Wasn't this suit filed last year, long before anyone knew Floyd and Pacquiao would even settle an agreement to fight? I find it hard to believe that Floyd would be able to carefully articulate a plan that would take so many outside elements to perfectly align in order to properly execute it... A year and a couple months later. I mean, the guy can't even read Harry Potter for fcks sake
i dont see how this affects pacquiao. this is roach's problem. Pac doesnt need to show up to some deposition.
A deposition is not a court hearing. He would simply be answering some questions in a room with a couple of lawyers. He has the option of rescheduling it!
To be fair, he has caused people to discredit the WORK of Alex Ariza.
You can't just say "I dunno he was giving him drinks anything could have been in them".
Now you are gonna have fighters scared to work with Ariza, because of the possibility that Ariza could be unknowingly doping them up
So while he did not come out and say, Ariza was putting steroids in Pac's drinks, we can say that he hinted at it.
In the end, has peoples outlooks changed as they look at Ariza? YES
However true, Ariza has to prove the damages, by showing he was unable to get work after such statements. The fact is he got work with the highest paid athlete in the world after those statements will kinda weaken his case.
On side note, i think he was already employed by Mayweather when Roach made those statements, so it is quite possible he may have a case.
I honestly don't buy this story. I haven't seen it reported anywhere else and it's pretty big if true... You sure that website isn't considered the National Inquire of boxing? lol
