    Even if paq doesnt win, lawyer fees will cost mayweather so much he will probably be forced to fight people to pay them off. He already has IRS taking money from his fights. Also Mayweather Sr. doesnt have enough money to take on Paq in a lawsuit. Paq is far wealthier than Mayweather and can drag this lawsuit on for a long time. No loser pays eithers =)

    First: http://www.webcpa.com/news/Boxer-Floyd-Mayweather-Pays-Back-Taxes-51859-1.html


    Second: Pac will be paying money too.


    Third: ODLH is far wealthier than Pac, and he is one of the defendants.

    My point being that if he is refusing out of a sense of pride and dignity then engaging in a protracted and messy legal battle is a bit counterproductive. He's suing out of anger and malice. Justifiable, perhaps, but not because he wants to protect his fragile dignity.

    This will be a long drawn out case. It wont be a case of one case either- as each of the parties made seperate and different statements as different parties. so different lawsuits for each case. boring.
    The plaintiff really hasnt got a very strong case- as nobody claimed that he was explicitly on drugs- except for senior. They all said - i think something is up- or something is fishy- words of that effect. Nobody came out and flat said- Manny is on Drugs- we need to watch him .although i might be wrong on this- feel free to correct me. They may have implied it- but thats a different thing- in defamation- implication is much more easy to avoid that explicitness. Defamations are tricky enough as it is.
    I think Manny is mad, and acting out of bad advice- and anger, and the lawyers are licking there chops at the huge fees they ll get- as well as the profile of the case- and if they are rewarded- somehow- it will be a minute figure. The main loss of income will be his walking away from this fight. HIS walking away.
    The words themselves have not resulted in any direct loss of income- such as loss of sponsorships- or opponents withdrawing or interviews being cancelled- or promotions being called off- etc. These are the kinds of things that need to be proven. For example if Tiger- WASNT guilty- of cheating- HE could sue- TMZ for example for defamation - and loss of income.
    Since Manny hasnt actually lost any revenue- or had a dip in income - cos in effect- he is a freelancer, this will be impossible to prove. They will have to prove that he somehow has had less interest from opponents and other promoters since the controversy. He cant claim this fight- as the fight wasnt broken due to the statements- in fact gbp will say- its still on the table- and that they walked away. and they ll be right.
    So on those fronts- theres no money to be made. On the final front- is damages to public reputation- in which case- this is where he could make some coin. They could point to websites, writes and other publications who have all latched on to this and accused Manny of hiding something- as a means of proving the damage to his rep that the actions of PBF GBP have caused. this however wont pay nearly as much as the other two- probably a few million or hundred thousand- not much once the lawyer fees for these guys are paid.

    The defendants were nt stupid. They worded each of the artciles and statements very carefully- did you guys read floyds statement?? it was clearly written by a lawyer and dumbed down to make it look like floyd- not by that illiterate punk. Theyve covered themselves pretty well here when it comes to public official statements. if it werent for RA s interview and Snr talking **** to media- theyd be covered- but those are the tiny exposures that have opened them up.

    and no- im not a lawyer- but i did study it for two years before i dropped out, and my father is one.

    Maybe for Manny, there is no price tag for honor. That may be too much for you to comprehend judging by your statements.

    Indeed it could be. But asking someone to take a drugs test is different to saying that they take drugs. Solicitors, Lawyers are rubbing their hands with legal action because of the fees they get. What we need is common sense and not solicitors and lawyers getting paid thousands for legal work.

    Could for example Cotto, De La Hoya etc sue the Pac team and the WBO for forcing them to fight at weights that were uncomfortable for them. If a fighter got brain damage in a welterweight title fight, that was at 142lbs because of dehydration then surely the lawyers would have something to say about that?

    Could a fighter who loses a title and gets smashed by someone who afterwards is found to have used illegal drugs or loaded gloves, take everyone to court because their future has been ruined by a cheater?

    Call me cynical, but I think all this talk is just to build up the fight.

    If Floyd was to lose a court case, what would happen? Would he walk away from Pacman or would he want to tear him up?

    A 100% Mayweather beats Pacman for me, but what % Mayweather will we get, what has he got left?

    stfu clown. you are one of the main scrubs on this sight who is now trying to act like you have some type of scruples. a grown man with kids who still calls himself PIMP anything, is a complete clown. a clown who allows other posters to make derogatory remarks about mexicans, when their own kids are half mexican, just because that poster is a floyd fan, is a frickin scrub who shouldnt be trying to tell anyone about right and wrong. stick to telling us about how hard it is in the hood and how none of us pussys would ever make it there.

    :admin I have always had scruples tranny. I trust my own judgment only and I am usually correct when it comes to people's character. Manny Pacaroid is a fake ass mother****er. I never actually observed him or listened to anything he has ever had to say until recently. I just watched him fight and ate ****ing popcorn. No innocent man reacts like the way he did to this whole debacle. I dont need any ******* breakdown into his psyche or religion or shitting schedule. You may fool these gullible ass gumps running around here but I know when somebody is playing the little old innocent foreigner routine. I look at all the pre fight spectacles surrounding his last few fights and Freddie Roach acting like a paranoid ***** about where he trains, who is around him etc etc. And it kind of all is starting to add up now. They have a shitty and shady promoter that protects his fighters even claims their innocence even after being found guilty.

    All I got to say is Pac better keep all those hanger ons happy or **** will get really interesting. All and all I think he used illegal supplements but that dont mean he is a shitty fighter without them. Shane cheated and he is still in the game and gets more respect than Mayweather. So pretty much what I am saying is **** you *******s who look at your favorite fighter as a hero rather than a boxer. **** like that clouds your judgment. Nobody talks about Floyd being the pride of the ghetto and **** like that. We like our athletes we dont make them ****ing heros. Big ass difference in mentality.
