[Gutz]

I remember the days when Boxers sued promoters...not each other. /facepalm

I remember the days when fighters fight each other without any ost demands... TRUE WARRIORS of the ring.

*****s keep saying that defamation case is gonna get thrown out because team pac cant PROVE that the mayweathers slandered pac.

Newsflash *****s. Its a civil suit. Nothing needs to be proven. The judge and/or jury only meed to be convinced whos side of the story is more likely, the plaintiff or defendants. And the way the mayweathers have all u morons convinced without a shadow of a doubt that pac is juicing team pacquiao has more than enough evidence to get a ruling.

No, the Pacquiao people will have to show loss of earnings or potential earnings to justify their suit. They will be suing for a stated amount and also for unspecified damages to be decided by the court. The latter are the real danger to the Mayweathers. If they decide, for example that the amount Manny P. got for an endorsement would have been, say $50 mill more without the defamation, well, the court will award this amount extra. And this could add up, depending on how many endorsements he can show loss in. They can bring his political reputation and chance of re-election into it as wll. This is really, as I see it, a quagmire for the Mayweathers. and I would not be surprised, if it was the reality of this which drove Oscar into rehabilitation, not an addiction.

Exactly, which is why the case will probably end up getting dismissed. It's 'he say/she say.'

If the judge has any common sense, he'll ask why Pacquiao didn't want to go through random testing for $50 million.

Also, Pacquiao insinuated that Mayweather was taking steroids as well in the same article that was published quoting Sr.'s initial assumptions. Once again, though, Mayweather didn't take it to the courtroom.

Politicians are in a different category being completlely public figures, and legally practically anything goes concerning them. Many years ago I believe that politicians could sue to protect their reputations, -where I come from they could- but I believe the law was changed.

Unfortunately, the Mayweathers had their brains focused or shall we say loaded with "steroid/drugs issues" that they can't even show any evidences, that can withstand Court scrutiny.

Pac is a CHEATER & will refuse to prove anything cause the nevada judge will give him breaks, and is friends with Bob Arum ( a former US Attorney), and will "pull strings" for Arum and Pac.

regardless, Pac is still a Fake Legend that uses EPO Steroids, HGH, A-Side Meth (Agimat) and other PED's.

Pac is also a Big COWARD that has ducked many tough challenges and avoided Humberto Soto, Juan Diaz, valero, Guzman and so many others.

Pac is also a coward for demanding catchweights to weight-drain his opponents, so that they're weak before they step in the ring.

Pac is also a coward for handpicking Old Faded has-beens.
Pac's last 10 opponents were mostly in their mid to late 30's.
Pac does not fight fighters in their 20's cause Pac is a chicken.

Pac is also a FAKE "champion" cause Pac has had 4 FIXED FIGHTS at 147lbs.
1.) Pac-DelaHoya was FIXED
2.) Pac-Clottey was FIXED
3.) Pac-Margarito was FIXED
4.) Pac-Mosley was FIXED

all FIXED FIGHTS by Pac's co-promoters (Arum, and DelaHoya) because Pac cant compete with the 147lbers, and because Pac generates over $100 Million worldwide, mostly from the vast Asian market (that dont know jack-*****t about boxing), Pac gets a free-pass with all his cheatings, duckings, and now FIXED FIGHTS.

Pac is the biggest Fraud, the biggest Hype-Job in the History of Boxing.

Pac is the Most Overrated/OverHyped Boxer in the History of Boxing.

Any Judge who is "a friend of Arum" will have to recuse himself, because of legal impropriety.

[jrosales13]

Because it's intriguing as to why somebody, who laughed at the thought of another person thinking that they're cheating, would have a mood swing so sudden and decide to sue them.

Really you find that intriguing?

Really?

Wow....

Like I said, I would never understand why anybody would care so much if the man he has a case or not.

If he doesn't it's really whatever. And, if he does it's really whatever.

Either way it means nothing.

also noted that even at the face of a magistrate court upholding the merit of pac's case vs pbf/gbp camps as evidenced by the court's demand for pbf to submit his deposition....

and at the face of pbf no show or failure to submit a deposition.....

and at the face of gbp's publicly apology to pac....

can not help but wonder how people could still hold on to pbf's camp baseless accusations...

my ten pesos, if i may....

as my non-lawyer mind tells me there are two parts in this case..

one is the determination of the existence of defamation/slander; where there is no need to ascertain money value yet....pac only shows the occasions when pbf camp made the baseless accusations....and pbf camp has to prove such accusations via deposition(s)....then the judge makes a ruling based on these presentations..

the amount of damages to be paid is then determined.
