Pacquiao's legal team commits error in legal document


Daniel Petrocelli (Photo: www.omm.com)

Around 7:55 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, my cellphone received several text messages from boxing writers and media members informing me that The Boxing Truth Radio had been mentioned in Manny Pacquiao's defamation lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions and Team Mayweather.

The news made sense. 

Floyd Mayweather Senior had appeared on The Boxing Truth Radio on November 8, 2009.  During his appearance, regular caller Dexter from Long Beach asked Mayweather Senior about his past comments regarding Pacquiao and potential performance enhancing drug use.

Of course, given an open door, Papa Maweather spoke on his belief that Pacquiao's rise to glory has been aided by drug use.

The radio show I co-host, every Sunday, was now caught up in the drama keeping boxing fans from seeing one of the biggest fights of the last twenty years.

So when I logged onto the Internet and read the legal papers prepared by attorney Daniel M. Petrocelli's team, I was shocked to see clear errors in the statements made.

The brief stated,  "On or around October 29, 2009, [Floyd] Mayweather Jr. gave an interview to Sirius Satellite Radio's The Boxing Truth Radio.  During the nationally-broadcast interview, the host asked Mayweather to explain how his physical development differed from that of Pacquiao."

To set the record straight, though we would love to have him on as a guest, Floyd Junior has never graced our show.  Like I mentioned, Floyd Senior visited with us in November.  The door is open for Floyd Junior or any other boxer to join The Boxing Truth Radio.

Secondly, The Boxing Truth Radio is not carried by Sirius Satellite Radio and we are broadcast globally via the Internet.

Sloppy mistakes, by a high power legal team.  Makes me think that Manny should ditch the lawsuit, make the bout with Mayweather, get inside the ring, and fight.

    Manny would love to get inside the ring, fight, and continue with the lawsuit. Are you happy now?

    If you made a few mistakes in an an important undertaking, will you drop it just because of those mistakes?

    Corrections can be made!

    Damn showing your true colors there huh? So I guess you are also a high powered lawyer while you are writing for the examiner that pays you 1 cent per site visit. Kudos attorney Lois. For your great legal research I'm going to reward you a whopping 1 cent. Here you go (click) enjoy your New Year! Maybe you can get your $1.50 for this article so can buy a brain and maybe in time buy some writing skills.

  • ricardo lois 2 years ago

    lets just say your a pac hater and im a ricardo hater...how is that sound to you silly...high profile lawyer can make adjustment you dumb ass...if they do (if it's true)made a mistake then, then can and will do fix the problem...you should shut the hell up and wait for the outcome..mayweathers and GBP deserve a law suit.

    Where does Matthew Hatton figure into all this?

  • Doctor Legal 2 years ago

    No Problem!
    Can easily be corrected. Just go to Youtube for that interview, it's all over the internet. Why drop the lawsuit? Everyone wants to see who wins this one. Early betting odds say, Pacquiao will win and be an all time undefeated plaintiff in the judicial system. Mayweather, he'll be 0-1.

    This litigation will be more interesting than the actual fight itself.

    Poor fellas..couldn't keep their mouth shut. If you go back to my comments last week, I said, Pacquiao is letting this fools speak while he gathers all their statements. Look at the transcript and the timeline..

    The Mayweathers and the Dela Hoyas has to be 21sth century dumbb and dumbber!!

  • Nono 2 years ago

    Ricardo, examine your thoughts very well before saying a word. You have been consistent in all your articles which unknown to you, had actually exposed your un-examined mind. Nice try anyway, and you will still learn a lot more as a writer along the way. Keep writing, it's fun to have a "micky mouse" writer actually.

    I will ask Daniel Petrocelli to talk to you. Please since you are pac-hater Ricardo Lois, Why not give defamation comment on pacquiao? So they could add you in the lawsuit. I'd be happy to see your name in the legal document. Happy New Year!

    manny? trains everything, his abs workout is tremendous, he works hard to achieve that body, why can't people accept the fact that someone like manny, Filipino, actually is really good, very talented, gifted, and better than them.

    people, like mayweather,always using excuses like steroids just to make themselves feel better.

