Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
Lawyers for Mayweather have filed an emergency request asking a U.S. District Court judge in Nevada to postpone the deposition he is expected to give on Friday for the lawsuit of Manny Pacquiao. The reaon for the delay is that his attorney is not available for Friday's hearing and that Mayweather needs to focus on his fight against Ortiz.

I believe, Mayweather owes us boxing fan an explanation for his allegation of Pacquiao's steriod use and show proof that Pacquiao is using steriods. I hope the judge will not delay this deposition.

Re: Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
Floyd didn't accuse pacquiao of anything. All he did was say 'anyone who fights me has to go through random blood testing.' Pacroids guilty concience obviously interpreted it in a different way.....

Clearly the judge in the case sees it differently.
U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks said Pacquiao has sufficient evidence to continue his lawsuit that alleges Mayweather and others acted with malice by accusing the Filipino boxer in a series of interviews of using performance-enhancing drugs.
"Moving defendants argue that Pacquiao has failed to sufficiently allege malice because moving defendants could not have known one way or the other whether Pacquiao had actually taken PEDs when they made the alleged defamatory statements," the order reads. "However, the court finds that Pacquiao has sufficiently pled malice in the amended complaint."

Re: Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
I think Pacquiao needs to man up regarding this whole issue. What a complete and utter fag for getting so upset by it. He is the one that originally refused random drug testing and then he wants to cry foul because people think he is suspicious.
I am not a homosexual and yet I am the forum gay, does that mean I can now go around suing everybody on here? Heck , he should take it as a badge of honour that people think he is that good.
I am proud of being the forum gay and Pac should be proud that he is so good people think he is on drugs....unless he is really on them after all. I mean if I was really gay, then I don't think I would be amused by it all. But I'm not...really. No really I tell you. bruce lee knows I am all man.

Re: Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
I agree with Miles, Pac has taken it too far. I don't know why he didn't just take the test and the fight would have been over and done with by now and Mayweather would still be unbeaten.

Re: Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
Manny is a politician now. I bet this is all new and exciting for him. Wanker.

Testing is not the only issue for Floyd. There's also glove size and pur$e, which he would still bitch about after they agreed on the drug testing part.
Floyd is doing his best to avoid Pac. Just like what he did to Cotto and Margarito.

If someone accuses somebody of something it's up to the accuser to prove it and not up to the accused.
If Mayweathers accusations go unchecked, then it will go on and on. It just happens that they did it to someone who has the financial resources to go on with a lawsuit. I hope this teaches all of those people involve a lesson.
Anyway, Manny already agreed to the drug test but wasn't given the opportunity to prove he's clean because the accuser did not want to fight.

So they say.
When the negotiations were very public he point blank refused and that to this day leaves me doubting Pac has not cheated. I hope not as he is a great fighter and should the Floyd fight get chance to happen again after both mens next fights (although I think Pac could well lose to a man who has already shown he has his number a bit) I hope he takes the test and proves he is clean.

Manny refused what Floyd WANTED, not the drug test itself. But that's already under the rug. Let's see what happens in a 3rd negotiation, if there will be one?

Didn't Floyd agreed to the whole 50/50 and every other demands Pac made? Floyd made just one single demand and look what happened.

I dont think Pac needs to man up, Floyd is the one who needs to man up and prove their camps allegations that pac is on PEDs. Oscar and his camp were man enough to admit their mistakes and Pac did remove them from this suit. Now you are saying pac needs to man up? I dont get the logic in there.

You are missing the whole point by a mile and a half away.
The suit filed by pacman focus on the way mayweather's camp publicly accuses pacman of PED use prior to any negotiation.. They created fairy tales about a-side meth thing that makes bullet bounce off your skin when you take them, and told every one pac is using them. Does that gave them the leverage of demanding blood tests? Yes.
He cries fould not because of what people think, but on what Mayweather did to vandalize his reputation. Accusations are baseless, its only based on Roger's theory of a-side meth, for God's sakes. Now you say Pac is gay for fighting for his reputation?

Well at least you being the forum gay doesnt really affect you at all, doesnt affect your income and the status you have on your local community. Your are trying to compare two situations that are very much different. So your analogy wont work well.

I agree with you on this.
But you dont just stop at being proud and all those stuffs. When the accusation is already affecting you as a productive individual, and it ruins your name and reputation on a certain level, then you need to do what pac just did. Return the favor to those accusers to clean your name and so that you can send a strong message to all folks there, that you can at least defend your self from very malicious "fairy tale".

So you think that Floyd gave in to the 50/50 when that should really be the appropriate split between the two. And you think he gave in to the glove size (8 oz) that Manny requested. Do you know that those were the same glove size that Mayweather used in his previous fight with Marquez?

