Pacquiao to take deposition on Friday for defamation case against Mayweather Jr.
February 15th, 2012
By Jason Kim: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will be flying from the Philippines on Thursday to arrive in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday to reportedly gives his deposition for his defamation case he previously filed against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Pacquiao’s lawyer Petrocelli told the Manila Bulletin “The case against Mayweather is very strong.”
It’s unclear how much money Pacquiao can get ultimately from this case if he wins it. As wealthy as Mayeather is, it might not bring in the kind of money that some people think it will. It’ll be interesting to see if Pacquiao can win and if he does, what kind of financial award he’s given by the court. His lawyers will likely have to prove that his reputation was damaged and he was impacted in some manner.
It was thought that Mayweather might apologize to Pacquiao in order to get out of the lawsuit but that doesn’t appear to be happening. The lawsuit appears to be independent to whether the two fighters get in the ring or not. It will continue to move forward until completion.
Mayweather is fighting WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto on May 5th in Las Vegas, whereas Pacquiao is taking on Timothy Bradley on June 9th also in Las Vegas. It’s unlikely that Mayweather will fight Pacquiao later in the year, as WBC junior middleweight champion Saul Alvarez is reportedly going to be next for Mayweather in late 2012 or early 2013. This means that we may not see a fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather until mid to late 2013, if at all. If the fight goes beyond 2013, it’s going to be much less appealing to boxing fans.

Suing is the only way to stop this bigot from spewing more racist slurs.
Back 2 boxing!! Can some1 just convince these dudes 2 fight! Get is over wit!!
No reason 2 minorties should be taking shots @ each other over rich people who dont care bout us anyway. STFU please!!
I can’t stand u trolls. Punks in real life. If u said any of this mess in the street u’d b shot. Keyboard Courage I guess.
Nobody but Black people know what is like 2B black. Other people r just actors. B u’rself. (Im a black man & u sound like a complete idiot)
MP is becoming soft. Its hard 2 watch. Soon he gonna be on dancing w/ the stars. Box 4 God’s sake & b a man!
@pretty boring: Honestly, I like Pacman but this lawsuit & that photo above looks more like an anal sex dude 2 me. Is he in a boy band?
@hoeluva 23
Just like mayweather pacquio knows that he is worth more than 40 million thats why he didn’t accept that offer. But mayweather is the one who has something to prove, having 0 lose he has to prove that he can beat the best in boxing right now and that is paquio thats is why we want to see a paquio mayweather fight . Paquio does not have any thing to prove coz win or loose he wont lose any thing, unlike floyd he looses his 0 when he loose. About the law suit, why won’t mayweather just say sorry. Every one else said sorry and paquio dropped his law suit againts them.
Too much anal sex. Floydie’s gonna enjoy prison.
You may beat us with words on paper, but it sure as hell won’t happen in the ring!!
That’s ok boxingnew24. He’s still yellow!
Short man, apparently he is a giant in the ring.
Floyd, the giant black man. A heaping 5’8 and weighs 147 lbs. hahahaha. No wonder he’s so angry at the world. He’s got the Napoleon complex! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
When Mayweather gets out he’s going to be in great shape because all he can do in jail is workout. The only reason Mayweather is going to jail in the first place is because both the judge and his ex or both latino; and you racist hate him so much. Why? because he’s black and so dammmm goooood!! Now, Pacquiao is taking a clue from you. I know I can’t beat him in the ring, so I’ll take him to court where the deck is fixed.
If red is anger and green is greed, then what color is a scared Pacquiao?
Lol PAC cashi’ out 15mil out of midget black Floyd with out even breakin a sweat! How sweat is that? PAC owns floydie anyday in anyway! Lol
Pacquiao just doesn’t get it. Mayweather needs the cash to buy a bunch load of soap he can drop in prison. It’s lonely out there without his boyfriend 50cent
Read what Roger has being blathering on about to, yep I’d go to court to. Before a fight hype is all part and parcel, but like or hate Manny, this is just not right.
Pac chose to fight Floyd in the court of law rather than inside a boxing ring. Sad. This ugly cross-eyed overhyped midget is scared.
