Attar claimed in the lawsuit that he had held talks with Pacquiao to fight Mikey Garcia. Paradigm Sports attorney Judd Burstein had mentioned the economic and reputational loss the company will suffer should Pacquiao breach the contract.
He said:
“In addition to the millions of dollars in straightforward economic loss that Paradigm stands to suffer, the damage to its reputation resulting from Pacquiao’s breaches is incalculable. Just when Paradigm was at the cusp of establishing itself as a major player in professional boxing, Pacquiao has left its reputation as a boxing representative in tatters.”
Manny Pacquiao’s attorney Dale Kinsella had responded that the lawsuit is a ‘frivolous effort to interfere with Manny Pacquiao’s upcoming mega fight’.
