    I don't think it's possible to spin it. I was one of Mayweathers biggest critics, but there is just no way to get on his case over this carry on. A request for absolute fairness in a fight is not something that can really be called into question, certainly not if you are a person of principles and with the knowledge that there are serious loopholes. Manny's sacrifice of the payday of a lifetime because he won't take a random test, is just incredible. And to try and sue everyone over it? Pac's team have become increasingly difficult to deal with in negotiations over time. But in this instance they have truly lost the plot.

    All of Manny's supporters need to take a cold, hard look at the situation and see it for what it is. Manny Pac refuses the fight we all want to see because he isn't willing to provide random checks. No other opponent should really fight him either, unless he is willing to provide the tests for them. If that means Manny has to retire, then so be it. I have no interest in seeing him fight again the way things stand. His reputation has taken a serious hit. Manny might make a pretty good politician judging by his recent behaviour. He is able to smile for the cameras and say its all down to god, but when it comes down to the serious questions he is simply unable to back it up. All it takes is a little bit of blood.

    I hope he enjoys his adventure in the courtrooms. After all that's obviously the way to solve everything.

    Here's the headlines at Philboxing

    "Manny Pacquiao's lawyer: Suit against Floyd Mayweather, others could be worth 'millions'"

    "HAPPY NEW YEAR TEAM MAYWEATHER, NOW ENJOY TODDLING IN YOUR OWN MUCK"

    I mean seriously here is their equivalent to this thread.

    Some of those people are seriously off their rockers. I wish some of our more demented types would plant themselves over there permanently.

    For a public figure to win a defamation suit in the USA is off the charts difficult, because the 1st ammnedment is arguably the central American value. Virtually every benefit of doubt is given to the person making the accusations, as the constitution demands a free exchange of ideas.

    Specifically, the judge has to find actual malice, meaning PBF & Co had to "know the statement was false." I suppose if someone said "I saw Manny inject" and that can be proved false Pac would have a case; but mere speculation that he takes steroids is indeed constitutionally protected speech. After all, many people have speculated about many athletes even when they had yet (or had never) tested positive: (hollyfied, Woods, Dykstra, Sosa, every offensive lineman in the NFL, etc) and never had to pay a dime in court.

    Pac appears to be reating like Clemons, thinking his faithful fans will assume if he's willing to file a suit, he must be innocent.The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

    It's a jungle out there. Seriously Manny, get off your high horse and just fight like what you always say.

    What and the lawsuit is going to return the credibility? It's not going to change anyone's minds win or lose. People that support Pac through thick and thin will continue to do so. People that have doubts because he won't take a drug test will continue to do so. Nothing changes as far as his credibility goes. Just a money grab.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    That's the thing he usually does his talking with his fists not his lawyers.

    Its sounding more and more like Manny is really suing for definition of character.

    This is bullshit - I wouldn't be surprised if this is a move encouraged by the scumbags Manny surrounds himself with, rather than the man himself.

    Roach, Ariza, Konz..Hell, even his name is fucking "cons" - and people thought Mayweathers entourage were bad

    They ain't got shit on cockroach, Triple A - Alex "anabolic" Ariza and Michael...erm..Konz?

    At least when the Mayweathers are outspoken, you know they're literally too stupid to know better.

    It shows what Roach is about, when he lost the plot with his friend over at doghouseboxing and told him to fuck off. That is a beaten man who has nowhere left to run or hide.

    Man, I'm pissed - This fight had to happen..I'm still hoping they can do something but it's gonna be difficult now.

    And KillerSheep, you wanna wait until people spin this on FMJ? No need to wait dude..it's those 2 magic words again... YOU TUBE!
