Tratos: the lawsuit filed by Mayweather against Top Rank is now proceeding

[Gino Ros]

From everything I have read regarding this on sites such as this, him never bothering to show up equates to a default judgement up to 1 million USD...I could be wrong, but from everything I have seen (including everything posted by *******s, *****s, etc) it basically says if Floyd never shows up he is subject to a penalty of no more than 1 million in damages.

I understood it differently.

It would be up to the judge to decide the penalty, after demonstrated evidence of harm from Pac.

Now, that's where I think Pac will have a hard time.

His ppv's didn't suffer. He picked up endorsements. His fanbase didn't lessen. He remained a high-earning athlete.

So, what was the ECONOMIC harm in what Floyd said?

I have been wondering what happened to Floyd's lawsuit against Top Rank, it has been so long but never heard about it getting resolved, I guess this is why.

I still never got how Floyd and Top Rank could do anything together with that hanging over them and that was even before this extra litigation came up.

what lawsuit?

Side note:

Why are Pac****** so hyper-emotional and dramatic?

Watch out U.S.A. It seems that this man (Floyd Mayweather) is acting like HE IS ABOVE your law.




SERIOUSLY, PINOYS..... DON'T YOU EVER GET EMBARRASSED?

It's kinda scary to know there are people in the world who love and support so blindly, who actually feel these things, think about them, type them, think it sounds good, and posts it. I couldn't even think to say **** like this when I'm completely ripped.

They would have to prove further damages, but post-lawsuit when a guy is making more in endorsements and more in purses than practically every fighter in history...how can you prove further damages?

what lawsuit?

Floyd claims that Arum ganked him out of dough from the "Thunder and Lightning" PPV's.

Ya know... the same thing Arum is doing to Manny as we speak.

Floyd Mayweather sues for purses

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has sued his former promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, claiming Arum still owes him money from his matches against Arturo Gatti in 2005 and Zab Judah in 2006.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Clark County (Nev.) District Court on March 7, seeks an accounting from those two fights and also claims that Arum breached his contract and did not operate in good faith.

Mayweather said his contract for the Gatti fight called for him to receive 85% of Top Rank's net revenues and his contract for the Judah fight called for him to receive 80% of the net revenues. He claims that Top Rank did not provide him the complete and final accounting for either fight despite repeated demands. { sound familiar?}

Mayweather does not specify an amount that he believes he is owed, but stipulates the statutory minimum of $10,000 for each of the five claims in the lawsuit. It is clear that he believes Arum shortchanged him much more than that for those two fights, which both did around 350,000 Pay-Per-View buys. Mayweather and his reps would not comment on the lawsuit.

"Under the advice of Floyd's counsel I can't comment on the complaint," said Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser. "The complaint speaks for itself."
