4. I cant stand crooks. He should ask the judge to also stipulate that the owners cease and desist from ever owning or running a business again.

5. Apparently Merriman never heard of me, James "Lights Out" Toney

6. Good for Shawne. He has a separate business and it just sounds like he is protecting what is his - happens all the time. The only difference is that he's a famous football player.

7. To James Toney: If you branded a clothing line called "Lights Out" and took the time to register trademarks and do business as "Lights Out" separate and apart from your nickname, maybe you would have something to say here that means anything legally.

You were a good boxer though, no denial.

8. Do a web search on the words "Lights Out". Merriman has a lot more businesses he needs to look into suing since he has nothing else better to do.

9. I GUESS THEY WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT NIKE HAS TO SAY ABOUT THAT!!! IF ANYTHING NIKE WILL TAKE MERRIMAN'S CONTRACT AWAY FOR ENDORSING HIS OWN CLOTHING LINE WHICH BY THE WAY IT DOESNT EXIST!!! 1 TSHIRT DOESNT CONSIST OF A FULL CLOTHING LINE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM! PEOPLE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! HES JUST AND OVER PAID PLAYER HATING ON THE LITTLE GUYS!!!

11. I saw a lights out shirts on a buddy of mine who fought in atlanta. I had no idea who Shawne is and he is not even in the MMA. I have never seen any lights out clothes before, does anyone know what Shawne clothes look like?

12. Proofread your damn article TMZ.

"Merriman claims he's been using the nickname "Lights Out" since HIS knocked a quarterback out cold during his sophomore year in high school -- almost ten years ago"

13. I hope someone hits this primadona so hard during a game that he gets his "LIGHT'S OUT.

14. Shawne has a clothing line? What is it? I have never seen anything in any stores or anywhere from him. I went to the lightsout website and there really isnt anything there. I found a boxing site called lights out. I have never heard of them either. I did find other websites with lights out on it, is he mad at all the other companies doing it too? There are a number of them. thanks Paul

15. Ok ok I went to the lights out website and the shirts look cool but what does this have to do with Shawne? He is NFL and this is MMA Fight stuff. If he doesn't make MMA clothing or any clothing why is he upset?
