Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Mayweather/Golden Boy Legal Battle Update

[Alibata]

Yeah, except he didn't react in defiance. What was his initial reaction again?

Is their a law suit filed against Floyd? Is there a fight? Psychology as to why people react the way they do is another science that, although relative to the individual, have commonalities given the stimulus. There are a number of possible reasons Pacquiao reacted the way he did, but you are sympathetic to Mayweather and hence blind and biased to this particular situation of a man reacting to an insulting allegation that has not been proven. So we know Pacquiao was not reacting to any evidence or proof regarding his use of PEDs, because there aren't any, but rather to a man/men who's public words devalue not only his character as a person, but the essence of what has made him who he is; his work.


This reminds me of an analogy growing up and going to school in the Philippines that would maybe bring some insight to the psychology of this situation. I am sure most of the Pinoys (maybe even Pacquiao himself) on here that grew up in the Philippines are familiar with this. In the school yards when someone did something offensive to another person to a level that provokes intervention, before any blows are even thrown, the two parties involved are put face to face to air out their differences. If nothing is resolved by words or an immediate altercation, a third party intervenes and provokes a reaction. He asks the offending Party to touch the other guys ears to see how the other guy reacts. If there is no reaction, the guy who had his ear touched is asked to do the same or maybe even something more drastic, like to squeeze the other guys nose. This is done until someone either yields by walking away, apologizing, or throwing the first punch. I have been through that situation many times as a kid growing up and throwing the first punch was always on my mind although I did not always do that in fear of the consequences of getting in to something I can't get out of without really getting the full satisfaction I needed; If someone stole from me, I may have not have gotten my money back, or an appology, etc. In time, I had learned the the more satisfying alternative was to have an older, more mature, more responsible individual be the third party if I wanted a true resolution, which was more than just wanting my money back if that was the case or a hand shake if someone was talking smack about my mom, etc. because many times it was deeper than just that, it was personal. It doesn't mean I did not think about throwing that punch or even ****ing my hand back or clenching my fist.


I gave that example out just to separate you from your bias a little bit and perch that you view this situation from. The Mayweathers have insulted Manny, slandered his name and continue to do so. They got personal with Manny. Was it natural for a million thoughts to course through Manny's head about how to react? Is it possible for Manny to have reacted without really assessing the situation and have changed his mind later on? Pacquiao clenched his fists and ****ed back when Mayweather had his ear but decided not to throw the punch. This is more than just about Money, there are many things involved, Pacquiao can't just react, he has to think what the best way is to get his satisfaction. Manny chose the high road, instead of squeezing Mayweather in the nose, he chose to have a more responsible party intervene.

this is a very simple case. if pac is guilty he wouldn't file this lawsuit. any moronic bastard with a room temperature iq could see this. guilt will always be evident in the court in the eyes of the jury and judge, or any ****** schmo in the street. you can't hide guilt. now, if you're the accuser you shouldn't complain that you're being sued. you're supposed to welcome it with open arms. now is your chance to prove your case.

complaining about it is clear that you're just making things up and you're a ****** moron just casually accuse anyone of doing something wrong out of a number of reasons such a jealousy, racism... you should disappear from the face of the planet in my humble opinion.

freedom of speech doens't end in your home or in the street. mayweathers can say waht they want in court. you should welcome it. mayweahters now have their chance to prove themselves in court. they should be happy about it. it's not like their mouths are going to be duck taped. you accuse a person without evidence, you should prove it, not the other way around.

1. There were no Olympics in 2006

2. She wasn't caught via testing

3. OST used now wasn't in place until the winter 2000 Olympics. Jones won her medals in summer 2000. When she raced using OST in 2004, she bombed.

HANG HIM!!!!!LYNCH HIM!!!!! BURN THE WITCH AT THE STAKE!!!! I like the way you think. It may be uncivilized but if this was the good ol days, there would be a bunch of *****s with pitch forks and torches in front of Manny's house. That is if they got away from being hanged by the white man who felt they ****d some white woman or stole something. *****s are so uncivilized, no wonder they think like neanderthals... I like it though

" if this was the good ol days "..... Manny would have taken the test.

RUBBISH !!

That bull**** " lawsuit " is nothing but a gag-order

It will come to nothing.

Manny should up his suit payment demand to $100 million. If that's not karma, I don't know what is
