By Jason Kim: As reported by The Grand Rapids Press, World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao could stand to win tens of millions of dollars if his lawsuit for defamation against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Sr., Roger Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is successful. Pacquiao has hired famous American lawyer Daniel Petrocelli to represent him in this case. Petrocelli said in an interview at Grand Rapids Press, “They’ve already done untold damage, in the tens of millions of dollars, and we’re going to see this doesn’t happen again, and we’re going to recover for all the damage that they’ve already inflicted.”
If Pacquiao does win this case, he may not need to fight Mayweather after all to get a huge payday, because this case could potentially bring Pacquiao millions of dollars in damages. If Pacquiao fights Mayweather, he stands to make between $25 million to $40 million. That fight is looking more and less likely to happen because the two sides have been unable to agree to the drug testing methods.
