    If he is suing for defamation of character won't he have to drug test anyway to prove the claims against him are false?

    I don't know a great deal about the law in the US but does Manny actually have a case? If he's saying these allegations could prevent future earning then how would he win? Because from the original accusations after the Hatton fight from Mayweather Sr he's made a huge payday against Cotto, is set to make another big payday against Clottey and he would have made the biggest amount of his career if he'd took the tests and fought Mayweather. I just don't see how he could win it?

    Did XaduBoxer write that lawsuit??

    It's a legal document, not some PR release to go on about how great Manny is. FFS, whoever wrote that is surely going to get laughed out of court.

    Anyway, I did Media Law at University, and I can say with a great deal of certainty that he will struggle to win, particularly in the US. If it was in the UK, he might have a better chance, but some of those are just never going to happen. There is no way in hell that Schaeffer, Oscar or Ellerbe can be held liable & the only plus out of going for them is it might finally ruin Ronnie Nathanielsz reputation enough that BoxingScene get rid of him. He's basically XaduBoxer among journalists.

    Floyd Jr made an off the cuff comment that he could easily say was meant in jest. In addition, Pacquiao has to prove that it was a truly malicious comment that was said in a moment of 'sober mind', ie not when someone is inebriated, upset or angry. Mayweather can easily argue that he was provoked into it and that the interviewer chose to interpret his comments. Mayweather Sr made clear that what he said was only his own opinion on the matter and a personal belief. Hard to win there. He might get something out of Roger Mayweather because he made an assertion that he knew something as fact. Even then he could argue that he was asserting a personal opinion, but unlike the others he didn't verify it as such.
