Pacquiao mulls legal action vs Mayweather over ‘steroids’ claim


A strong left hook as devastating as the one that knocked out Ricky Hatton last summer may be coming Floyd Mayweather Sr.’s way.

Boxing star Manny Pacquiao bared he’s seriously contemplating on taking legal action against the outspoken American trainer regarding comments he made insinuating the Filipino boxing idol is into steroids.

The issue surrounding illegal supplement welcomed Pacquiao Thursday morning upon his return from a week-long promotional tour for his Nov. 14 title fight with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto.

The world’s top pound-for-pound king didn’t take the Mayweather accusation sitting down, readily instructing legal counsel Jeng Gacal to examine the statements made by the ageing American trainer and see if possible legal action could be filed.

“Pinag-aaralan na namin kung sasampahan namin siya ng kaso tungkol sa mga pinagsasabi niya," said the 30-year-old boxing champ.

Pacquiao was quick to deny he’s taking steroids and other type of supplements that resulted in his sensational victories over boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya and Hatton – two fighters bigger and stronger than him, but whom he brutally beat in succession.

Mayweather Sr. incidentally, was the trainer of Hatton when Pacquiao knocked him out cold inside two rounds.

“Ano ba yang steroids na yan? Anong kulay ba yan? Ni hindi ko nga alam ang hitsura ng steroids. Baka sila ang gumagamit nun," said Pacquiao, obviously annoyed by Mayweather Sr.’s insinuation.

Quoted by the international press, Mayweather Sr. the other day implied Pacquiao was into illegal stuff the way other boxers have been doing these days.

“I believe he’s (Pacquiao) on some type of supplements. I’m convinced about a lot of (boxers). That’s what they’re (Pacquiao camp) doing right now. Everybody should be checked a little bit more thoroughly. Sometimes people know what’s going on but they ain’t saying anything."

Despite the threat of a legal action against him, Mayweather Sr. remains steadfast in his belief.

“I think Pacquiao is on something," he said in an interview with FightHype.com. “I’m telling you, he puts on that weight too fast and it’s too lean. They need to start checking him and monitoring him better.

And yes, Mayweather is aware of it, acknowledging, “I hear the Filipinos are mad at me."

Count Pacquiao trainer and mortal rival Freddie Roach among those furious against Mayweather Sr.

“You know, these guys come up with reason why they lost," said Roach. “They lost because Floyd Sr sucks as trainer and I had the better fighter."

Despite the unpleasant matter that welcomed him upon his return, Pacquiao remains upbeat about the eight-week training camp he’ll have for the Cotto fight.

Arriving aboard PAL flight 103 Thursday morning, Pacquiao said he will be traveling to Baguio on Sunday where he will be based until mid-October.

Training camp formally begins on Sept. 21, and then shifts base in the U.S. at the Wild Card gym in Los Angeles by Oct. 17. - GMANews.TV
