Could Pacquiao's Recent Choices Sink His Own Lawsuit Before It Gets Off The Ground?

I'm looking at possible counterpoints in this case. I like the chess aspect of it. I'm not interested in yours or Team Mayweather cheerleading. Go somewhere else with that.

Originally posted by Haglerwins View PostI was throwing this around in my head just now, and I think one card Team May and GBP will play to the court in their defense of this defamation suit is integrity.
"Is Manny Pacquiao an honest person?", they will most probably bring forward.
Though they more than likely don't have physical evidence that Pacman is on PEDS, they might argue that they have anecdotal evidence that might suggest it isn't something that's beyond him given his recent choices.
- Adultery.
- Keeping the company of shady politicians from his home country considering his own political aspirations to serve as a man of the people.
- Questionable statements coming from Team Pac regarding the blood testing stipulation in the contract with Floyd and why Manny won't test, etc.
I wonder if all Team May and GB have to do is create doubt as to whether Manny can be trusted that he isn't on PEDS, rather than to counter the suit with a matter of fact that he is.
I'm not familiar with the law, but it came across to me as a sensible argument. I'm not saying it's a winning argument though, I'm not familiar with the law as I stated.
I do think though from a layman perspective that Pac just might have a hard time here because if I read right, apparently he has to prove that Team May and GB know that their insinuations and accusations are false when it comes to the PED issue. When you mix in the holes in NSAC testing with the integrity argument above, I'm curious as to if the lawsuit will be successful now.
I initially thought it was a slam dunk after the libelous quotes from May Sr. Jr. and Roger, but proving their motivation is malicious and that they know their claims aren't true might end up being the mountain that Pac's legal team might have too much trouble with.
Adultery and keeping company with shady politicians don't mean **** in this case. And how do you define "shady" in the courtroom by the way?

So to defend themselves from a defamation lawsuit they'll bring up rumor and gossip that Pac is cheating on his wife? That makes perfect sense. You should become a lawyer

His freaking strength coach is on trial right now for dealing steroids to athletes. If he doesnt want to get dragged into that mess he better withdraw the suit.
