Manny Pacquiao is definitely one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. Manny Pacquiao also dropped a huge Logan Paul bombshell.
A lawsuit filed by Paradigm Sports and its founder Audie Attar against Manny Pacquiao is set to go to trial on March 3, 2023. The lawsuit, filed in an Orange County, California courthouse, alleges that Pacquiao breached his contract with Paradigm Sports Management. The contract in question was for a four-fight deal with sports streaming service DAZN, the first of which was supposed to be a bout against Mikey Garcia. However, Pacquiao instead announced a super-fight with Errol Spence Jr. and headlining a Fox Sports pay-per-view event, which prompted Attar to protect their investment and interests. Attar claims that Pacquiao failed to fulfill his contractual obligations, including the return of a $3.3 million advance.
“The complaint filed by Paradigm Sports in California state court on Friday is a frivolous effort to interfere with Manny Pacquiao’s upcoming mega fight, and it can and will fail for numerous reasons, Moreover, had Manny Pacquiao known that Paradigm Sports appears to have had no intention of fulfilling its contractual obligations, he never would have entered into any relationship with them.”
Paradigm Sports themselves issued a statement regarding how they plan to seek restitution to compensate for their alleged losses:
“Once Paradigm wins at trial in March, we will cut off 100% of Manny’s opportunities to earn money in the United States from any source because any revenue he generates will be attached to his judgment… Additionally, Paradigm will aggressively pursue enforcement of its judgment in any foreign country where Manny seeks to fight.”
