Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao proceeded in a court in Las Vegas on Wednesday and filed a case. Pacquiao claims that Mayweather and others defamed him by falsely saying he used performance-enhancing drugs to the fights where he won against Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton and among others.
Pacquiao was getting angry when the news broke out from the Mayweather camp’s which insists on having random blood test to Manny before their welterweight fight that is not sure to happen on March 13, 2010.
“Calling a professional athlete a cheater is the most serious charge one can make,” the lawsuit says, “and in today’s world, accusing an athlete of using performance-enhancing drugs – however baseless and lacking in evidence – is toxic.“
Manny Pacquiao’s lawsuit asks for damages of 75,000 dollars against the names Floyd Mayweather Senior, Floyd Mayweather Junior, and Roger Mayweather.
Meanwhile, Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, who operate Golden Boy Promotions and are promoting Mayweather, are also named as having “stated publicly that Pacquiao has used and is using performance-enhancing drugs, including steroids.”
Manny Pacquiao, is now called by many as boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighter, has earned titles in seven weight classes.