    Guys here is the English translation of the interview courtesy of ian26v from Youtube:

    Interviewer: ...now this blood test they're talking about. This is what I don't understand. Why do you have to take a blood test 2 days before the fight? Then here in Manila, news have spread that the fight may not happen, because the Nevada Commission insisted that these tests must be submitted or else they would not grant a permit or recognize this fight. So what happened?

    Pacman: Well this is what happened. So 1 month before the fight, they rushed me to undergo a medical exam which the Nevada Athletic Commission (NSAC) had required. Since this was needed by the NSAC, I needed to undergo a medical exam to fulfill this requirement. So I underwent a medical exam 1 month before the fight. Everything was completed...

    Interviewer: Even the blood test?

    Pacman: .. Yes even the blood test. So when everything was said and done, I resumed back to my training. So here I was..

  • Doctor Legal 2 years ago

    The Mayweather fans don't understand that the more they print and accuses Pacquiao for illegal substance is actually helping Pacquiao with his libel case. Go read the transcript where it mention public opinion. Fools, you're not helping your boy Mayweather one bit.

    Keep the comments coming fools!!!

    If what you say is true, it's not a fatal technicality that even a newly bar passer can easily correct by legally amending the complaint before trial, or during trial to conform to evidence. Justice is about finding the truth, and courts frown at technicalities.

  • Pacman's belief of drawing blood closer to the fig 2 years ago

    I resumed back to my training. So here I was...reducing for tomorrow's weigh-in and 2 days before the fight. Since I have to weigh-in tomorrow, I have been reducing...I didn't drink, I didn't hydrate...so I can meet the weight. On that day, NSAC called and required me to submit a blood test for my medical. I told them that I have completed this test already. My camp reacted, Freddie Roach and my manager. NSAC informed us that the doctor lost my medical records.

    Interviewer: They lost it!?

    Pacman: They lost it. They lost my medical records.

    Interviewer: Ok. So first and foremost, whose fault is it? Is it the hospital? Your manager or maybe one of your team members since they didn't follow up or verified that this has been submitted?

    Pacman: It's puzzling. Why would NSAC not have copies of my medical records when they even rushed me in getting this done 1 month into the fight...and why 2 days into the fight for me to re-submit one?
    Interviewer: So word got here in the Philip

    All of a sudden you have become a legal luminary giving a top-notch advise to a Daniel Petrocelli.

    Manny and Floyd Jr can swing at each other in both the court and the ring!

    It appears that you are a Mayweather insider. So, are you now hinting that Team Floyd, realizing that Manny Pacquiao is serious about his legal threat, have decided to shut up and just step into the ring qith Manny?

    The fight in the court has taken on an entirely different life of its own; thanks to the insistence of the team Mayweather.

    Pacman: Well you know..I spoke to a doctor at another hospital and told me that it's impossible to have my medical records completely lost because those records would have also been stored in a computer.

    Interview: So you didn't further investigate as to who was at fault for this? Or was it imbedded that the hospital, in general was at fault?

    Pacman: Well for sure the hospital was at fault but we didn't have the time to investigate further...it was 2 days into the fight.

  • Pacman's belief of drawing blood closer to the fig 2 years ago

    Interviewer: ...that it's one of the tactics?

    Pacman: Yes. It's one of their tactics...but did you know when I had my blood drawn that day...30 min later I felt dizzy and felt some pain at the back of my neck. I was instructed after getting my blood drawn to re-hydrate. But you know I can't hydrate!? You know I can't eat!? [because of the weigh-in]. So what I did instead was I lay down and had my neck massaged.

    Interviewer: So by fight time, did you really felt that you were weak?

    Pacman: For sure I did. Those punches that were landing on Morales...it came into my mind that if this is all the power I can deliver...I won't be able to KO him out.

    Interviewer: Well you know that when they interviewed Morales after the fight, he said that he didn't even feel the sting of your punches..

    Pacman: Well I like it that way because he doesn't have a clue that those punches were not packed

    Interviewer: So you'll let him feel the sting for this next fight then...(laughing)[end]
