Mayweather wants to postpone deposition
June 15th, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): Reports are circulating in the media that Floyd “Money” Mayweather (41-0, 25 KO’s) through his lawyers has asked the US Circuit Court Judge in Nevada to postpone the deposition he is expected to give on Friday related to the lawsuit that Manny Pacquiao and his lawyers have filed against him. Floyd’s lawyers contend that he “needs to concentrate on training and not be distracted by preparing for and testifying at his deposition in this case.”
One of the major concerns for Floyd and his attorneys is that he is now isolated in his lawsuit. Originally Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions was named as part of the lawsuit, but when De La Hoya and Golden Boy issued a public apology to Manny Pacquiao it left Floyd Mayweather hanging all alone. In the apology De La Hoya and Golden Boy acknowledged that there was no substantiating evidence that Manny Pacquiao ever used Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDS). The apology covered all bases and De La Hoya went on to say that he never wanted to insinuate that Manny ever did anything illegal to enhance his performance. The apology will enable Bob Arum and Top Rank to work with De La Hoya and Golden Boy in the future.
The settlement between Top Rank and Golden Boy poses a major problem for Mayweather and leaves him in a “catch 22” situation. The last thing “Money” needs at this stage of his career are more legal problems. However he has painted himself into a corner with regard to his accusations against Manny Pacquiao. It would be very difficult for him to now apologize to Manny as De La Hoya has done and admit that his allegations are unfounded. That would also greatly weaken his case that he will not fight Manny due to the random drug testing issue.
On the other hand he is involved in a lawsuit that he cannot win and undoubtedly his legal team has told him that.
It is true that the legal issues Floyd Mayweather is going through can cause extreme stress. It is also true that most of his current legal problems are self inflicted.

