Pacquiao successfully files law suit

[fan johnny]

Althougth there is a amount specified in the suit, There is something called punitive damages and or actual damages. It could be called something else but I'm pretty sure there is more than one type of award if the case is won. The Pacquiao's Lawyer might be talking about the one not listed. Mayweather's insistence on having testing done outside of Boxing could actually be used against him as proof of losses using the guaranteed amount especially if he put his name to paper on the other issues. I'm pretty sure everyone will agree that Pacquiao's reputation has suffered greatly because Mayweather's insistence to have additional testing done. People will try to argue that it's because Pacquiao would not agree to the random part of the tests but the truth is, it is all additional testing. The court should view it as such, unless his Lawyer is able to spin it without showing Mayweather is guilty implying that Pacquiao is using PED's. It a catch-22 situation. So ya the case could possibly be worth millions.

Do you really think he's going to make 40 million off this? An extreme increase in performance is a reason stated by the WADA for doing extra testing of an athlete, the NSAC defers to the WADA for their drug screening rules. Pacquiao has been untouchable in his last few fights in higher weight classes.
Mayweather Sr. thinks he's on steroids, so the Mayweather camp says ok prove you're clean and we'll make the fight happen. And then the lawsuit came, not after the accusation, but after they asked for a drug test.

Who cares about the case and how much money he can make?

He just ruined the chance for the fight. As of March 17th Pacquiao starts his political campaign, that's it for boxing assuming he wins the election. With all the blind devotion he gets he should be easy victor.

Actually I don't care if he make only 1 cent from the Law Suit, it just that people were writing 75x4/5=350K. You could be right that Mayweather will have a good defense. But as you have just stated you have your doubts about Pacquiao. Much more now than if only Mayweather Sr. said it.

[I don't think his chances of fighting Mayweather are ruined. Especially if Pacquiao wins the case. It should piss Mayweather Jr. off so much that he'd jump at the chance to face Pacquiao. If we are lucky, we might get to see Mayweather try to go toe to toe.... (Not really I'm just playing)
No way a fight gets made! ]

I just read though a big part of the petition (someone posted the link) and the $75K apparently is a only number that it exceeds. Not a specified amount he is claiming. The evidence listed against Mayweather Jr. is not so damning as it is with Mayweather Sr. I don't know what that means in making connections because it will be the Lawyer's job will be to connect the dots. I think he's going to have to do it with additional petitions. I don't think well be getting too many more accusations about Pacquiao using PED's from any of the named defendants. The rules are they get the filed documents as well.

Do I want to see Pacquiao win the case? I don't care... I only want to see the look on Mayweather Sr.'s face if he does. Why? I can't stand the disrespect he shows. As for Mayweather Jr. I don't think he is as malicious as Sr. but I also don't think he is innocent of wanting Pacquiao to have a popularity downfall. I'd much rather see the fight.

Very, very dissapointing. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this and that somehow Pac would see sense and just take the test, but he is obviously at the point of no return and is in the process of alienating himself amongst serious boxing fans too. Nobody cares less about a Malignaggi fight. It is Mayweather/Pacquiao with the names together that the entire boxing world has been clamouring for and it has been selfishly taken away from us.

Shame on Manny Pacquiao. I have lost a lot of respect for him over this.
