like this.

yes. i hope the whining and complaining about this lawsuit would cease to exist now. whether it backfires or not why would you not want this to go on if you're a floyd fanboy. this court battle is all about peds, peds, peds, which floyd fanboys can't get enough of. this lawsuit should be welcomed with open arms by floyd supporters, don't you think?
