Thread: Pacquiao request Top Rank to help with Lawsuit

"I have instructed my promoter, Bob Arum, head of Top Rank Inc., to help me out in the filing of the case as soon as possible because I have had people coming over to me now asking if I really take performance-enhancing drugs and I have cheated my way into becoming the No. 1 boxer in the world,"

If the fight doesn't happen, it's pretty damning for the Mayweather camp especially Mayweather Sr. At minimum he'd be looking at defamation and maybe even a libel suit for what $20 Million? Now that's no joke!

Even if the fight does happen, Pacquiao might still have a rock solid case.

Interesting definition: "is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. It is usually, but not always,[1] a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant)."

does that include when Roach said "Pacquiao will take any drug test, any time, anywhere"?

Well camp Mayweather took him up on that and now Team Pac is planning to sue them of it. The suspicion increases, even if the lawsuit goes through it will not silence the publics suspicion, it just puts more money in Manny's pocket.

Anybody who thinks that Pacquiao realistically has any shot at a defamation suit is a freaking moron. If someone asks you a question, you can say "yeah, I think he's on steroids." People might hate you and what not but there's no legal ramifications for saying that. This is fucking America!!! Get it straight. Do you know how many bloggers every once in a while accuse Albert Pujols of juicing? There's a big difference between saying "yeah i've seen him use steroids with my own eyes before, I know he used steroids." and "Yeah, I think he's on steroids. Something is fishy there." You know who also tried defamation suits? Roger Clemens and Shane Mosley. Hahaha. Why can't Manny just take the tests? I swear to God, I NEVER even suspected Manny of PED use until Mayweather Sr. and Malignaggi started talking. Then I was like "hmmm. Ehhh, probably not." Then Manny refused the USADA testing and now is filing a defamation suit? We've seen this same act before from confirmed PED users.

You are an absolute ignorant idiot!

Although a difficult to win Pacquiao could have gone after Mayweather Sr. the first time he opened his "mouth on camera". Now it's on a whole new level where an actual contract signing (lack of) can be used to measure the cost. It's obvious you know absolutely nothing about Law. Why do you think so many celebs sue?

Celebrities sue because they are money hungry divas.

Seriously, these two guys may be the two pound for pound best fighters on the planet, but they are also P4P the two biggest whining pussies.


This is starting to resemble an episode of The Young and the Restless.


Get the fucking fight done already you two gaylords.

LMAO! The main reason celebrities sue is because it is a PR stunt you dumbass. What you don't see is that months later after those said celebrities raise their defamation suits, those suits are dismissed. You can sue anybody for anything as long as you have money and a lawyer, that doesn't mean that your suit is valid. And the celebrities that DO win some of their defamation suit, win strictly because the publications or the people they sue used faulty resources and published "evidence" as FACT and confirmation of the accusations, whatever they may be. If you think any judge in their right fucking mind is gonna give Manny a judgment because Mayweather said "yeah, i think he's on steroids, ain't no way a little guy come up like that unless he's doing something" then you would be looking a complete destruction of the American legal system. Hahahahaha, try again man.

It's useless to point anything out because you have no clue! READ the fukn defination Ahole!

Even Roach must be wondering now and may start distancing himself

I mean.....To go for a lawsuit rather than do the tests is a bit over the top dont you think

No way Manny wins a lawsuit, Floyd hasnt even specifically said hes juicing anyway, hes just requested that Manny do the same tests as himself and Manny has refused

Floyd senior and Maligniga have publicly questioined Mannys performances which is why I laughed at Paulie being mentioned as a possible alternate opponent, Paulie should ask for the same tests

Not Floyd but Floyd Sr said. Somehow, he could have some chances to win something as Sr said he was on steroid and not "he thinks that", semantics is very important here. Indeed, it is grotesque and stupid, he should just take the 35 millions paycheck, take the little injection, prove the world he's not on steroids, doubts are erased, he's rich and everybody is happy

Hehe, but he refused Margarito and said in an interview that he doesn't believe Margarito when he says he didn't know for his gloves, I don't recall where but I saw that on youtube.

yea i know bro lol i'm just trying to piss off the Pac nutthuggers a bit lol, i think it was on Cotto/Pacquiao 24/7 wasn't it?

Well this makes complete sense doesn't it

Spending thousands on a lawsuit that could become quite messy and won't actually prove he's not on PEDs, when an easy way to erase this doubt is just to give a few minutes of his time to take a blood test on his way to earning $40 million. Its starting to look more suspicious to me

yup, it's like when a dude cheats on his wife but out of paranoia starts to accuse her of wrongdoing lol
