On May 6, 2015, a motion to transfer pending actions to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California was filed by a plaintiff on behalf of himself and others who paid $99.95 for the Pay-Per-View boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. The defendants in these cases are the two boxers, as well as Mayweather Promotions LLC, and Top Rank, INC. The plaintiffs filed suits after it was revealed the Manny Pacquiao, who was thoroughly dominated by Mayweather, failed to disclose a major shoulder injury before the match. The plaintiffs claim they would not have purchased the match if Pacquiao had disclosed of his injury, and are including all persons residing in California who purchased the fight in a subclass of plaintiffs.
Since I was a kid I have always wanted to box and when I got older my parents finally let me box. They thought that I was going to be irresponsible and cause problems but then the summer going into ninth grade my father let me start boxing. I started off learning the basics simple combinations and how to move my feet the right way. I loved boxing at first then I grew to hate it as it got more difficult for me. My father wanted me to stay in boxing so I could learn to defend myself, but I didn’t care. At the end of my freshman year of high school, I was at the civic center with my boxing coach. It was a warm night in May and I was getting ready to practice. The gym was filled with a lot of kids who were playing basketball. The gym was
In 1995, O.J. Simpson, one of the most acclaimed National Football League players, was tried on two counts of murder. This is a case that would stay inclusive forever in the eyes of most Americans; and that would change the way America’s legal system operated. During the trial racism evolved around Simpson and multiple inferences led to an especially controversial definitive, later known as the “trial of the century.”
.The lawsuit was settled outside of court for the already mentioned amount of $765 million to bedistributed among the 4,400 players, barring any unforeseen circumstances. The problem here is the
Casey Anthony was born on March 19, 1986 in Warren, Ohio. Casey Anthony was one of two children of Cindy and George Anthony. “Casey was a bright, personable young girl with friends and what many thought was an ordinary American family” (Biography).

I feel that the sports media selected to focus on O.J. Simpson instead of other major milestones because at that time, O.J. Simpson was and still is considered one of the best running backs to ever play in the NFL. Even after football, O.J. was still a superstar was in many different movies and TV shows and had endorsement deals, so the media knew exactly the type of figure and role model he was so they wanted to broadcast what many people would have considered the unexpected. I feel that the media knew exactly what they was doing when they broke into other major sports events because they knew the car chase was either going to get people mad or make them interested but either way it was going to get the viewer’s attention. The major sporting
The “Fight of the Century” between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao shared similarities with the Fight of Last Century between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries in terms of grandeur and publicity. The fight between Johnson and Jeffries was painted on a background of racism and is viewed as a key event in the struggle against white supremacy. However, with the U.S. striving to eliminate racism, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was not centered on racial conflict. Nonetheless, the fight on May 2, 2015 contained ingredients of social justice issues. “Mayweather is Jack Johnson without a redeeming side. Johnson, despite a polarizing persona, at least inspired pride among black folk. Mayweather's violent history with women renders him a hip O.J. Simpson,
“A View from the Bridge” is a tragic play written by Arthur Miller, based on the concept of illegal immigrants being snitched on by their own relatives. In this play, the boxing scene refers to the last part of Act 1 or Episode 5 of the play. So far in the play, we learn that Beatrice and Eddie are married, and their adopted child is Catherine, who is almost a legal adult. Marco and Rodolfo are illegal immigrants from Sicily, who are Beatrice’s cousins. Catherine and Rodolfo soon start to develop feelings for each other, and Eddie is trying to prevent this, as he has an unnatural attraction for Catherine. In the boxing scene, Eddie insults Rodolfo many times, and tries to humiliate him through boxing with him. Marco gets angry
I believe that Manny Pacquiao should have mentioned that his shoulder was injured or else the people would have not encouraged him to play against Floyd Mayweather. Of course, he would have won if Manny Pacquiao hurt his arm because he would have not had enough strength to fight against his opponent. Just one hit from the match and Manny could have fell to the groud and making fans disappointed. If he had mentioned that he hurt his shoulder, then they could have settled a different date to do the boxing match. That way it would be a competitive and fair boxing match when the two people are ready to fight. I mean he did have to disclose about his shoulder, but it would be beneficial for him to do because then his fans would understand why he

Atueayu, I agree with you. We cannot serve God and money. This society is very materialistic and people like to brag about their money, cars, mansions, and etc. Floyd Mayweather is a good example of those who tend boast and brag about money. Does he realize that without God, he would not be a gifted boxer? People forget about the creator when their mind is clouded with their riches. "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (KJV, 1 Timothy 6:10). Money has corrupted a lot of people, and has even ruined relationships with their loved one. They fail to realize that when they leave this earth, those materialistic things will
