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.
Manny Pacquiao’s lawyer team of Daniel Petrocelli, David Marosso and his personal counsel Franklin Gacal will be present, according to the Manila Bulletin. Manny Pacquiao filled the lawsuit due to comments that Mayweather has allegedly made in the past about Manny Pacquiao possibly being on performance enhancing drugs.
Manny Pacquiao’s lawyer Petrocelli told the Manila Bulletin “The case against Mayweather is very strong.”
It’s unclear how much money Manny 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 Manny 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.

Manny said no to $40 Million and he said no to fighting at the MGM with Mayweather… But he says yes to $20 million and yes to the MGM with Bradley… DOES NOT MAKE SENSE… and on top of that EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE PACQUIAO AND MAYWEATHER.

Good point @kilo. How do you turn Down 40 mill when it is twice what your making against Bradley? I’m baffled.. I know it’s politics as usual to this shit. But still why not make the damn fight happn. He’s willing to go to court tho and talk about Mayweather but not willing to negotiate with team Mayweather? Pacquiao head has to be stuck up his ass. I guess the money Changed him I guarantee you (in the year 06-10 pacquiao) would have taken less money for this fight to get done.

Once again Mayweather exposes him. First steroids, sense when boxers go to court over someone saying something negative about them?? Real boxers just get in the ring and take any blood test necessary to make the fight happen and prove they are better. Mannys horrible pay check numbers were exposed, he is suppose to be so called pound for pound champ tho right?! Now he’s fight Bradley for 20 mill but don’t forget that his promotion company gets 27.5% oh and top rank and bob arum get 27.5% so @ kilo he really is going to get no more then (10 million)!!!!! Pacquiao is a joke I don’t care how big a fan of pacquiao anybody is. You can’t defend all the shit he is doing and allowing. Why is everyone speaking for him??? Konckz, arum, ariza,roach etc.. Why not words from manny himself on whether he wants to make the fight happen
?!! It’s sad bro! Maybe it’s the best thing for him to do is retire! From 40 million to 10 million. Great job pacquiao.. Great job!!!!

It is simple why I would rather take 20 rather than 40. RESPECT! Pacquiao already has money and can refuse. He offered the same deal 45M to Mayshithead but did that go anywhere? All Pacquaio was asking was a 50-50 split. You seem to forget that AHs.

Manny says no to $40 million….and Floyd says no to $50 million…so what’s your point kilo? Why does Floyd feel like he can dictate boxing? Manny agreed to ALL of Floyd’s demands, but he can’t agree to a 50/50 split?

MY POINT IS …. IF MANNY SAID $40 MILLION WAS NOT ENOUGH MONEY…THEN WHY IS HE FIGHTING BRADLEY FOR $20 MILLION?

ALSO… IF MANNY DIDN’T WANT TO FIGHT FLOYD AT THE MGM…. WHY IS HE FIGHTING BRADLEY AT THE MGM?

Hey Kilo and Guest (coward)! Before you post anything. KNOW THE WHOLE STORY AND FINISH IT. ESPN, YAHOO, ABC and CBS already said in their sports news: Mayweather would not accept 50/50 split. He wanted 70/30 or at worse for manny 65/35. WHO DOES FLOYD THINK HE IS? MANNY PACQUIAO?? LOL! ASK YOURSELF: A CONVICT VERSUS A CONGRESSMAN AND THE CONVICT WANTS MORE MONEY!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You’re killing me! Manny is not after the money anymore, if there’s one who’s after it it’s Gayweather. It’s about principle and pride. If there’s anybody who needs the bigger cut, it’s Manny not Floyd. He has all the reason to ask for it but instead satisfied with 50/50 split. Do you even know that Money even offered 45/45 and the other 10% goes to the winner. FLOYD DECLINED.
Floyd Chickenweather will do everything to avoid Manny not the other way around. He cannot use blood testing as an excuse anymore and now he’s using other tactics to avoid Manny.
NOW YOU KNOW THE REAL STORY, NOW STICK IT IN YOUR PEEWEE BRAIN AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!!!

Pacs working another angle to get the fight done, he will hurt money where it hurts -in the wallet via defamation lawsuit. his case is strong- EVERY mayweather fan in the forums and youtube started only talking about steroids after their hero may and golden boy brought up roids. before that not much talk can be found in forums.
this is a civil case all he has to prove is damage , and we know how you may fans like to bring up roids, yes paq is damaged because of the accusation-no proof is needed , mayweather and kin continue to speek about drug testing and feed there fan base “notions that Pac is on roids” even after the lawsuit was filed,the judge will look at evidence and see if defendants stopped or tried to quell their fan base.
when Pac has moneys money , then its time to negotiate the fights take$. one more thing May doesnt go to court briefings because he cant keep his mouth shut- he is his worst enemy. very entertaining though.
