It's an opinion. All facts will presented in court. It should be good while it lasts.

In law, an opinion (also consilia) is usually a written explanation by a judge or group of judges that accompanies an order or ruling in a case, laying out the rationale and legal principles for the ruling.

Opinions are usually published at the direction of the court, and to the extent they contain pronouncements about what the law is and how it should be interpreted, they reinforce, change, establish, or overturn legal precedent.

Come on, this is basic Google Law 101 stuff here. You're better than that.

Yeah, all facts will still need to be presented in court for the jury to decide on. What happens if the jury decides "Not Guilty"?

The only ones winning in this case are the lawyers and they are the only people that are going to get paid~

Why doesn't Manny just sue him and if Manny wins, the judge forces Floyd to fight.. I don't even know what he's suing for(seeing how i aint paying attention to this lawsuit)

Uh oh...

"In a written opinion released today, Judge Hicks wrote, “defendants’ alleged statements are actionable defamatory statements because they falsely assert an objective fact: namely, that Pacquiao was using and had used PEDs. First, the court finds that a reasonable listener would understand and interpret the moving defendants’ statements to imply that Pacquiao has used and is using PEDs... Further, the court finds that the alleged statements are presupposed facts not available to a reasonable listener but that a reasonable listener would assume implied actual knowledge of the statement’s truth.” Judge Hicks listed the following examples of statements that would convince a listener that there was proof that Pacquiao took PEDs: De La Hoya’s comparing Pacquiao’s punches as similar to other fighters who have taken PEDs; Floyd Mayweather, Jr.’s statements that Pacquiao’s physical development is a result of the Phillippines having access to the best performance enhancing drugs and also that Pacquiao has “the power pellets, yo, the steroid juice”; and Schaefer’s statement that he “was sure” that Pacquiao uses PEDs. A trial date has not been set."

Them boys better get those check books ready

That only show their words are defamatory, there are numerous defences to the charge so you cannot say with certainty that they will have to take out their check books.

frivulous? i don't think so.

the least pac's camp will get is probably them not having to pay GBP anymore if he fights under the TR banner.

GBP didn't act in pacquiao's best interest with those defamatory statements.
