And I sorta wished there would be some kinda court case. But not at the expense of the fight. People need to realize you can't say things as such unless you can prove it to be truth.

    I want for you to consider for a minute me taking your name and doing the worst possibly thing with it. Then telling you, personally, prove otherwise, or you are guilty. And it might be very difficult to prove. And maybe just my claim alone will damage you. Lets say you are applying for jobs in the future, and your name when punched into google by future potential employers comes up with all these allegations. Chances are, you are already damaged goods in some form of public opinion now and subjected to the reasoning behind libel laws.

    This ofc put Pac in an awkward position. But I do think the right course if he is clean is to prove to them he is in fact clean. And then sue their damn asses off. And if he isn't clean, then o well, guess they were right.

    I think there is a pretty big difference between a weight issue which we know Floyd already took advantage of with JMM, accepting a fine in lieu an advantage of coming in a bit over, and cheating with drugs.

    I understand his actions, but as a fan who wants to see the fight happen, I don't like them because it may not happen. But I'm not entirely sure where to put the blame.
    I'm actually quite glad that someone got to fuck with Roach and Pac like they've been fucking with fighters for some time now. Guess it took someone like Mayweather to do it. Good on him

    My statement had/has nothing to do with bias. Only about libel.

    Yours clearly does.

    Big diff.

    I think what has happened is this situation is mostly prefight hype, that ended up getting colored outside the lines. I don't think they were reading from a script (both sides), but from a playbook without guidelines. "Lets hype this thing!" And in doing so, Mayweathers took a step too far and forgot about the law with how serious of an allegation it was. Unless they know something we all don't, they could end up settling a big lawsuit out of court and it costing them. Plus could have derailed the whole deal. I wouldn't stand for anyone suggesting I was juicing either, and trying to belittle all my accomplishments, past and present. I'd sue their asses too for the next person to think twice about before trying the same thing.
