    Maybe you need to learn how to read, lol.

    I AM NOT A LAWYER.

    And I never claimed to be one either. So I don't know where you dumbasses are getting that notion from.

    Yes, he was defamed. The burden of proof lies on the plaintiff in terms of proving the allegations aren't true, but not necessarily that it cost him a certain amount of money; an inferior image is the commonly understood necessary outcome, and that's what resulted.

    I can read well enough to see immediately that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

    Not 100 percent sure, depending on the common law precedent which I'm not familiar with, but that's my understanding of it. Apparently it's to prevent the person's general well-being. As a deterrent, that reasoning makes sense, otherwise you got people saying all sorts of **** about each other that doesn't directly impact their financial well-being but could make their lives much more difficult. So Manny doesn't really have to prove he lost money from it, just that the claims are false and make him look inferior to his prior image.

    I was under the impression that Pacquiao accused the Mayweathers of defamation and slander. That's why I believed he would have to prove financial loss. If it's just defamtion, then I think all Pacquiao has to prove is that he said it. And since he never tested positive for anything, he would win.

    I think that's how it goes.

    finding somebody claim that they didn't buy pac's ppv because they believe in what floyd said that pac was cheating shouldn't be hard.

    the courts need not search much. all we need to do is send a link to this forum and key in words on the search bar for "nah, im not buying pac's PPV". they'd find tons here.

    He was only defamed post Mosley where he started to look vunerable, then when he lost to Marquez and got another gift **** went through the roof

    Lets put it this way, You didnt see him sueing Malignaggi or Corley did you?
