Pacquiao lawyers to sue Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao said his legal team is now readying legal suit against Floyd Mayweather and company as the Filipino boxing star has got more incensed at the Mayweathers and executives of Golden Boy Promotions for allegedly twisting facts and coming up with false statements to cover up their mess.

“I can’t believe these guys can lie without batting an eyelash and they would even make it appear that I am the culprit for the delay of the fight and saying that I don’t want it to happen,” said Pacquiao in a statement.

“They claimed that I threatened to walk away from the largest fight in history. That’s their first lie. Last week, I told Floyd Jr. to shut his big, pretty mouth and that we should fight so that the world will get to see who is the best fighter in the planet,” Pacquiao also said.

Pacquiao said they’ve got proof that Mayweather Jr. directly accused him of performance enhancement drugs (PED) use.

“Liars go to hell. They should be man enough and own up to their words,” said Pacquiao, claiming Mayweather Jr. categorically stated that “the Philippines has the best (performance) enhancement drugs,” supporting what his father, Mayweather Sr. and his uncle Jeff Mayweather, have openly claimed in past interviews.

“It’s all over the internet. They all went on record and there is no denying as to who is lying or not,” added Pacquiao, who thinks he has become a victim of black propaganda with the intention of systematically besmirching, tarnishing and destroying his legacy as one of the best fighters of all time.

On Monday, Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions issued a joint statement, saying: “Let it be very clear that nobody from Team Mayweather or Golden Boy Promotions is accusing Pacquiao of anything.”

But Pacquiao insisted Mayweather, in an audio recording they possess, linked him to drug use by maliciously stating that the Philippines is a producer of the best PEDs.

“For including my country in the picture, claiming that we are producers of the best performance enhancing drugs, Mayweather and those who are guilty need to get punished, the sooner, the better, whether it be in the courts or in the ring,” said Pacquiao.

The Filipino ring idol said a lawsuit would be filed whether or not his fight with Mayweather will push through on March 13 in Las Vegas.
