    And I know that, go read the original thread . I said that because apparently Floyd himself has done it and for someone who has a great defense it's more understandable

      Bob and Oscar prob gave the Rahmans a couple bucks to try to get Floyds promotional license revoked.

          Everyone keeps talking about the brothers but if Floyd LIED to the commission, he will face serious charges, more than just what the brother's will bring on him. That's the bigger picture here.

            You obviously know nothing about lawyers. Lawyers are infamous for taking weak cases all the time. Because win or lose they are going to get paid.

              Yea you said it Lawyers get paid usually 30% of the settlement and lawyers know Floyd is the golden goose. I doubt the Rahman brothers are going to pay this lawyer $400 an hour to fight a case I'm sure it's on contingency so they'll take it if they want to get paid so it seems to me your about 12 and don't know how lawyers work

                Really though, what was the point of that hearing where Floyd testified and allegedly lied/purgered?

                It obviously was a sham process by NSAC, because if they were serious they would have required Floyd to submit footage from Showtime proving that everything was staged. To my knowledge, they just took his word and kept it moving...

                  Lawyers take risks, too, homey. They take cases pro bono sometimes. Oftentimes, they take cases at their own expense with a contract that if they win they'll get a percentage of the loot. The Rahman bros in this case have nothing lose, but everything to gain. Meanwhile, the taxi meter has started with Money Mayweather. The longer it drags on the more expensive it costs. TBE's lawyers are celebrating.

                    But who knows if the lawyers of the Rahman bros are doing pro-bono? It's possible, but it also may not be the case. Lawyers don't OFTEN take cases at their own expense, it is rare. In this case, it's possible because it's high profile. And if they are doing pro-bono, I wouldn't be surprised if the Rahman Bros got very little in the end. Lawyers...

                    Also, the Rahman Bros. were responsible for paying the filing fee. Rahman Jr. paid $270.00, and Shahir paid like $30.00.

                      Your argument was that lawyers don't take weak cases. I responded by telling you that is complete nonsense. That lawyers take weak cases all the time, because win or lose they can and will make money. You said nothing to refute that. Bye bye.
