PACQUIAO’S DEPOSITION TAKEN NEXT WEEK

Manny Pacquiao is expected to face a crack legal team of Golden Boy Promotions when his deposition is taken next week in Los Angeles.
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer informed Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today that Pacquiao’s deposition is in connection with the case filed by Golden Boy against Top Rank promoter Bob Arum for “tortuous interference” in their seven fight contract which Pacquiao signed in mid-September last year.
Arum signed Pacquiao to a four-fight contract some two months later and the popular and exciting fighter turned his back on the Golden Boy contract and fought under Arum after receiving $1 million as bonus which was twice as much as he received from by Golden Boy.
The Golden Boy Promotions legal team which is headed by the legendary Bertram Fields has been further enhanced by Judd Burstein who is now on Oscar De La Hoya’s legal team.
Schaefer described Burstein as “a terrific attorney who complements our existing team” and indicated Burstein would “assist us in many different matters.” He is regarded as an outstanding attorney in sports law and has successfully handled many high profile cases.
Burstein was the lawyer picked by Pacquiao’s former manager Shelly Finkel to help get Pacquiao out of his contract with former promoter Murad Muhammad which was achieved through an out-of-court settlement.
Pacquiao is expected to have trouble answering questions about the signing of a contract with Golden Boy and then signing another contract with Arum especially since he received $1 million as compared to the $500,000 he took from Golden Boy.
Pacquiao had also, unknown to many, filed a case against Oscar De La Hoya which his friend and confidant Rex “Wakee” Salud said Pacquiao claimed he didn’t know anything about.
