What do you think about the defamation lawsuit that Pacquiao is pursuing against the Mayweathers, Golden Boy, and maybe even Malignaggi.
I haven't heard a lot about this case recently so either they are keeping it quiet, it's taking a while to set-up or it was just an empty threat.
I do think that Pacquiao does have a good chance of winning this lawsuit, as the evidence of Pacquiao using performance enhancement drugs is low. The case has gone beyond pre-fight banter and has entered the realm of tarnishing someone's reputation.
I hope that despite if this lawsuit goes through, I am still hopeful that a Pacquiao vs. Mayweather will still be realized.
What do you think about this whole scenario.

Could it be that one of the reasons that they're keeping it quiet is because Manny's going to run for a government position this May? I think he doesn't need to have this kind of issues surrounding him at the moment. And yeah, let Mayweather do all the talking because that's where he's good at -- just talk. Hahaha! I hope the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout pushes through. This will be the biggest fight after a long while. And if it does happen, I hope Pacquiao beats Mayweather to a pulp.

That is one possible case. Pacquiao probably does not want the public hampering him about issues, other than congressional chair position. Pacquiao a lot of money in order to be apart of the government. I hope that if he wins he is able to positively make an influence in the Philippines, as well as continue to box, because that is where his true talent lies. After the election let's hope that the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather bout is still amidst.

Mayweather is a stupid guy. He is afraid of Pacquiao so he is resorting to different accusations so that the fight won't push through. He could not just admit that he is just too scared of Pacquiao's strong fist so he could not really fight with him. I believe Pacquiao should pursue the lawsuit and surely it is another millions on his pocket once he wins. And this is a winning case I believe!

I agree with you that the slanderous statements that Mayweather threw on Pacquiao should be paid for. No one has made accusations of Pacquiao before and I believe that Pacquiao is an honorable man. He even stated himself that he is willing to take the blood tests after the fight is over to prove that he is clean. Mayweather does not have the authority to supersede the sport and create his own rules and regulations. Go Pacquiao both in court and in the ring!!

That's good at least somehow maywheater's mouth should be stuffed to keep it from opening. I agree too that the fight should be realized. PBF should be knocked out twice; one on the court, and the other on the ring that his bragging will somehow be neutralized if it can't eliminated.

I like how you said that PBF should be knocked out twice. I hope he is knocked out twice. Go Pacman!! PBF needs to be put in his place if Mosley is unable to do so. I think that a Mosley vs. Pacman fight could be good too. I don't like Pacman vs. Margarito, which is who Arum favors right now. Margarito just does not have the credentials to make it a credible fight.

There's a big chance the the fight will push through. It's a fight that everyone is excited about. if they have their differences at the moment i'm sure it's going to be ironed out especially if money will do to talking. Mayweather was criticized for botching up a multi million income, it's an opportunity that's too good to pass the second time around. These guys no longer fight for glory alone, they fight because of the money involved.

I agree that both fighters fight for money, especially for Mayweather. I have to respectfully disagree with you that I believe that Manny fights for the honor of his countrymen, as he always carries the hopes and dreams of Filipinos around the world as he steps into the ring. I hope you are right that the fight will push through, because the whole world is on its heels waiting for it.

Anyone who knows Pacquiao is fully aware that he is one of the hardest working athletes in the world. He prepares tirelessly in every fight and his successes are the results of hardwork and natural talent. This is why he had no choice but to respond to all of these allegations legally. Mayweather is just simply scared of Manny. Maybe Floyd is pondering how ineffective his shoulder roll against the flurry of punches of Manny.

I agree with you. Mayweather knows that drawing blood makes Pacquiao psychologically weaker before a fight, as seen in his first fight against Erik Morales. Mayweather is possibly trying to dodge Manny, because he is afraid of the wielder of the Manila Ice.

Maybe will Pacquiao wins this lawsuit. Mayweather is destroying his reputation like that just to avoid fighting Pacquiao is too low. But if Pacquiao decided to forget this lawsuit, he and Mayweather must finish this in the ring. Every boxing fans wants to see this fight and we all want to see how Pacman removes Mayweather's ego and zero.
