    That's because one of the two guys is a coward who makes up **** he can't back up later on.

    you don't even need an attorney to say that Floyd would be on the losing end of this lawsuit.

    IF people weren't fanboys of their fighters, you could obviously tell that Pac had a dog in this fight. Obvously the *****s failed to see this.

    If it's that easy to win a defamation case, every fighter should file for one.

    It's not like they get paid fairly by the promoters anyway.

    No you idiot, you just dont file defamation cases without strong basis or proof, otherwise you'd be sued for perjury or malicious prosecution. And you will if you go up against high-priced lawyers like Floyd's.

    I agree with you here, Pac had a clear case here no doubt. I'm just skeptical on if he suffered any real damages, there is no real way to measure damages. He would have probably won his case if they didn't settle.

    There is one thing thou, if they ever fight imagine what 24/7 would be like. Pacquaio would be preaching the gospel, Mayweather would be like a muzzled dog. He wouldn't be able to talk the shi he likes to spew out or at the risk of being sued. I can imagine it being the worst 24/7 ever.

    Yes. Pacquiao was defamed.

    If you say anything that impacts negatively upon someones reputation and you cannot produce any evidence to back it up then in the eyes of the law you are telling lies.

    Mayweathers don't know **** about defamation law.

    You can't even string together a word in the English language properly, yet we're supposed to believe you're an expert on legal matters?

    :patsch

    I think that some of the Mayweathers' comments were defamatory, but that they were probably still protected speech.

    I don't think Sullivan, who is quoted in this thread above, spent any time thinking about this case because he only talks about the damages portion. Damages weren't an issue. The only major issue at trial would have been meeting the 'actual malice' standard. In the March 2011 decision not to dismiss the case you can see that it's literally the only thing the judge considers.

    Manny prices himself out and finds reasons not to fight Floyd. He is scared of the style.