shut the fu(k up. kahit dito sa atin sa pilipinas, madami umaamin talo si pokyaw! (even here in the philippines, so many conceded that pokyaw lost!)
When someone says omething positive about Manny certain writers here always disagree but when the Mayweathers spew their venom and hate or anyone says something negative they quickly agree.
To you who call him a PED user that is why your leader is now in trouble and begging for a delay or uisng it as an excuse not to face Ortiz.
Judgment Day has arrived and poor little Fraud is left alone with his Maytwitter family because Oscar left him since they had nothing against Manny and Oscar knew it.
marvin hagler says to Floyd: “stop the nonsense and fight Pacquiao!”
evander holyfield says to Floyd: “Pacquiao is one of the All Time Greats”
b-hops says to Floyd: “Pacquiao is the P4P King hands down!”
It goes to show how spoiled of a brat Floyd. But I guess he’s also a little slow understanding that Pacquiao has the whole America in his back including Harry Reid/Nevada up to President Obama. Thats because we believe CRIME DOES NOT PAY!
Ross- It’s called “mindgames”, in case you haven’t heard of the term. Floyd wants to play minganes with me, fine, I’ll play mindgames with you, let’s get a bigger playgound, ya know, like the COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
Ok now, let’s see what ya got, let’s play, c’mon, Floyd.
Nahh, I want postponement.LOL!!!
Simple concept really.
Either way, the Mayweather’s lose.
ROFLMAO!!!!
To all you tontos who try to complicate things up. It is really very simple, amigos – smh, sean, bri and co.
Floyd and his family are the ones named in the lawsuit. The lawsuit was FILED AGAINST THEM, so, it is them, to prove their innocnece. That there was no defamation on their part. The reality of this, is that the ploy of the Mayweathers backfired on them, BIG TIME, with this lawsuit. Oscar dela Hoya and Golden Boy knew this was an unwinnable case, so rather than go for a long and tedious process which will drag on and on and on, they decided to agree to a settlement.
If Pacquiao loses on this case, nothing lost, nothing gained.
If Pacquiao and his team wins, do I need to say more?
Now on the other hand if the Mayeathers’ win, they just PROVED THAT THEY NEVER ACCUSED PACQUIAO OF PED USE, that’s all.
It’s not even the issue of Pacquiao using peds or not anymore. It’s the issue of the Mayweathers’ actions and accusations.
If on the other hand, they lose, boy, THEY WILL LOSE BIG. REALLY BIG.
It all boiled down to a lsoe-lose situation for the Myweathers’.
Now, tontos, which part of that do I have to expound for you?
HAHA…this is the same guy who wants ‘random’ but wants to ‘postpone’. Not only does he want to duck Pacquiao, he wants to duck the legal system, LOL.
If you have nothing to hide then take the depo.
Floyduckie ran out of money therefore he needs to make this fight first so he has some money to pay his lawyer.
Well done Big nose keep exposing them.
Poor Floyd! He is going to crash and burn!
@ American
it seems you’re the one who is idiot here. you can’t back up your claims by facts.
@ American
manny started boxing at the age of 14. by 16, he move to pro. he only has 2 yrs experienced as an amateur and his poverty drove him to look for greener pasture. that’s the reason he didn’t play in the olympics, because in boxing, big money fights are in the pro level, and not in the amateur.
big nose he’s not my idol I don’t have an idol I just hate idiots like you. why wasn’t pac in the olympics?
@ American
you are just like your idol, full of excuses!!! no one, and i say no one, in this site can rebut what i said that floydiots are all st@pid!!! and you are one of my proofs!!!
@ big nose
I’m using an app from my phone. but when I get on my lap top I’m going to post the long list of ppl Floyd fought and has done osdt for his fights. also big nose since your so full of knowledge how come pac didn’t fight in the Olympics?
Floyd is deperate. Floyd is out of cash. He has to take Ortiz to pay his legal bills.
@ american
floyd NEVER demanded rbt in his previous fights before the pacquiao negotiation FACT! all you can do is yap yap yap because you can’t show any proof you ignorant fool!!!
Big nose
your making your race look ignorant get on your windows 1998 computer you poor guy and look up fmjs early fights and agreements with fighters before the fight. you are an idiot. did you know klitchko wont fight some one unless he comes out second regardless what he is offerd. no bc your ignorant. look up fmjs early fights you will see. and stop copy and pasting what im saying that doesnt make your poverty flip face right
black people smell
Giving or getting a deposition especially with the aid of good lawyers who Mae Weeder can afford is not a problem or no big deal. The fact remains that Weeder does not have solid or concrete evidence that Pacman is taking PED. He just rattles his BIG mouth like his idiotic dad. So, what do you expect? Have a good or perfect kid from an outrageous dysfunctional father or family of women beaters and child abusers? You must be kidding. This guy will surely lose his case and it will cost him money which is already drained from his pocket. All what Pacman needs is to clean his name which Weeder tarnished without sense. DelaHoya and his company did apologize and Pacman dropped the case against them. He was not asking much, but I doubt Pac will be easy on Mae this time. So, let the chips falls on their right places. For now, we just wait and see.. Mae Weeder has no good excuse to delay his deposition. All what he needs is take a day off from his being a problematic maniac and go take or give his depo. Period!
That picture should be used in scuLpting a statue of floyd to remind the next generation of boxers and boxing fans that he is the GREATEST CLOWN THAT HAVE EVER LIVED!
That picture should be used in scupting a stutue of floyd to remind the next genertion of boxers and boxing fans that he is the GREATEST CLOWN THAT EVER LIVED!
floyd hurry bars are waiting
Floyd’s comment on fighting natural fighters only is another ammunition that PAC lawyers is gathering on the case.
Floydie is digging himself a big hole. His lawyers are sweating whenever he opens his mouth.
Anything that has to do with Pacquiao, Floydie will keep on deferring.
Fight with Pacquiao……..Easy money against the one dimensional fighter………..well, he is fighting Victor Ortiz instead with a lot less millions in his pocket. Avoid Pacquiao at all cost.
Pacquiao’s defamation case…………No problem…….case has no basis whatsover and will be dismissed outright. Court found Floydie has a case to answer…..case has been deferred a number of times and Floydie’s excuse of the upcoming fight with Ortiz is another way of avoiding Pacquiao.
WTF FLOYDIE
only p@@@ys make excuses not to fight.. this is boxing, its for real me.. boxing doesnt need you floyd, there has been some great fights when you where gone.. mayweather vs ortiz.. so what, people are even looking forword to margorito vs cotto more, maidana vs gerraro.. haye vs klitshko.. just go away if you are not going to be a real man and fight the best.. and stop trying tto duck your responsabilitys.. i was on your facebook page the other day.. all there is is a bunch or black people kissing you a@@
floydiots are the easiest to school because of their IQ which is lower than the marianas trench!!!
unfortunately, they don’t know how bad they look whenever they got schooled.

