Pacquiao successfully files law suit

[:::PSL:::]

Atta boy Manny.

Please.

Mayweather's the disgraceful one. Instead of making the fight happen he slanders Pacquiao, and sets fire to Pacquiao's name by demanding tests that Rarley/NEVER used in professional boxing!


I don't know what's up with all the Pacquiao hatred on this forum. Even typically level headed posters are hating him. Pac man has done more for the sport than any other fighter the past couple years.


I don't see as how a boxing fan can't be a Pacquiao fan unless their vision is skewed by bias/ignorant dislike.

pac can used this forum to show how far his name has been slandered. lol

also, i see it funny how people are saying manny is giving up $40M by not taking a simple blood test. no one seem to realize that floyd is also giving up the same amount by not coming up with simple compromise of an effective test that would be acceptable to both parties. teamfloyd did say that pac would be easy work inside the ring. so why insists on their demands and not come up with a counter proposal since teampac did say that they're ok with random testing as long as there would be none of it a mere couple of daysbefore the fight. maybe mayweather's team should just find a compromise with their demands. why not propose an effective test that would not require blood drawing close to the fight? pacquiao after all is an easy fight according to the mayweathers and they're blowing away an easy $40M by insisting on a test that's never been done before in any professional championship fight, a test they never thought of asking any previous opponent before. i should say both sides are being stupid not to work this out.

i think pacquiao and mayweather can still come to a compromise regarding the testing and make the fight happen. the script isn't finish yet imo. the pac-dlh fight was also called off but eventually still got made.

Mayweathers camp did compromise.

Look at the facts, each team had a significant issue with the fight.

Pac's team was concerned that Mayweather would come in over weight. Mayweather agreed to the 10 million per pound clause to guarantee he would come in within the welterweight limit.

Mayweather's team was concerned Pacquiao was using PEDs. So they asked for a test to prove he was clean to the best of the ability of modern science. Pacquiao started making random excuses THEN ODLH came out and said he had concerns blah blah blah. And then Pacquiao sued instead of agreeing to the test.

Someone that files a lawsuit is not looking to negotiate.

they compromised regarding the weight penalty but not their demand of olympic type testing wherein they could draw blood from manny even within 48 hours from the fight.

Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said his fighter is willing to comply with strict drug-testing standards, but Roach won’t allow Pacquiao to have blood drawn 48 hours before the fight.

Ellerbe said he would not let Mayweather enter the ring unless Pacquiao agreed to it.

I should probably post a new thread but other probably will anyway and I think it belongs here.

Mayweather Jr. can take the steam out of this Lawsuit even for most everyone named in it simply by fighting Pacquiao. If he fights Pacquiao this March and they make more money than ever before then measuring the cost of defamation will be very very difficult.

Mayweather has until Monday to take Pacquiao’s drug testing deal

Nah. I'd say just wait for the outcome of the lawsuit and let the fight happen next fall.

pac should do the drug test and then continue with the case. If he's proven clear and win in the fight, he will double his revenue: the assured pot money and the payment for defamation.


if he's clear and lose the fight, he'll still double his revenue: the assured pot money and the payment for defamation.

He has nothing to lose here.

Pac should and must take the olympic random drug test. The boxing fans and the haters deserve to be satisfied.

Pac has no right to say no to something like drug testing no matter how ludicrous it is.

Pac needs to finish this issue and start with the training. The whole world knows that the only way this fight will not happen with all the money involved is to do the olympic drug testing.

IF Pac gives in to Mayweather's demand, his win over PBF will be much sweeter.
