Mayweather Jr. Loses Appeal in Pacquiao Defamation Suit

Back in 2009 Manny Pacquiao filed suit against Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., Floyd’s uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions and Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, who head up Golden Boy Promotions. The suit claims the Mayweather camp defamed his character by falsely accusing him of cheating by using performance-enhancing drugs. Pacquiao maintains he is not on the “juice.”

Fast forward to June 2011 and Mayweather Jr., skips his court-ordered deposition. Pacquiao’s lawyer sought a default judgement, Mayweather’s legal team filed for an emergency appeal, and now the judge has denied that appeal.

Sorry, Floyd, you’re gonna have to talk.

Stay tuned.

Obviously, we know these two won’t be fighting any time soon.
