American federal judge Larry Hicks awarded Pacquiao about $113000 (R928000) in legal fees for his lawyers and $774 (R6350) in costs, because of "Mayweather's obviously intentional decision not to appear for his court-ordered deposition".

Pacquiao filed a lawsuit three years ago in Las Vegas, saying that Mayweather defamed him by suggesting Pacquiao used performance-enhancing substances. The lawsuit seeks unspecific damages.

"Calling a professional athlete a cheater is the most serious charge one can make," the lawsuit said. "Accusing an athlete of using performance-enhancing drugs - however baseless and lacking in evidence - is toxic."

Filipino superstar Pacquiao and the undefeated Mayweather have never faced each other in the ring and the suit is viewed as one of the roadblocks to a much-anticipated mega-fight.

Excellent for you Manny Pacquiao with the money that Floyd has courts are the only chance of you beating him. Continue to run away from the drug tests, the only reason the court granted your request was because Floyd just didn't pitch many times however that does not mean you are not using drugs.