Re: Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
People are overreacting to what was very much a satirical self mocking kind of post, but I do believe in 'sticks and stones' not hurting you. You don't cry because someone calls you a girl. Maybe you have a little tantrum, but you get on with things.
Pac taking legal action against Mayweather was a pussy move and I have lost a lot of respect for him because of it. And all you get is the same recycled Pac drones recycling the same old defences of a fighter and that in itself is the seriously gay thing. They won't accept a bad word against the guy and that is the only fighter in the world they ever talk about. It is boring and repetitive and I am just not standing for it.
Each and every one of you bastards is going into next years forum gay contest and you guys alone. Because I rig the polls and unfortunately I now see nothing gayer than you people.
Hand on heart homo types!

Re: Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
Pac taking legal action vs mayweather on grounds of defamation is a pussy move. Granted.
Mayweather ducking pacman and using baseless accusations on PED use is much more gay to me.

If that will happen, then all props to Mayweather for beating an equally great talent.
If Pac beats mayweather, then I will not be surprised to hear another story of a-side meths. Maybe people will become to wonder if pacman is from Mars. I think many will bite that as fact and will will require Pac for a DNA test.

I got your point with the mayorga thing, I have heard and seen even worse. But such statements will not make the same impact than when one calls you a cheat, a drug addict, and PED user -- especially when you are an athlete who makes money our of good reputation. Pac endorses a lot of stuff, lets give him a chance to legally clears his name. His not that brutal anyway, oscar made the apology and he gets pac forgiveness. Oscar knows pac can win the case, if not why would he make such statements?

You probably won't get this given the comments you've made but the 'man' is a politician and feels he has to protect his reputation to continue his career aspirations. Acting like a pussy has nothing to do with his decision to sue. His actions and persona don't display any insecurity about who he is as you so relate it to with the gay analogies.

Not in the UK.
If this had happened in England it would be down to Manny to prove hes not taking steroids and hasnt.
I heard a late night radio programme while fishing once, where it was on about American pharmacutical companies refusing to advertise in British health magazines because of the claims they make and the lawsuits that could follow.
But it didnt happen in America. Nothing will come of this lawsuit. Floyd asked Manny to take a test, Manny refused and Floyd said he wouldnt fight him until he does. Manny should be suing Arum for allowing him to look like a twat;D

Re: Mayweather Seeks Delay of Pacquiao Deposition
its really very simple:
pacquiao wants to fight under the commission's rules.
floyd wants to make his own rules for manny and himself to follow.
there is no reason for manny to have to follow those rules.
where's the controversy?
in an attempt to bully manny into agreeing to fight under his made up rules, floyd slandered manny.
manny, having been slandered, decides to sue floyd.
again where's the controversy?
its all very simple...floyd wanted to dictate the terms of the fight which were outside of the sanction bodies rules... then he decided to break the law and slander him in an attempt to shame him into fighting under his made up rules... now manny wants him to justify his slander or face the consequences. (these consequences are law. not made up rules. but law.)
there is no controversy here.

Then Floyd gets the bigger piece of the pie, no 50/50. There is no $1,000,000 fine, no catchweight. Bigger ring size, etc. If someone came up with demands it was Pac, Roach, and Arum. Floyd asked for one single thing: olympic style random blood tests, which Floyd is willing to take as well. What's so unfair about that?

just because Floyd's demands were not considered doesnt mean Pac's demands are all invalid. Just to show you, each of pac's pre fight demands have valid basis.
1. 50/50 split -- this is just fair since both fighters are on the top of their game and both of them can draw big crowds. We can back this up by facts coming from PPV and gate receipts of their last 2-4 fights. So the demand for the 50-50 split is valid.
2. 1M USD fine for each pound over 147. This demand was put in place because everybody knows what Floyd did when he fought a naturally smaller JMM. The contracted weight was 144, Floyd weigh 147 on weigh in. He just proves everybody that he can screw the weight Limit, he doesnt give a damn for the small fines, but 1M, it make him think twice. the fight is at 147, it was never at a catchweight of some sort.
3. Bigger ring size was not really an issue back then. It was questioned by roach and he sees Floyd plans to dance and run along so a bigger ring will give him extra space to run from pac. Thats all. Its not a showstopper so I guess it would be a problem for pac to agree for a bigger ring.
4. Floyd asked or demanded (lets use the same word for pac and floyd so to be fair) for only one thing and yes that one thing is the random, Olympic style blood test for Him and Pac... It was unprecedented. It was made out from "suspicion". The basis was Roger's theory of a-side meth (the legendary meth that makes your skin bullet proof).
NSAC already made a review on their protocol and they still find the currently implemented rules to be sufficient and valid for all their sponsored sporting event which includes boxing.

Does anybody know the ring size in the Mayweather-Marquez fight? Is it the same bigger ring size that Mayweather preferred in his fight with Pacquiao?
And shouldn't a smaller ring size be better since this is boxing and not a dance competition?
Btw, excellent post Dench !!!
