    Manny refuses to PED test-djtmal want to put that in perspective by blaming Floyd for asking they both take tests.

    Pacquiao files suit against Mayweathers
    Published December 31, 2009 10:03am
    LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao upped the ante Wednesday in his standoff with Floyd Mayweather Jr. by filing a lawsuit alleging that Mayweather and others defamed him by falsely accusing Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs.

    The suit filed in federal court in Las Vegas further complicates efforts to reach an agreement for a proposed March 13 fight between the two boxers. The fight has been stalled by demands by the Mayweather camp that both fighters submit to random blood and urine tests leading up to the bout.

    Pacquiao claimed in the suit that he has never tested positive for any performance-enhancing drugs, but that Mayweather, his father and uncle, Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions chief Richard Schaefer embarked on a campaign to make people think he used drugs.

    “The truth did not stop Mayweather and the others," the suit contends. “That is because they are motivated by ill will, spite, malice, revenge and envy."

    Pacquiao’s attorney, Dan Petrocelli, said his client could be out millions of dollars if boxing fans believe he used steroids or human growth hormone to win titles in seven weight classes.

    “The damage to his reputation and lost business opportunities could be in the tens of millions of dollars," Petrocelli said.

    The suit cites various interviews done by the defendants in which they intimated that Pacquiao’s strength and power did not all come naturally. Among the interviews cited was an October radio interview in which Mayweather Jr. allegedly said Pacquiao’s physique was different “cause we know the Philippines got the best enhancing drugs."

    Schaefer said the suit came as no surprise since Pacquiao had threatened it earlier in the week. He said his attorneys would respond to it, even as talks continue for the fight.

    “I’m hearing these talks are being productive," Schaefer said. “Hopefully we will know something in the next couple of days."

    Mayweather and Pacquiao had been expected to meet in what promises to be the richest fight ever after they reached agreement over everything from the size of their purses to the make of their gloves for the welterweight megafight. But a demand by Mayweather’s camp for both fighters to be subjected to Olympic-style blood testing has stood in the way of a final agreement for the bout.

    Talks over the last few days have centered on finding agreement on a date to stop blood testing before the fight, since Pacquiao believes that giving blood may weaken him, at least psychologically.

    The lawsuit may not stand in the way of an agreement, but it adds to the increasing rancor between the two camps. In the suit, Pacquiao claims that comments by Mayweather, his father, Floyd Sr., and trainer, Roger Mayweather, were part of a defamation campaign against him.

    “Mayweather Jr. and the others set out on a course designed to destroy Pacquiao’s career, reputation, honor and legacy and jeopardize his ability to earn the highest levels of compensation," the suit contends. – AP

        Their rivalry has been brewing for years: Ever since Pacquiao became a bonafide star, boxing fans have been clamoring for him to take on Mayweather. However, Mayweather has spent several years refusing to fight his rival. He has previously accused Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs and insisted the Filipino fighter be tested before they could ever step into the ring. His allegations eventually led to a 2009 defamation suit from Pacquiao’s camp and some ugly racist invective out of Mayweather’s.

        In a 2010 video released amid stalled talks for a fight, Mayweather called Pacquiao a “little yellow chump,” and called on the boxer to “cook me some rice.” In an interview this year with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, Mayweather claimed that he endures a level of racism comparable to what Muhammad Ali faced in his heyday.
        Honestly that is disgusting and hard to forgive. Racist. Add that to being a xenophobe, sexist, woman beater, ****phobic and someone who supports and defends Trump's actions (political and non political) and it's hard to imagine there's people that will defend and encourage his every move. Impressive levels of fandom but a little much for my taste.

        Being arrogant, disrespectful, a liar and a hypocrite are actually four of his good qualities when looking at that.

          Here you are in a series of threads created by you claiming that Mayweather was ducking Mosley:

          YET YOU NEVER GAVE MAYWEATHER CREDIT BECAUSE AT THE TIME THAT THESE THREADS WERE MADE, FLOYD MAYWEATHER'S VERY NEXT FIGHT WAS: MOSLEY!!!


          Yet, you changed up your view about Mosley real quick after Mayweather beat him.

          ain't stop floyd from cherrypicking 'em..
          .

          SO WHICH IS IT? WAS HE DVCKING MOSLEY, "THE FIGHT EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE"....OR WAS HE CHERRY PICKING A SHAKEY MOSLEY? No name calling. I’m just really wondering if you can enlighten us on what happened here. Because in your quotation today you say that he should have put more effort into making the fights that people most fault him on, you faulted him on Mosley, he made that fight his very next fight, and then you still dismissed the win in the end!

            Why is telling the truth about what happened labeled as defending Mayweather?

            Floyd might be a deplorable human being and have done everything you posted, but that doesn't make it a lie that ODH, Shane and Manny refused to fight him when he was high risk, low reward.

            Why is it some of you can't separate how you feel about Floyd from what actually happened?

              Djtmal is never going to be honest or show any integrity. He will also never admit being upset that Manny lost. In his mind he is just a fair an unbiased boxing critic. I guess he thinks no one can read his posts.

              • Floyd is all time top 3, his resume is better than anyone in the last 30 years. Duran, Sugar Ray Robinson, Ali, and Leonard, those are the only other 4 you can compare to Mayweather. Anything else is just pure haterism.

                    Do you know what all top 10 greats have in common? They all have at least 1 A-level Prime fighter in their resume: Floyd has none.

                      He also refused to fight Manny for a long time too. I know an old Mosley had toothache or whatever but not sure if the prime Mosley or Oscar's were ever realistic opponents for him.

                      Did Floyd refuse to fight Crawford, Spence, Thurman, Khan, Casamayor, Johnston, Freitas, Margarito, prime Cotto, Williams due to the risk reward factor? I mean he got in worse and lesser opponents over the same time.

                      I'm not saying he did but I also am not sure about the validity of Floyd being frozen out and avoided.