Maybe Pacquiao can get Money to Mayweather without fighting him in the ring. Pacquiao wins
The scared and coward Floyd Jr is totally scared to pacman.Coward Floyd Jr is in a nightmare nowadays bcoz of Pacman.Coward Floyd Jr is too ashame to the people bcoz he doesn’t wanna fight Pacman and much more that there’s a lawsuit he has to face again vs Pacman.I actually pity coward Floyd Jr…it’s a big,big problem for him right guys?Bwahahahahahaha!
lets have it the other way.why not maynever accept the 45 million offered by arum to fight pacquiao?everybody knows that maynever is very much afraid of pac.why not make the fight first and after the fight test each fighter for ped?
The only person that has hurt Pacquiao financially, is Arum. Manny should sue Bob!!
boo hoo the big bad mayweather made the little man cry boo hoo its not fair(tears) wat a little b i t c h hes making himself look more stupid. that s t e r o i d taking motha fu***
Yuk, yuk! Floyd will have to pay all Manny’s legal fees! (millions) don’t think Floyd’s fans will help him out! YUK,YUK, YUK!
This guy is making boxing history. No fighter in history has ever sued another fighter cuz he got his feelings hurt. The other thing it has done is force Manny to clean up. Thats why JMM beat him cuz Manny was clean. He cant take the chance anymore. So now you have an average midget fighter. He has been clean since Clottey. And by the way, to win he must prove that he was financially hurt by what Floyd said. The mans getting his biggest payday fighting Bradley! This guy and his stupid fans and rip-off promoter have ruined boxing.
Yo Pacquiao, if Mayweather hurt your feelings, or insulted you in any way, why not get him in the ring and make him pay?
I think you should sign the contract and get in the and kick Mayweathers azz…
What? Scurrrrrrred?
Get in the ring Orangutan! Nothing stans between you and Mayweather but your fear and atmosphere!

This isn’t the Phillippines you know.
What a cry baby . Does he even know that in America you can express all your true feelings freely ?
Pac cant / wont beat Floyd in the ring so beat him in court… COWARD..
@free64fun
I think you should be quiet then until you’ve been around it 4 decades….
Mayweather’s pride is too much, I agree! That’s why he said he would take less money to make the fight happen for the fans, only to later change his mind and say he deserves no less than 50%! What a Fraud!
Oh wait… that was Manny Pacquiao who said that. My bad..
To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?
If Pacquiao loses this lawsuit, this only proves he couldn’t prove that Mayweather defamed his name by saying he thinks he’s used performance enhancing drugs.
That’s all it means. Period. Boom.
If only the scared and coward Floyd Jr would change his comments and apologize to Pacman as well as agreed without anymore excuses to fight Pacman….then probably Pacman would consider that.But the problem is coward Floyd Jr’s ego and pride is abnormal and he’s too scared to Pacman…how could this be settled between both of them? Anyway,just face the court coward Floyd jr, you’re used to it anyway.Bwahahahahaa!
This guy Pacquiao is SOFT!
If you can’t beat them, sue them. If Pacquiao had a decent promoter that didn’t take most of his money, he wouldn’t need to sue.
Manny will be broke sooner than later
It’s the scared and coward Floyd jr’s fault at all.Coward Floyd Jr accused Pcman os using this BS RBT but the truth is coward Floyd Jr is too scared to Pacman.Now,it’s coward Floyd Jr turn to face the court.Well anyway,coward Floyd Jr is already used to face in court…in fact,he’s a criminal right guys?Bwahahahahaha!

Pacman is a little girl this proves he is really scared of mayweather because if he tought he could beat him and wanted to prove he isnt on steroids he take the test and 40 million and get in the ring with floyd to beat him not in to the court to try beat him.
Pacquiao can fly to LA for a BS lawsuit, but he can’t as much as show up to get the fight that the world wants to see.
Arum, Roach, and Pacquiao want nothing to do with Mayweather.
Settle it in the ring Pacquiao? Scurred?
MANNY PACQUIAO You have…COWARDITIS!