settle it in the ring, not the courtroom
______________________________________________
the problem is, your role model idol doesn’t want to enter the ring with pac!
and by the way, don’t make floyd’s legal problems as an excuse. floyd made all his fans look st@pid by saying he can’t fight at the moment because of his legal problems, and yet, he will be facing ortiz lol!!!

Why did team pacquiao send an email asking what would happen if PAC tested positive? Hmm sounds fishy to me he’s definitely juicing
______________________________________________
it was teddy atlas who said manny sent an email regarding that matter. when atlas was challenged to show the email, he can’t show any. again, another baseless accusation from pac haters. just like floyd when he said he did signed the contract and promise that he will show said contract. but until now, NOTHING lol!!!
settle it in the ring, not the courtroom
Floyd is the biggest fraud in BOXING … if he wants to be the best then fight Sergio, Bradley and/or Manny.
Ortiz is the flavor of the month and Floyd just want the easy payday, BUT Ortiz will hurt Floyd and win by split decision.
Floyd 41-1.
…To the writer, these are rumours as usual isn’t it? I will bet my small finger, this will not cause Floyd luck of sleep, rather Manny must be fuming from the revelation. Floyd’s lawyers are not bums, this will be small issue to sort out.

your ignorant ppl not me accuse him of doing peds bc he won’t take a rbt that fmj has made majority of the ppl he has fought in his career take. big nose you need to get your face out of pacs lap.
_____________________________________________
the more you post illogical comments here, the more people will know how ignorant dumb you are!
majority of floyd’s opponent took rbt??? it seems you got to know floyd and boxing just a few minutes ago dude. way to go, way to go retard!!!
FYI, floyd started demanding rbt only when manny was about to fight him (which floyd avoided). it was only since then that floyd made that demand against his opponents @sshole!!!
The legal case is going nowhere. Floyd should ask the judges if they know for sure if Manny is not on drugs. I am sure the answer would be no. So, like Floyd has asked, the only way to know is to have a test, infact Floyd all along has just asked for a test that is all….no case!
the best these floydiots can do is post illogical comments here and yet, they have the guts to call you ignorant lol!!!
THAT’S HOW DUMB THESE NOVICE ARE!!!

manny fresh is right
I love how all the pac fans are like jumping on this like its a big deal and they keep saying he gets what he deserves. all he did was make a reasonable accusation.
_______________________________________________________
floyd (and the floydiots of course) accused pac of using PEDs without any proof and even saying pac beats old, washed up, shot and has been fighters!!! IS THAT REASONABLE ACCUSATION??? oh my, this dog is nuts! c’mon dog, if you can’t post any logical comments here, then GTFOH!

@ the phony Big Nose.
I didn’t say dropping the lawsuit would prove his innocence. I said it would make him the bigger man. The only hing that will prove Manny’ innocence is taking the tests. The lawsuit will not prove that Manny is not Juicing.
________________________________________________
manny has proven in all his fight that he is clean! if you got problems with the NSAC’s testing protocol, then GTFOH! and who told you manny’s law suit against that nigg@h is purposely to prove his innocence? it is to prove that floyd malign him! it’s different dude! the burden of proof is on that nigg@h’s side and not on manny’s! IGNORANCE OF THE LAW EXCUSES NO ONE!!! that includes you @sshole!!!

