According to the document, Mayweather has allegedly continued to make defamatory statements about Manny, including the following:
• During an interview in January 2011, Mayweather stated: “When Manny gave blood before the first Morales fight, he lost. He didn’t give blood for the next two fights and he knocked Morales out with ease. A lot of times, people don’t realize, giving blood doesn’t make you weak. Not being able to juice because you have to give blood makes you weak.” (Marroso Decl., Ex. 1.)
• In May 2011, Mayweather bragged to reporters about a boxer under his tutelage: “Unlike Pacquiao, my fighters are all natural.” (Marroso Decl., Ex. 5.)Perhaps the more interesting part of the filing is the allegation that while Mayweather has claimed he could not be available for a deposition because of his training regimen for his upcoming fight with Ortiz, there are pictures that purport to show Mayweather partying. Check the link for the pictures.
• During another interview in May 2011 Mayweather said, “so you going to say that [Pacquiao’s] able to go from 105 [lbs] to 154 [lbs], and ya’ll say you know what, ‘it’s all natural.’ That’s all I’m asking.” (Marroso
Decl., Ex. 4.)
