MANILA, Philippines – Undefeated but controversial boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. claimed that Manny Pacquiao is trying to disrupt his training for the Victor Ortiz fight by insisting that he goes through a deposition.
US News Las Vegas reported that Mayweather made his claim through his lawyer who filed a 22-page opposition to Pacquiao’s motion for default and dismissal in relation to their defamation case.
“Although Pacquiao is lauded for his skill in the ring as well, no other elite boxer in history has remained undefeated for 15 years as Mayweather has. As such, it would be very convenient for Pacquiao if Mayweather’s training for his upcoming fight was disrupted," lawyer Mark Tratos said.
Tratos also claimed that Top Rank, which promotes Pacquiao’s fights, also wants Mayweather to lose because it has financial interests on Ortiz.
Pacquiao’s lawyers have already offered several dates in July when Mayweather can conveniently take the deposition.
Mayweather, however, declined to participate in court-ordered discovery because it interfered with his partying, according to a 15-page motion for default and dismissal filed by Pacquiao’s lawyer David Marroso.
Mayweather was reportedly busy hosting a party at a nightclub (Club Primal) in Atlanta on July 1.
The partying allegedly continued in Las Vegas on July 2 at “Club Eve” and on July 3 at Circus Circus.
