PURSUE THE LAWSUIT AND DONATE THE PROCEEDS TO CHARITY

Enough of being a Mr.Good Guy anymore. Just get on with the lawsuit, Manny!
You should pursue the lawsuit against those who allegedly tarnished your reputation such as Mayweather Senior and his son Junior, Richard Schaefer, Oscar de la Hoya, and the two advisers of Junior, Haymon and Ellerbe
And you should leave no stone unturned and use all the resources necessary to win it, including high powered lawyers and medical experts.
Then donate the net monetary gained from the lawsuit to charities in the Philippines particularly those involving the home less and the abused women and children.
That should really make you look good in the eyes of everyone and feel good about yourself to boot.
Forget about accepting a simple public apology.
Remember, a ruined reputation is very difficult to regain. Not even the heavy punitive monetary awards to pay for the damages will help recover it fully. It helps, but not totally.
Without the lawsuit those who ruined your reputation will not learn a lesson and will potentially do it again and again. And, I am sure they will laugh at you behind your back.
Nothing can straighten up these accusers like a huge hole in their pockets.
And, forget about “changing minds” and deciding that a threaten lawsuit is enough.
With your statements indicating that you plan to file a lawsuit you placed yourself against the wall and there should be no turning around now.
You must do it, or potentially lose some credibility.
If you decide to drop the proposed lawsuit, you may appear weak in the eyes of the world, particularly the boxing fans. People will say you are “just talk and no action”.
Incidentally, “talk and no action” is not the making of a future Congressman.
Therefore, stop the posturing and go on with the damn lawsuit.
That is the best and the only way to stop the charade created by Team Mayweather.
Then get on the business of getting a fight with someone else on March 13th and winning the elections on May 10th.
But please, not a March 13th fight with Paulie. That guy is a pancake and has no chance to put up a good fight much less win it against you. He is not in your league, so to speak.
Step up one more weight class and fight Yuri Foreman and go for the legacy of being the only man to win titles in eight different weight classes.
You know what a “Pacquiao victory” over Foreman will do to your old foe de la Hoya and that cherry-picker, Mayweather Junior?
The said victory will rub it in deep and painful on them as they have no chance of ever duplicating such a feat!