If Random testing becomes protocol in boxing. That will be the last we see of Manny Pacquiao. …. The other thing that is killing boxing is the match making. Boxers and their promoters should not be able to pick and chose their opponent.
____________________________________________________
if random testing becomes protocol in boxing, floyd will be the first one to disagree and for sure, floyd will go to permanent retirement, why? because there will never be more excuses to duck the best!!!
ooooppppsssss…i’m sorry, there still are, “100M dollar demand”, “i’m on vacation”, “no urge in boxing”, it’s endless… actually
Floyd,
GROW SOME BALLS!
TAKE THE DEPO!
Floyd, if pacman is doing what you are accusing him of then his brother who is also a boxer but bigger and taller than him would be known for his undefeated records NOW but it is the other way around.
If B-Hopkins could beat a 28 yrs old guy then accused of what you are doing – would you not agree with B-Hop to take that guy to court.
You thought you could crucify pacman in public but you got KARMA – backfired to you big time.
Where are you now, only your die hard fans like Chris W and Tony At would defend you, the undefendable.
TAKE THE DEPO
TAKE THE DEPO
Him taking the deposition now or later has nothing to do with what the outcome will be.
I’ve had to take 3 depositions and I postponed every one of them as well. Normally, they require you to travel, and they’re boring/tedious/annoying. It’s an inconvenience to have to do one, so I don’t blame Floyd for not wanting to do it right now.
It’s not about preparation for the deposition. His lawyers will have him ready in 2 days flat for any deposition question given.
Anonymous, you are really weird. Just thought you should know.

This lawsuit is a joke.lol. Ooohhh he said something bad about me… Make him stop . Boo hoo hoo.. Come on Manny…You are just suing Mayweather to make some money off of him without actually fighting him. Take the tests you coward.
————————————————————–
FYI.
Manny was not suing Mayweather to make some money. According to ESNEWS, Roach and PAC’s camp made it clear that Manny would drop the lawsuit if Mayweather fight him in the ring. In that very fact, Manny and Mayweather could earn more or less $50million guaranteed purse.

Remember Oscar and his friend apologized and settled with pacman lawyers – I heard just a few mil bucks.
For you, being the MONEY man, it won’t be a problem – if you could tell the IRS to wait for that MIL settlement and been delaying to visit that COURT that you are familiar with – why not – TAKE THE DEPO.
At least you have this fight coming in which your fans especially Chris W and Tony A would probably chip in for $500.00 (their share) – TAKE THE DEPO.
Why wait when you are going to banish again after Ortiz – TAKE THE DEPO now.
Of course, I am not going to see your live PPV, I will read it here and watch the following week (that’s for sure – written in stone).
One last advise – TAKE THE DEPO
Floyd, bring Chris W, Tony A, 50 C, your GF, and others with you – TAKE THE DEPO.
Floyd, don’t be afraid to settle. let’s say you got 60 M for your next fight. Uncle Sam would get at least 35 percent, you are going to pay your people of another 15 percent. at least you have 20 to 30 MIL – then you are going to pay Pacman lawyers, let’s say minimum of 10 MIL, your ex another 5 MIL, the Security guards of 1 MIL, your ex children, another 4 MIL, the HOA of another 100,000 T.
Man, you are going to be break even – good job, FLOYD – NOW – TAKE THE DEPO – GROW BBBAAAALLLLSSS.
unlike the osdt which is not required by law, the depo is required by law. floyd has to pay.
floyd can’t run on this one.
Floyd, be brave for the sake of your fans – TAKE THE DEPO.
Floyd, don’t keep on hiding for the sake of your fans – TAKE THE DEPO.
Floyd, don’t torture yourself for the loss coming to you big time – TAKE THE DEPO.
Floyd, Be a man – TAKE THE DEPO.
Floyd, don’t be a child – TAke THE DEPO.
Floyd, show it to your fans, that you have bbbaaallllss – TAKE THE DEPO.
You don’t want to fight Pac in the ring, now you got your wishes – TAKE THE DEPO.
floydiots’ st@pidity, again!!!
1.) bri says: “in law suites things are postponed for years so this is not unusual.”
suites? are you in a hotel???
2.) bri says: for those who dont know the law. its hard to find someone guilty of freedom of speak and opinion.
hahaha…look who’s talking!!!
3.) Ross says: Prove your innocence Manny. Be the bigger man. Drop the lawsuit.
dropping the law will prove someone’s innocence???
chris williams and dan ambrose are so mad at you, writing against there baby
Floyd take the depo.
Floyd take the depo.
Floyd take the depo.
You know you are going to lose big time, why delay it.
I know you need money, that’s why you choose someone who got lucky with berto.
Floyd take the depo.

