"Obviously we will wait until the investigation of the Nevada Commission concludes, and once the results come out - we will then determine if we intend to proceed in any way against these statements [that Golovkin made]."

And the chances of you going anywhere near a court of law where Canelo and his entire management team would have to go under oath to rebut those claims?

In a legal sense, "actual malice" has nothing to do with ill will or disliking someone and wishing him harm. Rather, courts have defined "actual malice" in the defamation context as publishing a statement while either

knowing that it is false; or

acting with reckless disregard for the statement's truth or falsity.
It should be noted that the actual malice standard focuses on the defendant's actual state of mind at the time of publication. Unlike the negligence standard discussed later in this section, the actual malice standard is not measured by what a reasonable person would have published or investigated prior to publication. Instead, the plaintiff must produce clear and convincing evidence that the defendant actually knew the information was false or entertained serious doubts as to the truth of his publication. In making this determination, a court will look for evidence of the defendant's state of mind at the time of publication and will likely examine the steps he took in researching, editing, and fact checking his work. It is generally not sufficient, however, for a plaintiff to merely show that the defendant didn't like her, failed to contact her for comment, knew she had denied the information, relied on a single biased source, or failed to correct the statement after publication.

Not surprisingly, this is a very difficult standard for a plaintiff to establish. Indeed, in only a handful of cases over the last decades have plaintiffs been successful in establishing the requisite actual malice to prove defamation.

The actual malice standard applies when a defamatory statement concerns three general categories of individuals: public officials, all-purpose public figures, and limited-purpose public figures. Private figures, which are discussed later in this section, do not need to prove actual malice.

There are two types of "public figures" recognized under defamation law: "all-purpose" public figures and "limited-purpose" public figures.

All-purpose public figures are private individuals who occupy "positions of such persuasive power and influence that they are deemed public figure for all purposes. . . . They invite attention and comment." Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323, 345 (1972). For these individuals, the actual malice standard extends to virtually all aspects of their lives.

This category includes movie stars, elite professional athletes, and the heads of major corporations. Tom Cruise is one; that character actor you recognize instantly but can't quite name is probably not an all-purpose public figure.

Good luck with your lawsuit, given you have to prove that you were indeed clean.

they will try to fine GGG or reduce his purse.. wait and see. Goldenboy scum

[Illmatic94]

no actually what sounds like fear is Clenelo having to juice to get a draw with a faded GGG. now that's fear.

and why cant Clenelo make statements himself? why is Hoemez speaking for him? they're keeping that boy away from media so he don't incriminate himself.

GGG is rubbing his face in the dirt as he should. if they do file a lawsuit that'll just further expose Clenelo.

this whole issue was dying down and that's what GB and NSAC wants. so GGG threw gas on the fire.

The bottom line is Chemnelo got caught!

Is Golden Boy gonna conciliate the failed tests?

If not it is Canelos reputation which is ruined!

[PsychoPat]

[g27region]

They act like there's no reason for Golovkin to talk like that after they f-u-cked up that whole situation