Ive been around boxing for close to 3 decades.This is some little girl lawsuit bs.Take the test and then knock Mayweathers head off.Thats how real fighters settle it.Like men in the ring.
yes that true manny ang krista forever
sana matalo si pacquiao
MANNY PACQUIAO AND KRISTA RANILLO
when was the last time did we see a mega fighter not avoid anyone? tyson!!!
@ Tony Serpico: What an imbecile! It’s because of Floyd’s multi-team of attorney’s he’s in debt & needs to fight a few times to keep a portion of his wealth after the IRS, Al Haymon, Roger (10%), De La Hoya all get their shares.
Pacquiao lived in the streets selling stolen cigarettes. When he gets some wealth under his belt, its the same story w/ any athlete that comes from poverty. They eat better and have money for a nutional adviser. Steroids really? You are just as ignorant as your namesake.
Boxers have become soft. Getting offended & suing like girls. FMJ or MP got a problem wit each other…Fight!! No lawsuits. B.A.MAN!!
Manny is not focus on money … just need Floyd to admit he is a F * U * C * K * I * N * G LIAR!!!!
@jeff41: you cry, sleep,bleed and doodoo pakoiya!
To Moonshineman
Manny will win the law suit but not a big money. It’s all about the principle, all Mayweather has to do is apologize and it’s all done, just like Dela Hoya.
If Manny doesn’t win this lawsuit ,our American legal system is broken.
So Manny is punishing Floyd for refusing to fight him!?
If Mayweather has too much pride to apologize, than he is more ignorant than I though. If Pacquiao will not accept an apology from Mayweather, than he’s more ignorant than I thought.
I can can say that I think Manny Pacquiao is taking steroids base on him going up in weight.
what will pakoiya fans do when he retires, probably ride on jeremy lin’s bandwagon!
I thought Pacquiao was going to take 40M guaranteed and settles scores with Floyd in the ring. I was wrong Pacman is a coward and would rather mumble jumble in courts about whatever it is that Floyd opinion was. I don’t see how a judge would give him money considering he make 25M a fight and sells out arenas.
This guy could barely speak second grade English and will be eaten alive by Floyd’s lawyers if they were any good.
It’s the Principle period. Someone is defaming me I will do the same and sue. Now let see if Mayweather will take his deposition, Manny is flying from the Philippines to take the deposition thousand of miles away from Nevada, why Mayweather do the same he live down the street of the court. LMAO
Manny is definately on the performance enhancers! The signs are clear, have a think about it! HE SHOULD HAVE JUST JUMPED IN THE RING AND FOUGHT MAYWEATHER
Say what you want about either fighters. I respect them both equally as the top fighters of today but Manny trying to sue Mayweather for that is the worst thing in boxing I have ever heard of, I have also lost respect for Manny too… Maybe he has been on the gear and its offended him that much! He should have just taken mayweathers offer if he really wasn’t on the gear to show everyone he ain’t hiding nothing…
This is the real reason the right didnt happen. Pac refused to drop the case, but May never said that. Thats blackmale from Mayweather. He has too much pride, all he had to do was apologize like Delahoya. Opinions please.
Why dont you just get in the bloody ring and fight it out arnt you a boxer?????
Suing somebody of this is like telling the teacher when u r being teased. Grow a back bone! This is boxing! OMG
Pacman is a coward he was beaten three times by Marquez easily and marquez was robbed well and truly and mayweather would have no trouble with the little coward
Lets be honest here, it is not by coincidence that pac man has gone done in the last 5 fights with the marquez fight being his worst performance. His reluctance to take performance enhancing tests was the major blocking point. I dont understand how someone would want a cut-off date if they were a clean fighter.
This lawsuit is baseless because he has not been financially impacted.
Case DISMISSED!!!
This is the most emotional dude ever. U gonna sue…OMG! I lost even more respect 4 U.
PACQUAIO THE COP. COWARD pu-c
I think Manny is doing this not to earn money (he has enough) or repair his image (because it’s proven he’s clean), but to put pressure on Floyd to fight him. Alas, it won’t work. Floyd and his family see the jail safer for him than inside the ring with Manny.