well, your post tells us one thing, that you are so dumb!
“suites” is different from “suits”. and secondly, there is no such crimes as “freedom of speak and opinion” and you can’t be guilty of freedom of speak and opinion!
where you from dude? don’t you have any form of education in your country?
@ Ross

@ulol
What makes you think that Oscar’s apology had anything to do with the lawsuit. Maybe it did. It could also be that it was a business decision. Since Bob Arum was being a big baby and didn’t want to do any business with Golden Boy. Big fights were not being made because Bob and Manny got their wittle feewings hurt. Waaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!
floydiots wont stop spreading gossips coz they’re all g@ys. Wahahahha.
@smh
PPV numbers has nothing to do with Floyd’s guilt. And you are not the court or has legal knowledge to interpret what the statements meant but judging from De La Hoya’s recent settlement which tantamount to his admission of guilt, Floyd case certainly is a losing case.
Floyd and his floydiot fans are all G@ys… Bunch of gossipers..
the Pac always take the test when ever he fight and proven he his clean tha dirty are those who use their big bad mought just to cover how coward they are!!!
@Ross … you will for ever scream “Take the Test” … it easier to say “Be a MAN and drop the test!” Floyd is a DUCKER!!!
this is america u have a right to your opinion if manny wanted to prove himself not guilty he would have taken tests vs mosley or marquez since he sais he quote agreed to test witch roach edmited is not true.
this is what you get when you are speading hearsays you need to back it with complete solid evidence, dont worry Floyd you will just $5mil you are rich right!!!
this is sad come on pacgirl do you really have to take it there is this the best way to get some money off him with out fighting for it you gave up your belt with out defendin it now you come up with this and if it aint tru why you takin him to court
Prove your innocence Manny. Be the bigger man. Drop the lawsuit. Take the tests. Fight Mayweather. Whether you win the fight or not, you will gain the respect of many more boxing fans. This lawsuit will do nothing to clear your name for those who have suspicions. The suspicions of many boxing fans will never go away until you take the tests.Manny’s legacy will be tarnished forever.
This lawsuit is a joke.lol. Ooohhh he said something bad about me… Make him stop . Boo hoo hoo.. Come on Manny…You are just suing Mayweather to make some money off of him without actually fighting him. Take the tests you coward.
@SMH
Why would it be a burden for Team Pacquiao?
As for the defamation lawsuit, the burden to show the evidence to back up Floyd;s claims is with Team Mayweather.
This move just confirms Floyd’s status as the Great Ducker of All Time.
He ducked Cotto and Margarito
He ducked Manny.
And Now he is ducking his DEPOSITION in COURT!
LOL ROF
Floyd the truth will set you free, it easy to tell the truth than to tell lies, lies needs to be back up with evidence, so be true to your self and accept your afraid of Manny!!!
If his PPV numbers dropped after the accusation, that would be a big plus, but his PPV numbers have gone up with each fight, so this is going to be a very difficult case for team pacquiao…I’ve always been of the opinion, that Arum just looked out for his buddy Petrocelli, by letting him into manny’s pockets…
@Sean … do you work for Floyd as a blogger?
Manny is cheating! Mayweather has a right to his opinion! This lawsuit will get throw out!
I know he has alluded to and insinuated, that pacman has used PEDS, but can anyone provide a link where mayweather outright says that manny uses PEDs… I’ve heard he’s on the power pellets, I’ve heard the mayweather clan even says he must be on something….but I’ve never heard them say he uses something illegal to gain an advantage….”power pellets” and “on something” are not gonna win this case for manny, plus they still have to show damages(money lost)…
Justice delayed is justice denied. Floyd has to be made accountable and if found guilty, which he is, should be punished with a huge fine to deter him and others that such malicious act cannot be tolerated.
this is what lawyers do. they postpone and continue to do so. in law suites things are postponed for years so this is not unusual. for those who dont know the law. its hard to find someone guilty of freedom of speak and opinion. and when you are a celeberty you actually have less rights when it comes to what people say about you thats why magazines can tell lies all the time without backlash. this is a very hard case for manny to win. not to mention what investigations floyds team is doing in the background.
