Pacquiao To Sue Mayweather

Saturday, December 26 2009 11:51 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Clutch

Uh-oh. According to ESPN, Manny Pacquiao is on the verge of suing Floyd Mayweather, Jr for defamation. Reportedly, Mayweather, Sr and his camp have repeatedly accused Pacquiao of juicing.

“Enough is enough. These people, Mayweather Sr., [Mayweather] Jr. and Golden Boy Promotions, think it is a joke and a right to accuse someone wrongly of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs,” said Pacquiao, who denied that he has ever used any banned substance and who has passed all of his drug tests. “I have tried to just brush it off as a mere prefight ploy, but I think they have gone overboard.”

Mayweather and Pacquiao are scheduled to fight on March 13, 2010 in Las Vegas.
