Serious Question: Why did Pac ask Floyd to pay a 10 Million per pound weight penalty?

[BTL]

He needs to just take the test.. If it was someone else demanding the test like cotto or Oscar.. Everyone including the media would be questioning manny.. I'm surprised that the media doesn't back Floyd on this.. But then I'm not surprised.. You know what I'm saying.

well, it just means one of two things:

1. Pac and Top Rank has the whole U.S. media on their payroll and neither the mayweathers nor Golden Boy can do anything about it.
2. the entire U.S. media sees something that you don't see about Floyd's unusual blood testing demand.

I'm sure if you were in mannys shoes you would take the test.

I'm sure if you were in mannys shoes you would take the test.

of course i would! i would do it in a heartbeat! in fact, i'm STILL hoping that Pac would somehow change his mind and go "to heck with it!" and take the test.

unfortunately, i'm not pac.

Because Floyd accused manny of cheating first, then demanded tests, had it been the other way around, I bet we'd be closer to seeing this fight.

Slander isn't going to get you what you want, unless, making negotiations fall through was the goal with libel.

Any man who has pride in his work and integrity wouldn't give in to demands based off of no facts, it's a poor mans extortion, school yard mind games . I myself would never give another that kind of power and leverage over me unless it was beaten into me or my family was in danger.

I agree with you.

I would never give anyone power/leverage over me, if what is at stake is my pride and integrity of the work that I have sacrificed over the years. I will sue him and let's see what happens.

No wonder the judge in the case filed by Pacquiao saw the merit of his case.

Unfortunately, some people could not reach this kind of understanding.

a better question would be, how would it be a problem for floyd if he NEVER weighed over the limit of 147 lbs?

floyd accepted the 10 mil demand didnt he?

[AFighter4U]

floyd accepted the 10 mil demand didnt he?

yes, he did, and he didn't raise an issue about it at all.

but somehow, some people can't seem to stop talking about it.

Manny agreed to the terms from the original negotiations...Floyd changed his mind ....

what else do you want ?

Too bad you are forgetting the fact that they originally agreed to OST.

Also, why would u need to sue over something u claim to think is funny?

Honestly, do u know how difficult it for Pac to win this case? It wont be easy. Libel/Slander is very hard to prove. Also, how do u prove that your reputation has been harmed, when u have more endorsements than b4, more positive news coverage and you've even met the President since then. Even if he won, financial compensation for damages would be tied to how much he potentially lost because of those comments. Pac can't show the he has lost one dime because of what FMJ, GB or FMSr have said. Punative damages? Well, we will have to see about that one. First he's got to win.


Info on proving Slander:

Libel and Slander Claims
Libel and slander are both personal injury claims that are made when false statements, represented as fact, are made about a person via word of mouth, printed materials or broadcasts. Slander is the more difficult of the two to prove, as it refers to false statements that are spoken, or gestures, that are not recorded, written or documented in a permanent way. Libel refers to false statements, pictures, recordings or broadcasts made about a person. Both of these personal injury claims are often referred to as defamation.


Defamation

Defamation refers to the damages caused by libel or slander. In order for there to be defamation, a person's character or reputation must have suffered harm as a result of the false statements that were made about them. The false statements must have been communicated to another person or group of people and specifically about the person who files the claim. Statements that are simply rude or generally insulting are not considered defamation. The false statements must have been made through the fault of the defendant. With private citizens, there generally only needs to be proof that the defendant was negligent in making the damaging false statements. However, with celebrities or public officials, there is usually a greater burden of proof and the person filing the defamation lawsuit must prove that the defendant knew that the information was false and that they acted with malice in making the false statements.
Legal Defense for Defamation

The perfect legal defense to slander or libel claims is that the statements made are true.

Another strong defense to defamation claims is one there can be no damage to a person's good reputation and character if they have no character to damage and an already poor reputation.


Pacs history of adultery doesn't help his case when it comes to character.

Burden of Proof

As with all civil lawsuits, in libel and slander cases the burden of proof lies with the plaintiff. If the proof of defamation is made, a plaintiff may collect financial compensation for damages and in some cases may also be awarded punitive damages. Appeals may be made on the basis of First ********* rights.

Celebrity Victims of Defamation

Celebrities often become victims of libel when the media publishes outlandish false statements about them, generally in an effort to sell more magazines or financially benefit in some other way. Although some multi-million dollar awards have been made to celebrities who have been victims of libel by the media, many of these awards have been reversed on appeal or the cases have settled out of court, according to a report by the Media Law Resource Center.

“I gave him (Pacquiao) a chance, up to 14 days out. But my new terms are all the way up to the fight. They can come get us whenever, all the way up to the fight, random drug test. That’s what it is,” Mayweather was quoted as saying.

and then...
