Pacquiao served to testify for defamation

[Cuban Linx]

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

Yes, Ariza could have a case for fighters not wanting to work with him. Although I'm not sure how true that is when he is working with Mayweather.

But Roach's side will argue that Roach didn't accuse him of supplying steroids/PEDs to Pacquiao. They'll say because Ariza wouldn't disclose what was in the drinks, it could have been something that Pacquiao was allergic to and therefore might have hurt him in training and that was why they found him to be shady etc.

In the end Roach's side will win because Ariza's side doesn't have enough proof.

This looks like a way for Floyd to pull out of the fight. Those rumors of his getting whooped in sparring must be true and hes willing to do anything to postpone the fight including paying Ariza $$$ to file this frivolous lawsuit.

And I remember when Ariza kicked Roach in the chest and people asked him if he was gonna press charges and he said no because he didn't want it to postpone the fight. The same thing is gonna happen here.

proof was he was fired from maidana around the time of the lawsuit

The problem is, it was Freddie Roach's dumbass who recently made those comments about Ariza. How ****ing ****** can he be to say those things, a few weeks before the fight, and given the animosity between the two since the Rios fight? He's pretty much accusing his own fighter of doping by saying Ariza's shakes had mystery ingredients in them. Honestly, don't feel bad about this one bit. Big ****ing mistake on Roach's part.

If you read what you just posted you'll realize that Roach didn't accuse anyone of doping.

"Mystery ingredients" could literally be anything.

Roach was clever when he made these comments by being as vague as possible. Unlike the idiot that is Mayweather Sr. he didn't open his mouth and say "Ariza was giving Pacquiao drinks that contained steroids/PED's" . All he said was he didn't know what was in the drinks because Ariza never told him and he thought he was shady.

They can argue that ANYTHING could have been in those drinks other than PED's/Steroids. Maybe it's something that could have cause Pacquiao an allergic reaction?

This suit filed by Ariza won't go anywhere. He's trying to get some kind of edge on Pacquiao and Roach to cause a distraction.

Man you wish. Don't worry Manny ass will be whipped on schedule. There's no way you will get out of the verbal beating scheduled for May 3rd here on NSB.

Ok,so basically there's nothing official,and we are getting this info from a "source" who hasn't been identified. And all this is about a lawsuit which was filed January 2014,and its now being around up right before the fight? This seems a little to coincidental. Until its official,I'm not buying it,and I'm chalking this up to more pre fight trash talk and speculation.

[LADIV]

Floyd pays Ariza a million dollars to file the suit two weeks out from the fight. LOL, that is a hard thing to conceive? Plain as day, just like Floyd choosing another fighter's gloves hours before the fight......anything to gain an advantage.

You have too many theories and too much time on your hands you should get out more often

Yes, I understand. But, the damage has been done. This is psych-warfare, mind games. You don't think this stuff messes with Pacquiao's head, steroid allegations all over again, having to address this issue once more. Public & Media attention on the steroid allegations again. Two weeks before the fight?

[General STRUGG]

yawwwn typical ****** threads from convicted wife beater and convicted crack dealer them mayweathers.

[richardt]

Does anyone really believe Pac's lawyers are not EASILY going to get this postponed this till after the fight instead of two days before a huge fight? Hell, even Floyd got away with not showing up for his own court hearing a number of times. No way Pac shows up before the huge fight.
